Went in looking for a couple of things, first off though an employee that works there kinda sped ahead in order to get front and center parking. Chill dude, I hadnt even seen the spot but good job I guess?Anyway, there was still other parking in the next aisle or whatever so that was fine. I went in and was greeted by an employee pricing items.Headed over to the shelf where the books I needed were. Only found 1 which I already have. Thats fine Ill just look in another store.I decided since I was there I would pick up some miniatures. I looked through the whole store twice (the second time because after not finding what I was looking for the first time, I wondered if maybe they had some other ones that would suffice.), but realized maybe they didnt have what I needed.This whole time truck dude and some other guy were just talking about stuff. I was there for about 30 min. As I was headed out t.d. did ask if I needed help but I had already looked pretty much everywhere, so maybe I couldve asked but maybe I couldve been asked earlier.I wasnt gonna post a review but my friend urged that I did since it was a bad experience.
Always has a good selection of products, at a price.Do some shopping around, you may be able to find your product cheaper at another store. But this place usually has the product in stock.
At Ease Games is the absolute, second to none, best gaming store Ive ever been to in the U.S.A. I was curious when I first stepped in through the doors at their old location and fell in love with their games workshop supply and I would browse for over an hour until I was ready to leave. The place always felt like a oasis after a hard week at work. I make it a point to revisit every year and it has only gotten better after each and every year since Ive been going in 2014.
One of the best board game stores in the San Diego area. Fantastic selection for beginner to hardcore gamers. Knowledgeable staff that can steer you in the right direction if you’re on the fence about anything.
Pricing, Selection, and Atmosphere are outstanding. The pricing is very competitive with Amazon. They have a huge selection of most hobbies - Warhammer, Star Wars, MtG, Pokémon, Board Games, Dice, TTRPG. It is impressive.The store is clean and organized. I love spending time here browsing, whether me or with my kids.Finally they have huge play areas and tables. It is a dream of a hobby store.
Most people who give low ratings don’t play DnD or TCG Games
Very good pricing even better than Amazon! Helpful staff. Helped me get into warhammer 40k
They didnt have basic land cards to sell me. Mind blown
Great variety of games. But they upsell like some mother fudgers. The set booster box for strixhaven magic the gathering is 180 here. And at t.c. rockets its 125...
WARNING!!!!Purchased 2 Alakazam V boxes both of which were tampered with. Both boxes showed signs of box re-gluing and pack re-sealing. would not recommend shop for purchasing card products. one of the staff that handed me the boxes seemed a bit off definitely not friendly. cashier was nice tho, but it doesnt make up for the tampered boxes.
Cool place to find your favorite board game, staff was helpful.
I have traveled to Games Empire (SD), Games Odyssey (Pasadena), Warp Rider Games (SD), Claremonts Gamesworkshop (SD) and I plan to explore more stores. At Ease Gaming takes the cake thus far by far! I was well pleased with the widely spaced isles and the amount of miniatures and other board games present was impressive. Their miniature focus seems to be GW focused (40k & AoS) however there is a reasonably even amount of many other games such as Star wars Legion, Conquest, Bolt Action, Marvel Crisis, Dungeons and Dragons and further more I cannot recall because there is simply so much! The employees are genuine hobbyists themselves like most shoppers visiting the store which always leads to great conversations for nearly whatever topic you can think of. The shop itself feels real clean and profession in all aspects. It is so far the only game store Ive returned to for the 8th time now and Im not local...in fact 120 miles away which only further voices my praises for the place. 🙂
Best tabletop gaming store in town
Yup... this place is hands down my go to for TTRPG related stuff, I have only had positive experiences here and felt like I was talking to a fellow gamer and not a game store employee.
Friendly staff that is genuinely enthusiastic to assist you because they literally share your interests. Not just store clerks, theyre fellow players, who have an investment in being knowledgeable about their merchandise. Well rehearsed and up-to-date information about the current (and future) releases or changes to your games of choice.The most comprehensive stock of Warhammer40K miniatures that Ive yet to find in another brick and mortar store. Regular inventory rotation has proven them a reliable source for new models, as I seemingly find new models displayed each week.
