Out of all the game stores in Orange County I've visited, Dice House Games is undoubtedly the best one by miles. As a DM for D&D and (thanks to this store) newly a Warhammer player, I can speak to the fact that this store's selection for both games surpasses in quality, quantity, and presentation most other game stores in the area. Their restocks are frequent(seemingly weekly) and always introduce new product, which makes the trip there a no brainer if you live in the area and worth the time if you live farther. The owner is friendly, knowledgeable about his stuff, and truly embodies the vibe of a FLGS -- top notch customer service, a welcoming environment, giving advice where needed and genuinely caring about the quality of your experience with whatever hobby you choose without being pushy. The selection is amazing, and I always look forward to coming here purely because of the amount of quality product. Miniatures of all scale and need are neatly stocked on racks that appeal well to the eye, and they're not afraid to try new product styles. I've always been intrigued about D&D prepainted booster boxes online, but typically the ones I find at other stores are older or more beat up, but here, they're the newest, fresh-off-the-line boxes, and I just had to get some. The owner is very receptive to requests, and at checkout, has asked numerous times what I'd like to see or what I'd want to have stocked myself, which is amazing and has definitely as a whole fostered a loyal relationship with me and this store. The pre-order system is also very nice, offering discounts from MSRP with good communication and a fantastic one-man customer service model that accommodates requests very well and corresponds effectively with consumers. I am tremendously glad to have found a gem of a store so close to home and am long overdue for this review, and hope that this game store continues to keep their friendly vibe and expand to bigger and better things. I will no doubt be back here(many times, at that)! read more

Absolutely one of the best hobby stores I've ever visited. The store is clean, super organized, and easy to browse. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely helpful without being pushy. Their pricing is fantastic, and I love that every item shows both MSRP and the store price. It makes shopping feel really transparent and fair. They're also happy to special order items they don't currently have in stock if they can, which is a huge plus. I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend stopping by if you're into hobbies or collectibles. read more

First off all, WOW! The massive collection of board games, Warhammer and D&D miniatures was incredible; the biggest collection i have seen in a collectors shop. I picked up 6 miniatures packs (12 characters) for a super low price of only $35. The manager gave me a military discount and was excited to tell me about some of his favorite games. I will definitely be back when my campaign evolves and I need more miniatures. read more

My husband and I came into town for a few days and randomly found this shop. It is an awesome shop with tons of tabletop game options and more. Met the owner, Tuan. Super cool and knowledgeable guy. Helped us find some games and made lots of recommendations. He definitely knows his products. My husband also got to talk about his Batman collection and hockey. Super relatable and welcoming! If we lived in the area we would totally hang out here all the time. There was an area where other customers were playing their own game. Can't recommend this place enough and look forward to visiting it every time we are in town. read more

Best friendly local game store. Love them!! Good selection, excellent customer service!

Bar none the best game store in OC. Dice house has you covered with a constantly updated inventory. The multiple walls of medium to heavy euros are especially well-curated. There are full sections for deckbuilders, RPGs, family games, portable games, and anything else you can think of. As a standard, he also gives 10% off MSRP. Preorders for upcoming or out of stock games are easy. read more

Came in on a Saturday morning and it was great! The store quickly filled up with patrons. It was great to see. Purchased some book set for my son and will come back to buy some games for Christmas. They have tables set up for game play and probably have some tournaments too on set dates. Call and check online. If you need games, dice, gifts or anything else in that category this is the place for you! So nice to have a store nearby in Orange. Go play today!! read more

Love coming here, so many RPG selections. So fun just to look around. The collection and inventory of board games is astounding. Was so happy that they carry Delta Green RPG books and I'm so loving/enjoying my recent purchases there. Good bang for the buck. The owner/store attendant is very friendly. read more

Incredible staff and inventory. Got all the help we needed and then some. Will definitely be coming back.

