Game shops don't get enough love. Sure, you can design a game shop as a simple exchange of money for stuff, but they can be so much more. A center for bartering and negotiating. A place to meet new characters and uncover game story details. A system of chance that can make or break a run in a roguelike. All the way up to game mechanics so detailed that they become the entirety of the game. Let's talk about how to design fun game shops.
