Athena Games Avis 

I first learned to play Pokemon here back in 2015, and it was a wholesome place to go and learn and make friends. Unfortunately now that is not the case. The community I grew to love have all been cast aside for what can only be described as a school yard. It’s a very unwelcoming, toxic place to be and I find myself not wanting to go back anymore. Not to mention the treatment of a fellow player and friend based on minimal evidence. The staff are incredibly unhelpful, and while I understand they may not participate, their knowledge of the game is not warranting the league status they hold, for everyone who has helped or tried have all been pushed out. Lack of communication and understanding has led to a very poor place to enjoy a well loved hobbie.

As someone who played at athena back in the day (6 years ago) I have returned to find the place nothing like I remember the pokemon community is dead and gone the new players that do play are toxic and cliquey and the learn to play nights on Wednesdays (start at 5pm) you get charged £5 to enter and you get no support from a pokemon judge no one there trys helping players learn you just get left to your own devices and at the end of the night everyone gets 1 pack so realy your paying well over the odds for 1 pack and learning nothing I have attended a learn to play night at another store (I won't promote on here) and well established good players of the TCG were teaching children how to play and it was FREE for the children to learn from good players in the community that have played many big events and done well in them. I don't understand what has happened with athena or the community of players that used to play there but its not fun to play there and it's not a good place to learn to play anymore the shop seems to be out for themselves now charging alot for very little service also it's a joke that the prize support that pokemon company have sent out to stores is being given out every 4 events you attend unlike all other shops giving out once a week. I hate to write this but I wouldn't if it wasn't true I realy hope that something changes because as it stands I probably won't be going back.

Bought 2 sets of “Oakie Doakie” dice. Great price. Speedy delivery and a really nice “thank you” Email from Jamie (one of the owners). Would recommend and use again where possible.

Great experience in buying from this company online

Really fast delivery, item arrived very carefully packed and in pristine condition. I was kept updated the whole time, brilliant company.

Good experience - they had the card sets I was looking for, quick delivery, and in good condition. Thank you!

First time using Athena Games and very happy with the service. Order arrived the following day and kept up to date on progress all the way. Would highly recommend.

A great store, always really freindly and helpful.

Fantastic company, great service. Brilliant customer service and excellent delivery. Really cannot fault them. Definitely will be ordering from them again.

Next day delivery, items extremely well packaged and everything exactly as described on the site. Cheers!

Really pleased with this company. Ordered an item that was out of stock at several other retailers and overpriced on a certain large online store. Site was easy to use, order was delivered extremely quickly, very well packaged, item was well sealed and in good condition with excellent communication throughout. Having recently had a bad experience with another company that didn't even bother to inform me after I had placed an order that my item was out of stock it was very refreshing to find a company that clearly cares about good customer service. Thank you!

Great shop! Items arrived quickly, really well packaged and price was great. Would definitely use again.

Great friendly communications and a speedy service. Thank you!

I am in the process of completing my Call of Cthulhu LCG collection. Getting some of these older stock expansions are hard to get hold of. I was pleased to see Athena had some of the items I was looking for but I have never used them before. I placed my order and the item was dispatched by tracked delivery within a day. So pleased I order again today and by the end of play the courier has supplied tracking numbers for delivery tomorrow. My new favourite online game provider. Keep up the great work, I will be back.

Ordered a booster box next day got email saying it was out of stock and cancelled was first and last time i buy from them. will never use them again.

Ordered Friday, arrives Saturday! Amazing service. Thanks!!
