About Us
The NERD Project
Not. Even. Remotely. Done.
We didn't quit. We evolved.
For eight years, you knew us as Nerdz in Woodstock. We built a community, hosted thousands of games, and poured our hearts into a storefront that became a local staple. But as the industry is changing, we know it’s time for a new chapter—for us, and for the shop.
We are now launching The NERD Project.
The Torch is Being Passed
We made the strategic decision to sell our physical storefront, but we didn't just sell it to anyone. We are passing the keys to Jared, our longest-working employee who has been the backbone of the shop for over six years.
Jared is keeping the hobby shop dream alive at the original location under a new banner: Packz Gaming.
He knows this community better than anyone, and we are incredibly proud to see him take the reins. If you're looking for a place to play and hang out in Woodstock, Packz Gaming is your home.
Our New Mission: The NERD Project
So, what happens to us? We are pivoting to focus entirely on what comes next. The NERD Project is our new dedicated operation for online TCG singles, custom printing, and digital content. We are moving out of the retail space to streamline our services and bring you a better online experience.
We aren't done serving this community. We're just getting started on a new format.
