How it all began, a long time in the making:

Owner James Jerman collected Magic the Gathering cards since he was a teenager, he wanted to collect several copies of each card in each set, the problem is there was about 100 sets (and still counting), with hundreds of cards in each set. That’s a lot of cards. Co-Owner Samantha Ames wanted to rid of some of the thousands upon thousands of cards he had, so she sorted them for him.

James became a judge for Magic and ran tournaments in Newark for years. We moved to Dover and he began running tournaments in multiple game stores across Delaware. He also sold cards on consignment, trade shows, etc.


In 2012, Sam started selling James’ Magic cards online with great success. We then started to buy even more cards if you can imagine it. We traveled as far as north New Jersey buying Magic cards. 2013 Our Game Table closed and we bought quite a bit of their inventory. The goal was always to open a brick and mortar store though, selling online was supposed to be a stepping stone. In 2015 we finally started writing a business plan and started looking for a location. We opened Born to Game in April of 2016 with the goal of becoming the best game store in Delaware!
