Paladins Game Castle is such a great place, and it is definitely is a hidden treasure in…read moreBakersfield. It offers a variety of boardgame and cardgame activities such as early-release events, tournaments, and how-to-play sessions. I believe it's the only place in Bakersfield other than Target where you can purchase the Cards Against Humanity game. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable of all of the games. Paladins Game Castle even visited the school I work at to host a Game Tournament Event for Pokemon and Yugioh. They have a wide variety of things they offer like card sleeves, cards, pro-binders, boardgames, figure paints, plushies, and dice. They also sell Game of Thrones Card Sleeves and Game of Thrones mats. Those things aren't available to Bakersfield unless you order them online. I've only competed in the Yugioh tournaments, and the store always maintains a friendly atmosphere. The tournaments are organized by numbering specific tables and assigning players to each table. During the tournaments, when contestants aren't competing, they are welcome to trade cards with each other. PGC just asks that their customers do not sell or buy cards from each other because it hurts their business. Overall, I've really grown to love this place, and I refuse to buy most of my card stuff online because I'd rather buy stuff from PGC to support a local business.

He even invited me to their release nights, where they hold stock for players--a cool way to make sure regulars can grab cards. Definitely felt like a welcoming shop with a community vibe.

Yes, this Vendor has many packs of different sets to choose from, but what is the point when you overprice them? No more MSRP excuse, kids should be able to collect and play too. But that won't happen anytime soon if you keep up with the high prices. I'll add photos later to the review when I get the chance to show what I am talking about, but until then, whoever is reading, please take a look and see what I mean.

They've also got a ton of binders to flip through, plus a solid selection of slabs and singles behind the counter. It's not just Pokémon either--they carry Magic and other TCGs too. I came back the next day and Cruz helped me out, and Dominique (the owner) overheard I was new--she surprised me with some code cards and stickers. Just really kind people and a welcoming vibe. Definitely the kind of shop that makes you want to come back. Very fair pricing!

The owner keeps the expenses low by running it from his house, but he offers a level of service that is so good, it is worth setting up an appointment. His subscriber rate is 25% last I checked, which kinda beats the industry standard. The potential pitfalls here are that there is no way to see what he got in this week, so you are kinda left up to your own to find out what you want and tell him before he makes his initial order. Other than that, it is great if you are the kind of person that knows what they want, and just want to go and grab your stuff.