This store is amazing!!! The selection of available games was soooo broad, not only the variety of games but also many, many expansion packs for base games. I also felt that the price of items was very reasonable, perhaps even a touch cheaper than I've seen elsewhere? I didn't do a direct comparison but nothing gave me sticker shock. The employee knew the stock incredibly well too, and was able to help us find what was needed. Finally, the selection of available figures and miniatures was much better than I have found anywhere else, including online. Buy in person and support local businesses, because service like this will never come from an AI. read more

Been here a handful of times now and always had a good experience! They have a very wide selection of board games. I've been able to find most of the games I've been interested in in store. Many games are marked down a bit (10%?) from MSRP. Owner is friendly and very knowledgeable of the stock. I've brought multiple friends and family here since I found this place. Support your local game store! read more

Friendly local game shop! I always try to come here to buy all of my games and accessories because they always have some sort of sale. read more

Mannn, I'm new to the dnd scene, and this place has it all! Super cool and totally appreciate the help! Also, a great selection of miniatures~~~ read more

A good selection with one of the best local owners. Dice house has the best customer service of any board game shop I've ever been to

Loved how well organized this place is - they have a vast selection, yet it's still easy to browse in store. The layout made it easy to see what they have. Their board games are also cheaper (by ~10%) than other average game stores. We called ahead to see if they're letting us play some board games in store, and we were happy to find out that they offered demo games in store (even more collection in the bathroom lol). The bathroom collection was pretty impressive, so definitely check it out if you plan on hanging out there for a bit (& if you don't mind spending time in the bathroom). It was hard to get into the bathroom since there were things blocking the doorway. It was my first time trying out a demo game in store so I was glad that the whole experience wasn't as awkward as I'd imagined (aka no one staring at /judging us while my bf and I learned how to play 7 wonders duel). If I remember correctly, spongebob was the showing playing on TV while we were there. If we lived closer/in this area, I could definitely see us frequenting this store often. The guy (not sure if he's just a worker or the owner) was also helpful in suggesting other game stores in the area that might be carrying the game we were looking for. Oh, and he had his mask on the entire time while we were there. read more

Such an amazing selection of games and dice! Large space with tables available. I was excited they even had escape room boxes games read more

Awesome selection of games, and friendly service. I was looking for games for my older parents, they had what I was looking for, and more! You should go here. read more

I love supporting small businesses, and sometimes for me the service can be more important than the price. This is why I often times choose to go to Dice House instead of buying the same product on Amazon for slightly cheaper. They pretty much have every game you could think of and some games you've never even heard of. If you're really lost and can't find a game that suits you and your friends, the person at the register will help you decide. They clearly know their stuff and they've never steered me wrong. read more

Very cute shop. They have a few tables inside where you can attend events or just play your own private games. There are two long walls filled with board games on the right and role playing essentials (books, miniatures, paints, etc.) on the left. The board games are organized alphabetically which was very helpful. The selection was also very diverse and you can definitely find more exclusive games here. Prices are fair and the owner is also very nice and willing to answer questions. read more

We are here a lot. My husband just went through his old Magic cards and got rid of ones that weren't part of a deck and sold them to this store. They were so upfront about which ones they were interested in and very fair with the pricing. You could either get paid out in cash (for a lower amount) or in store credit. We are on a serious gaming kick right now and absolutely LOVE board games so he picked the store credit. What I love about this place is that you can try out some of the games before you buy. They have Buffy the Vampire Slayer playing on the big screen on the wall, and tables through the middle of the store that make for a very relaxed atmosphere to just sit and play a demo version of one of the many, many sample games they have out for you. Another thing to love about this place is that they always have a recommendation for another game you should try based on what you already like. We went in there asking for a deck-building Euro-style game, and they not only knew right away what that was, but also what direction to send us in. The walls are littered with games and the pricing is really competitive with online sites. 5 stars for these guys! If you are into Magic, they do host gaming tournaments on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Prizes and promos, too! The schedule is available on their Facebook page. I won't be entering since I'm pretty sure I would be embarrassingly terrible at Magic, but my husband could probably give you a run for your money. No matter your level of "nerd" this is a really comfortable atmosphere. They have everything from party/social games, to the latest Kickstarter releases. Pro-tip: this is a GREAT date idea. Go together and pick out a game. Buy a bottle of wine and go home and play. You'll learn more about each other in a short amount of time than you ever thought possible. read more

This is a really good small game shop. They only have a couple of tables to use, but they have a good selection of games.

