First of all I am not a hardcore gamer person, so sometimes places where enthusiasts are I may feel a little out of place, but definitely not at DiceHouse. I have been here a few times and each time I have felt completely at ease. I went there with friends the first time to check it out and I had never played any of the games. I asked some questions about what a newbie might enjoy and the difficulties of each of the games. I ended up buying this game called Munchkin ( a truly magnificient game---check it out!). I have been back to this store for Game Nights, where there is lots of tasty food, good company and a terrific atmosphere and of course to stock up on all things Munchkin, including a very pretty set of pearl colored dice (i'm a girl, meaning pretty things count). Everyone is always friendly, helpful and the prices are reasonable. Bottom-line you walk away feeling like you just found your very own Goondocks. :) read more

Spectacular selection of games and a vibrant array of colorful and unique dice. Great expert customer service!

Dice House Games - Tabletop Games Near Me - Orange, California

This is my game store of choice and the owner is incredibly friendly and nice. They also have very competitive pricing, the 10% off MSRP all items and 20% off MSRP for new releases is really helpful. The only problem is that they tend to have less stock compared to other game stores, especially slightly more obscure releases. If they have a game I want in stock though, this is where I'm buying it from. read more

Best. Game Shop. Ever. Tuan and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable and game lovers themselves. If they don't have something in stock here (doubtful), they will definitely be able to get it for you. They have regular MTG events on Friday and Saturday nights and board game days on Sunday. But every day is a great day to stop by, learn a new game or just hang out. Definitely worth a look if you're in the area. read more

always a pleasure to stop by and pick up models to paint. great prices and great items in stock! always have new items :)

My husband and I were looking for a specific board game to purchase today, and after calling a few other board game stores that didn't have it, we discovered that Dice House had it! There's a lot of board games available to demo, seating for demoing board games, and so many board games available for sale! Will definitely be returning. read more

I freaken LOVE this place! If your looking for a game place for new game ideas, things for your campaign, a place to place with your group etc this is an Awesome place to try out. Not only do they have everything for my D&D needs but they have some of the coolest games you've ever heard of and the best part is their Employee of the month! If you know and love him.. I Fuks with you. Lol I support small businesses!! Definitely come check this place out!! read more

Went to a casual game night on a Sunday for a great time. The tables all had mats on them, so picking up cards of the table was not an issue. It wasn't terribly crowded, and we played for hours without anyone shooing us away. No cover fee, no time limit, no pressure for us to purchase a game. At the end of the game night, we looked through all the shelves of games, and we were so overwhelmed with how many titles the store carried! Every time I went back to a shelf, I saw something new. Ended up buying a game for myself and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was even 10% off. The shop owner was incredibly friendly and easy to chat with about board gaming. It was clear that the shop reflects his passion for the hobby. read more

Alright this review is actually long overdue. I'm really glad this place exists as there aren't any local board game shops where I live in Monterey Park. I started my board game collection from here 4 years ago and its where I got most of my games at very good prices paired up with a Board of Gamers discount. This place has everything for your inner nerd. Not only was I overwhelmed with the crazy collection of board games and other stuff but, they had "Serenity" playing on the tv and I was like "...!@)*#$ I wish I had a place like this when I was growing up." The Dice House is my like my board game church. If you're passionate about board games and everything tabletop, you've come to the right place because they are too. Cheers. read more

I have lived in Fullerton for eight years and had no idea this gem of a place existed until now. My husband and I were looking for board games to entertain guests and found ourselves not only loving the selection but sitting down in the store to demo Dominion. We had a blast learning how to play and experiencing the ambiance of the place with a group playing another game next to us. The culture of this place is relaxed and playful. Loved the experience! read more

Such a cute cozy place!! We just had korean bbq at Mr. BBQ and decided to check this place out and man it was fun! They have an area for you to choose from an AMPLE of choices of boardgames to try out there! So, we've always had Zombie Dice in our cart for amazon, but never really bought it haha and we finally got to try it here! cuz they had a demo available, well upon trying out the game we decided we didn't like it LOL! then we played Shiba Inu House and it was such a fun game! We became aggressive, tried to complete our mission before the other players, and yeah it's a fun game! We decided to purchase the game right on the spot! Of course we love slick dealing so we checked out amazon prior to buying it here and it was a $2 difference? The owner was so nice!! he price matched it for us! I felt bad afterwards though..i mean darnit Trinh, It's not that much of a difference i shouldn't have tried to slickdeal a small shop T.T THANK YOUUUUU FOR PRICE MATCHING IT!!!! I FEEEL SUPER GRATEFUL!!!! =) AND WE LOVE THE GAME and can't wait to come back to try out others!! =)) btw the owner has to buy the demos, so it wasn't given for free! so treat them nicely so it can last long for future players =)) yay! read more

