Walked in and was instantly greeted by the front clerk (forgot his name) and was offered a tour. Youll have your choice of board games and table top war games. You will also find hobby supplies. In the back there is discounted out of print books and codices for my fellow warhammer players. Overall, a great gaming store. I wish I was able to get a game in, but because I was visiting family, there was no way I was bringing my army across the country.
Always a great experience. Awesome selection. One of the few shops left to find all of your game needs. Minis, paints, books, everything.
First time shopping here since I was a kid, its good to see the place is as amazing as I remember
Amazing find! Cant wait to go back. Steven was the nicest and very helpful.
Awesome store Great staff and a cool place to start a hobby
This place is amazing I have so many memories with friends here and yugi tournaments.
At first glance it looks cluttered but the nice staff knew exactly where to look for my book and extra resources for my game in the back I could have stayed all day just looking at the rest of the cool miniatures cant wait to go back
Crazy cool store, theyve been open for 40 years and they have a TON of board games. They have twighlight imperium which is 150$ and a ton of other unique board games
This place brings nostalgia I remember coming here as a kid to buy my Yugioh packs also all of my brothers did aswell, I am happy to see it still open. For all your games fix this place is a oasis, the workers are always so knowledgeable and happy to help.
Love this place bin going sens my high school hope it stays open for ever 😁
Awesome store, cool people and good vibes.
I work here so I am prejudiced. It is a great place to learn about and buy games. In the pre-pandemic days, it was a frequent gathering place for gamers.
Very kind store employee, helped us pick out a great gift for a friend :)
A pretty fun and interesting place.Has a bunch of options for board games, but is very heavily focused on DnD.Its run by three very friendly older gentlemen. It has a bunch of cool DnD monsters decorating the walls in a backroom.A must go for people just getting into, or are heavily into DnD.
Atrocious customer service. Just had another in a long line of poor experiences here. I came in to buy a number of D&D characters. When asking for assistance in locating models on their sparse and disorganized racks I was made to feel as if I was bothering the employee. No offer was made to order items they didn’t have in stock and when I asked if the model in the package looked damage (As I’m new to the game) the snarky response was looks fine to me, you don’t have to buy if you don’t want to. I have always put up with their quirks as they are the local shop and I like to support local business but enough is enough. I’ll miss perusing there dusty old shelves full of dated products but there is always Amazon.
Very cool. It has so much stuff and one can even play rpg games in the back room. Definitely will go again.
Very nice place to go to! Crowd is real nice and fun to be around. Lived in Long Beach all my life. Always passed this place and decided to go in for once. Dont regret it.
Very knowledgeable Dungeons & Dragons
I dont know what the person below me is talking about. Ive been coming here for years and never once have I had trouble with any employee treating me snarky. The person below has left 1 star reviews for multiple long beach businesses so I wouldnt trust his word what so ever.A selfish review like that really hurts businesses like these, and if you truly had a bad experience you should have handled it then are there, opposed to writing a snarky review after.
Lovely collection and store as a whole.
Love this store! So glad I found it online. So worth the drive. The store is amazing. The young man when I called knew exactly what they had and super cordial. Highly recommend for visiting lLong Beach area or if your willing to venture out of the Los Angeles so worth it. 5 stars!
Great customer service and staff. Good place for board games and a great place for RPG and Wargaming.
Intense retail worker. Very abrupt personality. Felt uncomfortable honestly, But they had a great selection of games and discounted games.
Love this place, been coming for years. Have everything you need for tabletop gaming.
Cool people. I dont know a lot of game stores. People here seemed passionate about gaming. Not as big as store on Brookhurst in Garden Grove, but still had a good selection.
Very friendly service and gave me alternatives to what I needed when the specifics were not available
Lots of variety. Current stock and stock from their 40+ year history, but the store feels a bit claustrophobic and could use better organization. If youve got time to hunt, though, you might find a hidden gem. Friendly staff! Prices are consistent with list price, but dont compare with online options. These stores are becoming a rarity!
I came in with a friend to buy some card sleeves and the person who rung us up was so rude that I simply ended up leaving. Ive shopped here multiple times, but that was the worst experience Ive ever had at any LGS. I honestly think the guy was just trying to go back into the backroom and continue playing games with his buddies instead of answer our questions. I love supporting local businesses, but I dont ever plan to go back. They rolled the dice and it did not pass.
Great place to look for miniatures. They have a great selection and the staff is very helpful.
