“Dark Side Games is a decent spot for local game enthusiasts! They have a surprising selection of D&D and Warhammer items and supplies - as well as MTG packs and specialty single cards along with other game supplies.

They have two separate areas with gaming tables - a smaller section in the front near the entrance and a larger section in the back with a bit more decor and ambiance. They hold weekly structured MTG meetups and for other games as well (for a small fee) and their event schedule is easily accessed on their website.

We came in with my son in search of MTG cards and had fun browsing their selection. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Prices were on par with other gaming stories in the area. Store and play areas were clean with some interesting custom decor items.

They’re located in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking. Would be a great place to host your own card gaming sessions or join an established local specialty card gaming community!”

“Out of towner who visited for an event. The store has two very different halves. First, the game space was more spacious than normal but had the normal game store "things stacked everywhere" vibe that you either love or hate. The second half was the store portion, which had an above average selection without having too much. Ever walk into a game store with so many games you just don't know if any of them are any good? Not that here. The selection is that appropriate balance of curated and broad. Appreciate the stores willingness to host events and keep the hobbies alive, and for that alone I'd never give less than 5 stars.”

“Tons of parking!!! I went in today just to browse and ended up making a large purchase. Lol. Unfortunately, I didnt get the cashiers name nor is it on my receipt but her customer service was impeccable. Its not something that can be taught and it flowed naturally. I work in customer service and would like her to be part of our team. :) Went in 3/15 around 10:40”

“Every worker here has their own bubbly personality and I love it!! They’re always helpful even when things get a bit complicated. They’re always on point with mobile orders, and the store always looks amazing. They have self check out too!

I frequently shop for yarn, and I don’t think they restock too often. So I recommend checking their app if they have what you’re looking for in stock, it’s usually 90% correct. There’s also coupons you can use all the time.

I just always have issues with returns. And it’s none of the workers faults, of course. I’ve had a few returns with purchases on debit/credit cards, that I haven’t gotten refunds from yet. I’ve called and been told to wait “7-10 business days” but it’s been months, and I’m sure there’s nothing I can do about it now. I’m probably just going to opt for using cash to be safe.

I placed an online order today to use a gift card, and had 17¢ left over, so I used my credit card. And I later found out my gift card was never charged, but my credit card was charged for the entire order. I got an email for my refund of my gift card. I’m sure I typed in everything correctly, otherwise it wouldn’t have been placed. Pretty annoying, but oh well. I come here often anyway.

But I love this store, it’s my go to craft store. I prefer this location over any other ones nearby”

“I took my childhood toy that I received as a gift 64 years ago for repairs. Owner Charlene was such a joy to meet and her knowledge of vintage dolls was phenomenal and the selection of Dolls for sale is vast.Charlene and her team did such a outstanding repair on my toy ( Stuffed Animal) and was able to match perfectly some of the fabric. I am so thankful my toy was able to be restored. I highly recommend Dee's dolls. Thank you Charlene and your team ?”

“Super cool shop! I was here for an unrelated event, but I ended up talking to the shop owner about anime and virtual YouTubers for a good chunk of time.

He introduced me to Weiß Schwarz and after buying a couple booster packs, I pulled a couple of cards with my favorite characters.

The vibe of the shop was quite friendly and inviting; some people were playing a fighting game on a PS5, others were playing trading card games. There was plenty of A/C, so it's a cool spot to hangout with friends.

I would definitely come back to the shop even though it's out of my way to travel here!”

“From what I can see walking in this shop was definitely affected by the pandemic. It's incredibly frustrating to see a great set up for this card shop and rarely anyone to stop by. I was greeted by the owner and he was very polite and friendly. Being a vanguard player also means that there are not too many card shops that do or even sell Vanguard. So to meet a card shop owner who actually plays and sells the game that they are selling just blew me away. It sucks that really no one knows about this place. It's a great set up, they have a great selection of card supplies and vanguard sets and the owner is extremely kind and fun. I want more people who play Vanguard to know about such a great place.”

“I want to thank Domino City. My son was diagnosed with Leukemia, on January 11th and this is the one thing that put a smile on his face. I know nothing about pokemon as a father and the person directed me to get what was best for my son. He also gave me an extra pack. Which means a lot. Thank you”

“Amazing staff!! They went above and beyond helping me put an order in for some Mario plush and finding a plush on their website that I thought was sold lol. They went as far as even giving me a phone call. Also very fast shipping. They arrived in two days and packaged with care with paper tags all in mint condition. Thanks so much Neko’s. I definitely will be ordering again from you and will be watching your website for any new Mario Plush I may need to add to my collection.”

“I enjoyed my time there. Drove out from Pomona to La Puente for Speed Duels. I think it's really only Yu-Gi-Oh. Didn't see Magic or any other card game. Plenty of places to eat. Had a good selection of latest packs and different structure decks. Even old ones.”

“This Gamestop is AWESOME! Compared to Hawai'i, the workers here are awesome especially Anthony! He remembered one of my co-worker's name since he is a regular and he even remembered my name — this shows how much the workers here care for their job and love what they're doing! Keep up the wonderful work, Anthony!”
