My wife Lisa and I started Born 2 Game in 2016 with a simple idea: a store for board games, trading card games and every other kind of game, run by people who play them. Life put the brakes on for a while, but we came back to it, and today Born 2 Game is a full game store at 1372 Old Bridge Road in Woodbridge, Virginia.
I spent five years in the United States Marine Corps, including two tours in Iraq. After the Corps I settled here in Virginia, and giving back to this community still matters to me. Lisa is part of the team too, and she also runs her own craft business, Turn N Sew (turnnsew.com), making keepsake bears and bunnies, often from material that belonged to a client's loved one who has passed away.
Our kids, Hunter and Logann, are the reason we push to make this work. I've loved Pokémon for a long time, and one day I'd love to hand the store over to them, if that's the direction life takes them.
What you'll find here
Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece, Lorcana, Star Wars: Unlimited, Riftbound, Gundam, Flesh and Blood and Final Fantasy, plus Warhammer, board games, Beyblade X, paints, dice, sleeves and binders. We run events every day of the week, a free Board Game Night every Friday at 7 PM, and a Member Library with more than 150 board games and puzzles and 100 Black Library novels to borrow.
We're open 7 days a week: Monday to Friday 2 PM to 10 PM, Saturday and Sunday 10 AM to 10 PM. Stop by, join our Discord, or say hi on Instagram or Facebook. I always enjoy a good conversation, even if it's not about Pokémon.