Excellent game store. The people who run it love games, are knowledgeable about their stock, and work to foster a positive attitude in the store.If there is anything negative to say about it, the place is a victim of its own success. It moved in January of 2014 from a much smaller location to the current location. Within a year, it was absolutely packed on some nights, especially Wednesday nights. This is a testament to the owners and staff, and they could easily another 25% of gaming space some nights if they had it.It is a great place and well worth a visit.
I was in town for only one night and looked for a game shop having any events. This place has a great, friendly group of awesome people there. Thank you!
I come here regularly and never had any issues. This is by far my favorite place to play board games. When I first went, there was lots of room to play various games. Now they are working on expanding as well. The selection of games for sale is very good too. The owner and crew are great.
Really cool store! Im definitely a newbie to games like magic the gathering. The staff there is super friendly and helped me a lot in getting the best products for me at the best price. Very friendly to gamers and non gamers alike. Cool board games if you arent into tabletop games or card games. Definitely coming back here.
There is one KG and there but other than that the rest are boring and slow. I used the three strikes and you’re out system. Don’t make the same mistakes I did save your Wednesday night for literally anything else.
Great store, very nice and friendly staff. We are so happy to find this store. My son loves his magic cards and has fun with it!
Came across the store organically and had to stop in on a Saturday just before noon. The store had a nice crowd as they were having a tournament in the back of the store; very cool atmosphere and Hadrian was our cashier. Really impressed with how clean the store was and the nice variety of products on hand. Really wish we had a store like this in Chandler, AZ!
Great customer service, Amazing people and ron, the owner, goes above and beyond to accommodate all types of gamers from AoS to Magic.
They had a exquisite collection, helpful employees, and the customers were all incredibly kind. You have no idea. They would help you around the store, give you their spot in line, and this random guy in front of me gave me his spot and paid for my full (rather expensive) purchase! I will be shopping there again. Thanks, At Ease!
Small selection of craft beer and plenty of tables suitable for board games. Its an added bonus that its adjacent to and shares a door with a game shop that sells pieces for games like Warhammer and the like. A solid choice for game night with your friends.
This is a large store with a huge selection of tabletop board games, card games and miniature paints. This place is fantastic and is worth checking out if you are into tabletop games, or are just curious!There are lots of tables for tournaments and they have a calendar with dates of specific events and tournaments that are hosted by this store. The customer service is great as well!
I visited this evening for the first time as an out of town visitor. What a great store! I was mostly looking for specific cards for the game Magic the Gathering. Not only did they have single cards organized by card set, but in my specific case they had already pulled all the cards for the tribe I was interested in collecting! Prices were more than reasonable. No issues with smell (yes, the stereotype can be true sometimes) and the layout is open and well decorated. The recent addition of the pub next door with an inside entrance between the two is just over the top in my opinion.I am quite proud of my friendly little game store back home, but I have to admit a little jealousy when I stepped into this place.Michael BarnettJune 27th, 2017
Great staff! Huge selection of warhammer, D&D, board games, and various TCG and TCG supplies! They have a whole room in the back dedicated to tables and gaming space!
Definitely the best game store in San Diego! They have a great variety of products and if you are looking for something they do not have, theyll order it for you. They also hold events regularly so their is always something to participate in. Make sure to check them out!
I came here to look and maybe buy a new board game, but left empty handed. The shelves are bit hard to look through and the games are priced higher than they are on Amazon. I was also looking for a specific game and was unable to find. That being said there was a good selection of games and plenty of tables for people to play. Even at 9pm there was a good crowd playing there.
One of a kind place in San Diego where you have a huge space for any board/card/tabletop game and a wide selection of craft beer connected to the same building. Fantastic place to meet up with friends or strangers for hours of gaming
Played MTG draft here. Called Judge for ruling. Opponent flipped up and threw cards at my face and said concede. I threw cards back at him and we both were asked to leave. I sit outside, management comes over with bluff of owning entire shopping complex and threatens me calling property management for private property control. I understood his concern and simply asked for equal human being treatment. I then offered to make the other guy to leave the store first which he immediately refuses. I waste one hour outside. Even after one hour, does nothing about it.
