The service is fantastic, and the staff is always ready to recommend the latest and greatest board games. The quality of their board game selection is top-notch, with a wide variety to choose from. What's even more impressive is the value; their prices are competitive, and I always leave with a new game that brings hours of fun. This shop is a board gamer's paradise!

Paul Rumohr: Edit- The new location on 900 W Alameda in Burbank is mind blowing. There's nothing else like it on the West Coast, and this maybe the best, most sophisticated board gaming store as of May 2024.Best game store in Los Angeles!

Ryan Anzaldi: This was really a magical place that I'm so glad to have stumbled upon during my search for the latest "Magic: The Gathering" release.Well before entering, it's clear that you're about to be among friends. Welcomed by a life size TARDIS outside the main doors, I was already grinning before I stepped inside. But the real show starts once you walk in, and only gets better as you continue to explore the building.I understand they're moving soon, to a larger building, so if you want to experience what I did, make your way there soon!Once you enter, you're greeted on your left by the friendly staff behind the counter, eager to inform and aid the stream of gamers coming and going. On your right, several windows give view to a room made out to look like a medieval dungeon; the perfect spot to pray for Nat 20s as you adventure through the forgotten realms.Continuing through, a lively noise begins to pick up as you realize how many excited gamers have come to play. Countless tables, filled with all sorts of different games, are occupied by exuberant gamers, surrounded by walls painted with fanciful murals, and decorated with a host of medieval swords and shields. Adding to the aesthetic are a host of fun obscure items, ranging from small tables arranged with gaming materials, to a life-size Dalek positioned in the center of the first floor."This place is great!", I commented to a man selling me a booster pack, "I love all the gaming rooms!""Thanks!", he replied, "Did you see the one in the back?"My eyes widened. There was more to behold?!? True to his word, the gentleman pointed me down a hallway, where even more gamers played the hours away in a comfortable, inviting store that I can't wait to return to.

Sarkis Grigorian: I’ve been going here for a few years now. Always a great stop for games, sleeves and much more. Highly recommend going here for any of your gaming needs. Also, they make fantastic recommendations for games and are always happy to help you find what would best fit you and your gaming group.

Jessie Pomegranate: I felt so safe and at home here and every one of the staff has my whole heart and gratitude. Scott shared with us his favorite dice and gave us a tour of the place and made us feel so very welcome!! I did not catch the name of the very kind tall person who also works there, but they helped us pick out games that were specific to what we were looking to experience. I love this place so much I cannot say enough about it. Thank y’all for the safe space 3
