Review №1

This place is my go to place for everything . It is smaller then most stores. But the product packs a punch. From the retro games that I get to new. I always had a great deal. Really added allot to my collection. When it comes to cards. I sold my magic cards here and they gave me way more then I priced. They offered me a fair price and when it comes to budgeting the worth of something. They explained and communicated really nicely.When it comes to customer service. I am a very anti social guy but every employee greets me very openly and by name. In this store. I feel very comfortable communicating. Customer service is always good and always fair. I read the reviews and I can not see them doing anything less then 5 stars.I will keep coming in for my games and final Fantasy cards. I appreciate everyone who works in this store.

Absolutely love this store. Its always very clean and organized, and their selection is great. They also have a kiosk to search for various cards which is super helpful if youre hoping for specifics. Well priced and great quality. The owners are also super nice and, if youre there enough, remember your face.

This is a great place to come for cards or games. I always find something I didnt know I was looking for when I come in. The owners are very nice and always help me find what Im looking for. The store is always very clean and organized which is hard to find in game stores. This is definitely a 5 out of 5 star place if you havent checked it out yet, you should find some time to check it out.

Friendly store owner who would do anything to keep his regular, loyal customers happy. I havent actually shopped here, but I was a regular at his old store in a different city. Support your friendly LGS whenever you can. Sure, it might cost a little bit more than big-name online retailers, but hes just trying to provide for his family while providing a place to buy and play games. Love and miss ya brother. Hasnt been the same since you left. I hope your current location is treating you well.

Excellent selection of Magic the Gathering packs and singles, lots of Pokemon cards too. They have tons of retro games and systems, as well as retro accessories. Board games too. Great customer service, theyre very knowledgeable in whatever gaming questions you might have.

This store is where its at! Zech and his family run a lovely shop right near my work that I frequent for my MTG and gaming needs. I love the card search kiosk!It is always fun to stop by and see his passion for gaming passed along in the form of a family friendly gaming environment. Zech is no slouch when it comes to MTG either, he always has great insight to help with a deck or new strategy.10/10 would visit again.

This is by far the best lgs (local game store) in the area. I personally have no trouble traveling to go to a lgs and see what they have. Zech and his family have always been extremely kind and welcoming to me and my kid when we come. Whether Im coming in for pokemon with my kid or Magic for myself the conversations are always pleasant. Not to mention his video selection always seems to have the game I come in looking for!This store was definitely a pleasant addition to the Tacoma/UP area

They dont have anything special unless you just want to support local business. But thats hard to do considering how rude they are.

Terrible customer service. They also to not allow individuals with medical issues to come in without a mask which then state if Washington does. Stand for freedom and boycott.

Great store. Fair trade in value, good selection. MTG cards are all mostly around TCG player prices. Excellent customer service. My Favorite LGS in Tacoma.

Huge fan of this store. Always has a great rolling selection of games and accessories. The owner Zech always has been immensely helpful in recommendations for new games to buy as Im building out my collections. Would give this review more than 5 stars if I could!!

Went in to check out their YuGiOh selection and they only had about two booster boxes and they were about $5 a pack. You can the same ones for $3.50 a couples blocks away!!The women at the counter rudely said so you are a YuGiOh player I assume.Overpriced, Rude employees, and its in a dodgy area.

Zach was an angel! Sweetest guy ever! I had old dreamcast games to trade. I was trying to get money for my wifes anniversary present. After tearing up a little, because it was a big day and Zach seemed like he was going to help, Zach told me the amount they would give me. It was more than I deserved or expected, enough to make me sob like a baby in the car afterwards. Zach saved the day.I know I might have made more via Ebay, but not by much after fees, shipping, and packaging. Instead of days of making posts and packaging and shipping, I was out the door with a check for a great amount in 20 minutes. Champagne, live crab, guitar, fondue kit, groceries, gifts, chocolates and decorations were all affordable with the funds here. Which is odd since a pawn store I went to minutes before offered me $0.50 per game for a total of $7. This place gave me over half a grand... So if you want to make a great choice, support this business!!!Thanks Zach!!!!

Theres a small selection of retro video games, a couple consoles, a lot of Magic the Gathering cards, a decent selection of popular board games, and a few arcade games (some of which are out of order, but are clearly marked). I buy a lot of retro video game accessories and what I got here is fair market price. Im pretty happy to see a shop like this finally in town.

I play magic the gathering here regularly. The staff are kind and knowledgeable. If you are looking for a card they have a digital que to see if they have it in stock. Its a little hard to find but the should be plenty of parking do to so many shops in the same area. Its also close to a bus station.

Small but cozy. Great selection of MTG cards. As well as a fantastic and reasonably priced dice, play mats, sleeves and card accessories. Glad I popped in and got some dice for my new DND campaign! Will have to check out their MTG game nights. Glad they moved into the neighborhood!!