Seems like a pretty happening place! When I stopped by there was a sanctioned Magic tournament going on. Their selection of sealed decks was pretty slim, but it may just because theyre moving lots of product...
Great place to buy games, play games and drink beer! They can offer great gaming advice and have everything from board games to card games and miniatures. Plus an amazing play space!
The staff and the facility itself are wonderful, Super nice and incredibly helpful. Unfortunately the policies concerning their store credit and prize structure for MTG have changed wildly and rust really hurt my overall experience.If youre just coming to hang out or purchase product, this place is just fine, but if youre looking for good tournaments and decent prizes, go elsewhere. Dixon and the crew are dedicated and pleasant, and have done all they can to help the MTG community, but... :/
Great ENORMOUS store. If you play any kind of game they probably have it. Great service, military discount 10%, very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.
Played a Modern FNM and they reported my match wrong so I didnt get prize support I deserved. Staff was very rude and not helpful at all.
The best overall game store experience. Product selection is not as good as other stores but gaming area is by far the largest and cleanest. Reward point system is nice and the staff seems knowledgable about most things in the store. Tournaments run out of AEG are well organized and often, and a calendar is posted in the play area for ease of finding game events. They also have a growing library of house games for in store play for those who want to test drive a game before purchase. All-in-all a great place to hang out and enjoy yourself. They also have a bathroom but it is quite small.
Super friendly staff huge selection of miniatures and other board games large game room
A pretty average game store. Staff ranges from genuinely friendly to apathetic and sarcastic. The affiliated bar next door is ok but needs better food options. The play space is really nice and clean. The selection of boardgames is one of the worst in the county and seems to to decline every time I visit.
Nice, friendly and highly knowledgable staff with plenty of tables and lots of space. The game selection is to die for with every type of game represented! They have books, manuals, figures, board games, card games, RPG games, table top games, etc... I felt as if I could have spent all day just reading each game title.The prices are pretty good with a bonus if you get their five star card that sends you text coupons for up to 20% off. 20% off!!!! This is awesome and Ive taken advantage of it a number of times. Plus the more you buy and the more times you visit you earn points that give you more discounts!Just a great place all around!
Fantastic staff and a very comprehensive inventory. Plenty of tables for games. Tournaments are well-organized and the crowd is overwhelmingly good-natured.
Great place to play Magic in San Diego, especially for Modern. Players are friendly, atmosphere is light, and its connected to a great local brewery next door.
Super friendly staff that encourages friendly customers and heavily discourages the unfriendly ones from coming back. Great atmosphere, great events, great selection of games, and lots and lots of table space in the back. Best card/game store Ive experienced.
You can find tables full of people playing DnD, magic, age of sigmar, 40k, and other games. They have friendly service and a large selection of board games/card games.
This place is amaze nuts! Very clean, well lit, and plenty of room. People are friendly and the staff courteous. Plenty of events throughout the week. Hands down my go to place for Magic the Gathering events in San Diego.
The customer service sucked....karli... Sucked brought my kids in to get an easy 120$ order of cards & two other friends & just made us feel like a nobody... Not cool. try to rush our order ... And we even drove down from Vista...thanks Karli for ruining our experience.... U suck...
Great people to talk to and learn from some nights the tournaments are fun to watch they have a lot of games for sell and game merchandise
Awesome combination of beer and games. Love coming here for casual gaming
Amazing store. Great LGS that is willing to help out in all your gaming needs. Frequently holding tournaments and events. Drop on by.
Love this place. Great staff, good games, and a wonderful community that they’ve grown around them.
I thought the store was great, but since Barrel Harbor moved in next door, this place gets a lot more of my business. Place is great, staff are great.
