Wow, they have so many games there, and the salesman could tell us about each game. I loved the variety, and commentary he would give us, to help you choose the best games to buy. Some prices comparable to Amazon, so it's nice that you get the live review before buying.

Pulled up in my Google search for "war games". Saw reviews that talked about strategy games. When I went there, I discovered it really had nothing to do with war games (military gaming such as games from Compass Games, GMT, or any manufacturer of military strategy games) and was just another roleplaying and generic strategy game store. Not their fault, but a waste of my time.

Great service, the employees were great. I got started getting into painting dnd mintures and I only new the basics. The employees helped me and told me what I should and shouldn't do while painting and recommended me paints. If your looking for small business that cares a lot, this is your place

Hands down best game shop in San Mateo county! Can't be beat and the employees are honestly some of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. Amazing place and if you can buy your games here instead of online to support local businesses, and keep amazing places like this open.

I've dropped in a few times to check out my "Friendly Local Game Store". I am glad that there is one that is nearby. I really only play board games so this is my perspective: Pros: +I called in and made a request for a game and the store clerk put in the request and the order came in and they made multiple attempts to call me that the game was ready for pick up. Tangent: This is so much better than my experience that I've had with Game Kastle which never filled my order after 6+ months that I couldn't even get a refund anymore, only store credit - I even emailed the game publisher/designer who said that the game should have been in stock. +They have board games, card games, war games, miniature supplies, card supplies. +It's off of El Camino Real and the parking is convenient. There are some restaurants and a grocery nearby so you can do some errands on the way. +There is a gaming table where people are often playing something. I can see that there are regulars and that this location provides a space for them. Cons: (-) There is a gaming table at the front of the store surrounded by merchandise which makes it difficult and awkward to shop for games. (-) There is some organization to the games but it's kind of a mess - like shopping at Ross, but without the markdowns. There were some games that were on sale, like used games but the prices weren't spectacular. (-) While there is a gaming table, the store space is small. Unlike Game Kastle, there isn't available seating or an open gaming area. I'd like to do meet-ups, but I would never suggest meeting here unfortunately. Because the store is filled with so much stuff it feels small; it's claustrophobic. And sometimes there's a whiff of you-know-what - my husband refuses to go into the store. ...But it's the local store and they provide a service and they create a space for some people, just not as wide a range of people who would want to come here. So it hurts me to leave a 3/5 review, because I really do like supporting small businesses, but I think there is room for improvement, just maybe not literally. IE maybe they can just have a catalog out in front and the game is stored in the back and pulled out only when someone requests it, like a Service Merchandise store model - anyone remember that? As of right now, it's such a mess and so crowded, only the bravest of shoppers will spend the time shopping.

This is the best place for purchasing cards entering tournaments and meeting new people, and the employees are very friendly and considered.

This review is based on the recent release to game stores for Disney Lorcana. For some reason, the store management has decided to sell the products for "market price" which is basically what items are currently selling for on eBay from Gen Con attendees several weeks ago. Gator Games has taken this privilege of receiving this highly anticipated game and exploited us gamers with ridiculously high prices. For instance, the ILumineers trove retails for $50. They are selling it for $175 because they say "that is what is currently going for on eBay." The reason the price on eBay is high is because the people at GenCon got an early release and are trying to make the money back for going to the convention. This product was released tot game stores early so that they could actually sell the product to hard-core gamers like myself before it goes to full retail at target, Walmart, Best Buy, etc. on September 1. Selling it for "market price" is basically being a scalper, and it pisses me off more than you can imagine.

This wasn't what I expected. They don't sell video games. They sell board games and card games. Also nobody acknowledged that I exist, so I left.

"I'm sorry, is the fact that my life's falling apart interrupting your board game?" -- The Big Bang Theory, Season 7, Episode 17What a great game shop! The staff is super friendly and knows just about everything about every board game - if I don't know what to buy, they are great at directing me to something great. Also, if they don't have something in stock, they are happy to order it for me. My nephew is a huge Munchkin fan, and this is where I go to get all the expansion sets, trinkets, etc. to expand on what he already had - again, they are great and helping me pick out the best options for him (he's 10).I typically need a chaperone to walk in this store, or I will spend my entire paycheck in just an hour wandering around the place. If you love games, this is the place to go!Play more games!
