  The vibe is genuinely friendly and welcoming from the owners--which is a major point in its favor for a queer/trans person like me. I've only been here a few times for Magic events, but each one has been positive. There's an interesting variety of events and products, from Pokémon to Gundam to games I've never heard of. The bathroom is clean, and there's a pretty good pizza place out front as a bonus. :D

  A little hard to find, but worth the search. Thomas was very helpful answering all my questions. He had booster boxes reasonably priced which were sold out throughout the county. No scalping here. Decent snacks and drinks selection. Spacious gaming area and two very clean restrooms. Totally recommend!

  Great local shop for card players and collectors in south bay! Had an amazing time playing at a local gundam card game event and the guys running the show were awesome. Very fair when it comes to tournaments and prizes. Will be coming here regularly and looking forward to it for years to come!

  Excellent hobby shop that has Pokemon, Mtg, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh, Board Games, Gaming Accessories and more. They run organized play in a large, clean, air-conditioned game room next to the store. Tabletop Tavern is located behind the little strip mall off of E Reinstra. Diamond in the rough for sure !

  Great board and card game store. Super friendly staff, and super friendly store dog. A wide range of card and board games, accessories, and always willing to order what they don’t have.