I have been to a lot of gaming stores all over the United States if you love board games do not miss going to the store it has marble tables to play on nice clean bathrooms awesome gamers and they support every type of table top and card game imaginable great place great staff even if you dont board game you should check this store out
Good selection of games, great amount of space to play them, horrible employees. Definitely dont expect getting the FLGS treatment here. This is strictly an LGS. Employees act like youre annoying them when being asked questions. Im extremely easy to please so its rare that I have problems with employees anywhere. These guys take poor service to new horizons.
Amazing place for all things gaming. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. This place has it all.
Very small amount of board games, and very bad attention from the owners
Fun spot to go and play top notch board games and table top games. Would recommend the place to anyone
Im a frequent visitor here and the staff are really friendly. I recently started MtG and it looks like my first FNM will be here.
A quality game store. Board game shelves are a little tight and disorganized. Huge open gaming area with a knowledgeable staff and plenty of demos. If you are a magic player, this place is heaven. Could use a customer hygeine policy.
Very helpful staff and an awesome selection of games!
Awesome night at Adventure LeagueTrevor Murphy great gmStore was professional
Awesome place with nice people. Definitely a game shop to checkout.
I absolutely love this place. Where do I begin?The stores selection is formidable. Honestly they do a very good job with the space they have to carry a wide variety and sufficient supply of games while not over-crowding the store as well. Also, if theres every anything they dont have in stock, they are more than willing to order it for you and give you a phone call when it comes in.The atmosphere is friendly and inviting. There are several game tables, some specifically for warhammer and the like, and several folding tables in the back. Whenever Ive gone into the store, there are people of all ages. The display case on the side showcases some of the models their resident model painting guy has done, and they are simply amazing.The prices are MSRP for whatever theyve got. I cant imagine it being very easy to keep a game store in business. Ive never seen anything on sale but with the way Ive been treated every time I come in, I want to pay retail price if only just to support this place.The staff are warm, welcoming, friendly, helpful, patient, and just plain cool. There have been times when Ive come in and asked if my D&D group could borrow a table for a few hours, as long as theyre not already being used for an event, and theyve been very kind and gone so far as to even help set up a good space. Ive ordered two gaming mats, I just put down my name and number, and when the mats arrived, I received a friendly phone call, and I came to pick them up. Theyre just nice and super friendly. I like to think myself observant, and Ive noticed them treat other customers with the same courtesy whether they end up buying anything or not. Please be good to them when you visit the store!All in all, Ive had nothing but good experiences with At Ease Games. True, its usually cheaper to go online, but good game stores are few and far between, and At Ease deserves our support!
Gaming tables, lots of games, friendly service. Five Stars awards program. Lots to like here.
Nice air conditioning, a good number of tables, wall of magic the gathering and area for dawn of war. Service was good and a large selection of board games, card games and miniatures.
Great atmosphere. Things ran smoothly.
It is very fun to play MTG drafts on the store, particularly on Wednesday nights.Good crowd.
Lots of games, knowledgeable staff, multiple brands of paint, play tables, and it is connected to a bar. What more could you want??
Lots of space! Great place to play Magic the Gathering!
A great place, employees are all helpful, and the FNMs are amazing. The only downside are the sell prices, which are 50% card value and in store credit only
No trouble finding an open table to game. The barstaff were super cool, and the other patrons were respectful
Great place for games. Friendly atmosphere
Can I leave zero stars? The owner is piece of work. He cheated his former business partner, hell rip you off too! Ask him to tell you the truth about why the bar isnt there anymore.
Decent supply of materials for all kinds of gaming but very rude female staff member that tried to put me in check about my service animal.
Great place to find stuff but a little pricey
Beer and games? What? Yes. This gamestore is attached to a bar with plenty of tables for games, whether its warhammer, D&D, X-wing, MTG, or any of the hundreds of boardgames, there is plenty space to play your favorites with friends with a pint in your hand!
Great open gaming area with large tables and comfortable chairs.
Great Staff, great facilities, great product selection. THE PLACE for gaming in San Diego!!!
Decent range.. friendly staff.
Not the most inviting environment.