Left Cal. 25 yrs ago. This place still gives me fond memories of days of my youth. Say hello to Mr. Steve Lucky. Hes a good person.
Awesome store. They sell dragon ball super cards and also host tournaments. Would defintely recommend checking this place out.
So many miniatures! They also have a kind and helpful staff.
Havent been here in years, but the folks there (not all of them are employees) have a passion for games and adventure gaming. HUUUUUUUGE Selection on miniatures and environment set kits. Everything you need for table top RPGs...some of it dating back to the original D&D genre. Lots to find. Good guys.
Great selection of new and older games. Helpful staff with a very knowledgeable owner. Literally thousands of board games, role playing games, card games, dice games, miniature war games, miniatures, dice, and gaming accessories for all types of gamers. The store is packed wall to wall, a definite must go and see. Especially if you like to see and feel before purchasing. The staff is happy to let you shop, look, and feel without pressure to buy. There is also in-store gaming of all sorts nearly everyday. Pathfinder and D&D on the weekends (even into the night), as well as card games (Magic the Gathering, Pokemon, etc), Star Wars X-Wing, and Hero Clix during the week. It is very local for those in Long Beach and the South Bay areas. Of course, since it is only 2 blocks off the Long Beach Freeway, it is pretty accessible to anyone in L.A., Orange, or San Bernardino Counties in California. They also do mail order and have an Ebay store for those not in the area. I cannot say enough good things about this store. They have been in business since 1974!!!
The guy was great, the store is deceptively big - looks small outside but huge inside. If you are into war gaming they have everything from models, paints, terrain, books and basing materials to out of print and canceled models and games!
One of the best tabletop game stores.
This is the place to go! I started going here when I was in high school, same owner then as now! Love this store!!
It was okay. Felt like I had walked onto a set (think Goonies, Gremlins, or Stranger Things). A bit dusty and disheveled. If we had lots of time to rumage would have been fun. But we didnt.
I have played a lot of MtG games and played a great campaign of pathfinder run by the owner himself - they have models, books for lots of games, many many card games, and lots of people who show to play including some of the staff...Its by far the best place in Long Beach...Carson and Torrance I have seen
One of those old dusty game shops that has tons of stuff to rummage through. Great for table top gamers, lots of figures and books
Has a great selection of head to get stuff. Store has been around forever.
Great staff ( Dylan) and cool stuff all kinds of board games and model kits.
A nice, small shop, walk in for the first time and everyone was nice, theres this o e worker who talked to me and told me some awesome stories about D&D and some other games he played.
Had what I wanted, awsome selection of warhammer 40k. Picked up the new gothic city bundle
Went for Yugioh, players were inviting and fun to play.
Great staff and really helpful. Thanks!
An awesome old style game shop with a great selection and excellent staff. Discount selection of old stock in the back is my favorite part of the shop!
Just remembering my visit to The War House in 1990 or so. I bought my first set of dice there and remember that the back room was full during a D&D game. This will be a destination if ever I find myself in LA again.
They have a very large selection of miniatures and games. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Every time Ive been in there has been folks in the back playing their games as well.
Service was good. Owner very friendly. Wide variety of products, store is much longer than it initially seems
Pretty cool. Guy at counter knew his stuff and was really helpfull.
Support your local hobby shop!
Such a huge collection of miniatures, for lots of different games. And theyre surprisingly well organized
Great place to buy R.P.Gs and board games.
Great selection of board and dice games. Also fun hosted games
Its a cool store, they arent that many like this, so you better go before you die.
I always stop in when I’m in Long Beach. A treasure trove of older, hard to find miniatures.
Great store with all your TCG, Miniatures, and board gaming needs!
One of the last Dusty old game shops*.
If youre a wargamer or roleplayer this place is worth a visit. Lots of classic games & a wide selection.
They have a very wide selection of gaming books and not just the standard D&D that most stores only carry.
Decent service and answered the many questions posed to the counter clerk. Overall good selection but elevated pricing.
Friendly help and you can find games and gaming supplies here that you cant find anywhere else?
Lots of stuff + older stuff. Not enough time!
Good selection of models and paints for a variety of board games
Fun game store with a game room. Magic, D&D, and more.
Place really needs a makeover over. Staff was more interested in playing games than anything else.
Best place to find what you need !!!
Love this spot!!!
This place has so much of a selection!! Its a must go and check out!!
Great first rate exp.
Good selection on Pathfinder and D&D Books
