Game over?
Davis Cards & Games shutters, seeks space for summer camps
The game and hobby store Davis Cards & Games has closed – at least temporarily.
On Tuesday, the store at 1790 E. Eighth St. had a sign on the door saying it was closed temporarily for a family emergency. Someone was seen packing up boxes. On Wednesday, an eviction notice appeared on the storefront.
Owner Brian Roy purchased the store from Melissa Showalter in June 2024. It specializes in tabletop games, and hosts in-house events for games like Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering.
When I reached Roy by email, he confirmed the news. “We are hoping to find another location but for the moment, we will be closed and at most possibly fulfilling online orders.”
Comings & Goings acquired a copy of a notice Roy posted to staff Thursday morning on the private Davis Cards & Games Discord server.