I've been looking for a local game store with a good selection of dice. I've tried a few other places but their chessex dice selection always left something to be desired. Dice house games has a fantastic selection compared to everywhere else I've tried. They have 2 to 3 shelving units dedicated to dice. Chessex, die hard dice, metallic dice games, mini dice, q-workshop and more. They have two full shelves of polyhedral chessex dice and two full shelves of 12mm and 16mm d6 blocks. They have chessex lab dice. I also noticed a glass case full of MTG cards, so now I have to come back with my boyfriend of course. I overheard the guy behind the counter telling a customer that they don't stock dice cups because they've never found one worth the cost. I appreciate a store looking out for their customers. I really like this place and it feels so dang friendly. My one complaint is that it was swampy in there when I was there. They had the door open and fans going, but it really wasn't enough. I walked out and realized I had been sweating quite a bit. read more

Dice House Games - Dice from dice house games! - Tabletop Games Near Me - Orange, California

I grew up in a Midwestern college town and the local gaming shop was the cool place to hang out, so having one nearby now is a comfort. The original Dice House was a few blocks away when we moved here but now it's a drive away (in a city I don't even know since I rely on Waze to get there) and I've gone there more often. It's a great place to find games and things to do (if it's something you've heard about, it's not too obscure for them to carry or order), and a better selection than a department store (also good to support a small business). They also give a discount and recommendations if you're not sure what you're looking for or want to try something new (and there's plenty). There's a lot of great stuff for gamers, but if you're getting a gift for someone that might not be then it could be limited. Though anyone can play and enjoy games and there's something here for anybody (and if there's somebody who defies even that then I don't want to know them). They have game meetings on many nights and weekends, and I'm always bummed I can't go but I usually have something going on and it might be out of my age range anyway. Also look on Facebook for some of their gaming groups (for board games and RPGs, last I looked) for people to meet and game with. And if you want to talk about Marvel Villainous, message me. read more

As an avid board gamer I look for variety and quality. Dice House rolls natural 20s on those fronts. The wall of games seems smaller than you thought until you notice that it is well-organized and has depth and variety of games and expansions. Yes, you can find a few mass-market games, but this is a great place who say "I've heard about this Gloomhaven thing?" and want to learn without high pressure. Games span the years with classics and the new hotness. Prices are good and the games keep evolving. It's always worth a re-scan. He includes games that were on Kickstarter, not just the mainstream. If it's a good game, it's probably here! OK, sure. There's also Magic and D&D. Whatever :-) Not my thing, but it looks like a reasonable selection. Highly recommended! read more

Huge selection of tabletop games. Amazing selection of DND items - paintable minis, books, dices and other accessories. Very friendly staff. In a mini mall but kind of on the side so you might have to park and walk. Absolutely worth it. read more

This place has been my go-to for board games and D&D supplies for almost a decade now. Their staff has always been helpful and fun for conversation every time read more

Games: Great selection for non-gamers and gamers. 20% off new releases. Has most card sleeve sizes. Also, has a small library of store games to play. Service: Great service, consistent updates of new releases thru their Facebook page, easy and fast to pre-order items or hold items (day of). read more

Went here for the first time and it is now my favorite game store! They have games that other stores couldn't even look up. The owner is the nicest person, and the pricing is fantastic. Cannot recommend this store highly enough! read more

Dice House Games - No other store in Orange County carried this game, or had even heard of it. Dice House had a full collection! - Tabletop Games Near Me - Orange, California

This place is awesome! I was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of options they have but the staff was very helpful when I told them I was looking for and they pointed me in the right direction. I found a really great game 7 wonders duel. They also have set up a really good system for Covid and social distancing with plenty of sanitizer I can't wait to come back to the store read more

Dice House Games - This shop is great! - Tabletop Games Near Me - Orange, California

I've been here a handful of times, tons of selections with board games; with some products for card games. Met the owner Tuan (more than half of the time when I'm there). Amazing guy, he's got a level head on those muscular shoulders. I have recommended this shop to a good amount of my friends, definitely a good place to check out. read more

TLDR: this store has the most anti-social, awkward and unhelpful staff I've EVER encountered. I walked in, and found an associate behind the counter. He didn't greet me, so after waiting a moment I opened the conversation by asking if they had a certain game. He looked at me, sarcastically said "no" and continued on with whatever he was doing behind the counter. My career is in sales. If I don't carry the exact product/model someone is looking for, I either; A. Find out if I can meet their need or solve their problem using something I do carry B. Recommend the dealer/company where the client can get their needs taken met. Clearly, the management at this shop needs to tell their store associates to treat customers warmly, and try to meet their needs. Dice House has forever lost out on my business. Perhaps I would have gotten better service if I had more lip piercings. read more

This store has tons of great games. The person working the desk was also very helpful. The person working the store mentioned that the owner tries to stock all the top rated games from the Board Game Geek website. read more

My go-to store for all things board and card games! Tuan is always super nice, knowledgeable, and helpful and their selection of boardgames, minifigs, card games, dice and accessories is outstanding. Dice House has something for everyone, especially at the new location. Prices are always fair and usually better than other shops, which is NOT always the case in the Magic world especially. This shop cares about their community, which is why I'll continue to support them! read more

I came here on a handful of visits when I was in a Star Wars EotE (Edge of the Empire) campaign. While the store is a bit on the small side, they have a ton of board games and is really well organized. A line of tables splits the store and there's usually people playing board or card games. I made the critical error of using the wrong analogy or terminology during a conversation and was corrected by one of their regular gamers (yes, some of them can be an odd lot). Nice store, parking can be a bit tricky since ther'e not a lot out front and it's timed (buy who enforces it?) but there's plenty just outside the Smart and Final (or whatever big store is next to the bank). read more

Been looking for a set of dice since my wife and friends are wanting to seriously get into D&D so I decided to look around the area for game shops. Stopped here after school last week just to look around. From the outside you would barely have an idea this is a game store. Not only do you pass the turn into the shopping center really quick if you're going west on Chapman, but the building is one of those with multiple storefronts only distinguishable by the signage above the door. That said, I was was very impressed with the interior and atmosphere. Almost every square inch of the walls were covered in shelving with neatly organized boxes of tabletop and card games filling them. I could have spent hours just perusing their selection and had no idea so many games likes these even existed! The way they had them placed on their sides, rather than on top of each other, was also very visually appealing and made pulling one from the shelf to view it infinitely easier than some of the other stores I've been to where you had to dig through stacks of games to get to an interesting-looking one near the bottom of the pile. The center of the room had tables and chairs for people that had come in to play. It was interesting eavesdropping on a dungeon master to see how he went about creating the setting for his players and handling npc interaction. There was at least one group playing Catan, and I believe there was another table playing Magic or some other card game. Finally made my way to the D&D wall. They had an entire shelving unit dedicated to dice and, despite this, I still wasn't able to commit to a set! They even had the metal dice, themed dice, and gemstone dice (not sure I need a $70 set of hematite dice, but it was interesting to see that they are available somewhere other than Etsy). Another shelving unit was dedicated to figures, another to books, another to Pathfinder, etc. Looking forward to the opportunity to come back with my wife and friends so they can see what the shop's like and to finally settle on a set of dice! read more

AMAZING!!! New releases are 20% off for a few weeks. Met the owner there along with a worker and they are helpful and kind compared to a previous shop I've been too. Don't let the small store fool you, they are stocked with almost any new game or current popular game you could think of, such as a whole shelf of Zombicide and their expansions with add-on. While most other shops don't offer promos, this shop is still offering promos for any games new or old. They got tables in the center of the shop for anyone to play on and they also got games for anyone to demo or try out on one of the shelves. For the owner, thanks! I am a fan, I almost didn't stop by but luckily for me I did and it made my night! read more

Great local game store and the prices are extremely competitive.

I drive out from Riverside county to come here where there is a store worth going out of your way for. I have purchased from here for years, and its my goto place because the selection is vast, the owners are great, they have a large selection of demo games if you want to try the game in the store with friend(s), and they can get any special order you want if you're hunting for something very very specific and unique. The games on hand are outstanding, and the owners can answer questions as needed. This is not just a casual store...its like a family. Make it yours as well. read more

Dice House Games - Owner is always friendly and willing to chat. - Tabletop Games Near Me - Orange, California

So many games, so little time. I was a little concerned from the outside that this shop would be small, but alas, wrong again, Billy! Dice House Games is a treasure trove for those who love any kind of analog games. Every Munchkin, Flux, MTG, etc. you could imagine. Shelves of miniatures and books for RPGs. Most impressive to me is the treasure trove of board games that fill shelves from floor to ceiling along the right side of the shop. They arrange titles alphabetically, from A to Zendo (which is also a great evil game). We didn't have a ton of time to play demos or play anything at the tables they have in the store, but I will definitely make the drive again when I have some time. Another thing worth pointing out is that their prices are at least 5% lower than what I've been able to find online. This is a major plus if you hate Amazon as much as I do. Thank you guys for creating a place where Unapologetic nerds like myself can find obscure titles to add to our growing hoards of games!! read more

5 stars!!!! This place is packed to brim with every game you could ask for and more!!!!!! And The le were Twan is Super nice and personable!! I've been coming here for all the many years I've.been gaming!! No bad incidents!!!! read more