This place is floor to ceiling covered with board games for all shapes, sizes, ages, interests, skill levels, etc. The workers here are insanely knowledgeable. This place is called Dice House to expect to see a whole section of their store dedicated to dice! Many colors and faces to choose from. I'd assume Magic the Gathering is one of their largest audiences/customers, but they definitely have something for everyone. My brother frequents this place often and I was happy to check it out with him on his last visit. There is even a section for board games that are for demos so if you aren't sure about your choice you can demo it for free and then purchase it to take it home. My brother has bought several board games from here and has not yet been disappointed. We hope to be back soon. read more

They have so many cool board games! The owner was super nice too! He wanted to give us some extra cards for our game but he didn't have the one for our game lol. I like how they have a large variety! read more

Update time! I love love love this place. Tuan (the owner) is the coolest owner of a game store. He is pleasant and is very friendly with anyone in his store (Good policy). He is also a gamer, so he knows the stuff he sells. Ever since the renovation, the store is stocked with the major stuff: board games, card games, CCGs (like Magic) and RPGs (like Dungeons and Dragons). Card sleeves (to protect your cards), dice, and accesories galore. There are ample table space so you can play games if you like, or hobnob with the regulars (and they're always there). This is a place to just hang out and relax, or a place to be on the edge of your seat as you bite, claw, hairpull, eye-gouge, punch and kick your way to victory! To keep yourself updated, DHG has a Facebook page and a website. Check those out so you know when Magic the Gathering day vs. board game day is. The sites also tell you when and what new stuff come in, and when they get restocks. They have a used board game/RPG section. Check it out. If you need to order something in advance, just ask Tuan. He can hook you up, and you can get a discount in the process. If you go here,tell him I sent you and that I said hi! I love this place, and so will you. So there ----raspberries read more

Years ago there was a game store in Fullerton called The Game Castle. It was not just one of the best game stores around, but also the main hang-out for anyone interested in board games, RPG's, card games like Magic the Gathering, and anything else that you could possibly want or imagine. Over the years The Game Castle suffered as videogames took over the game market. It eventually moved, and recently has closed its doors forever. That was then, this is now. Two of the elder employees of that fine establishment have come back to Fullerton, across the street from their old haunt, and have opened DiceHouse Games! The store is smaller, because they emphasize the best selling genres of games. Not the obscure titles that only a few care about. As a result of this focus, you have Magic the Gathering Games, Heroclix tournaments, Warmachine leagues, and so much more. All being played in a brand-new, squeaky clean environment, where you are encouraged to play, and meet new people. The atmosphere in this store is amazing. The second you walk in, you want to buy something and play until your brain gets fried. They have 3 large tables for playing, and a small area with a couch and several chairs around a t.v. so that you can relax and watch a DVD, or play PS2 or Wii. They even sell drinks and snacks. Basically, it has been designed to be a hang-out. Everyone is encouraged to make themselves at home. The hours claim that the store closes at 9pm on the weekends, but I guarantee you that you will be playing until midnight along with everyone else. What more can I say, it's the perfect successor to The Game Castle. They have improved on everything from the actual merchandise to the inviting atmosphere. So if you're tired of playing by yourself, get yourself to DiceHouse Games! It's close to CSUF, FJC, and the local high schools like Valencia and Troy. Have fun! read more

I've been here several times with either a goal to find something specific or asking for recommendations. Today we went in looking for a small game to carry on a long backpacking trip. The employee walked around the store with us looking for a game and was patient, helpful, and friendly. Ended up joining the world of Magic in the end and stoked on that! All in all though, these guys all rock and the store is wonderful and you can tell they care! read more

The board game Eldritch Horror just recently came out, and I called all the board game stores near me to see if they stocked it. They had no idea what I was talking about, and they didn't stock it. I called up Dice House Games, and the owner knew exactly what I was talking about and had it in stock. I drove out to Dice House Games, and not only was it displayed prominently at the front of the store, but it had 20% off. Incredible! I have lived in Seattle, Phoenix, Colorado and Wyoming, and as far as game stores go (board games & RPGs), this place is a billion times better than any other gaming store I have been at. It's neat and orderly, the inventory is very extensive, and the prices are very reasonable; I don't feel like prices are being artificially jacked up like so many other gaming stores do. This place is a dream come true, and if it wasn't such a grueling drive (due to both distance and California drivers), I would come here often. As it stands, to get to the store is a bit of a trip for me, but I still plan on coming back at some point. I'm not into TCGs, so I can't vouch for that, but if you're looking for board games or RPGs, then I strongly, strongly recommend this location. read more

I was a Magic: the Gathering player not so long ago... In my days as an avid and serious player one of the most important things for me was to find a good shop to play at. What makes for a good shop? A clean and comfortable store; owners that care; a good community of players. Those types of shops are few and far between, but this shop is one of them for sure. It's actually made me consider getting back into the game of Magic because of the store's location. And I have played in pretty much every store from Collector's Paradise in Winnetka, Pair of Dice Games in Oceanside to Cyberzone in Moreno Valley and pretty much every store in between. So I know a quality store when I see one. One of the owners I met, Tuan, is a really cool and down to earth guy who is also an avid gamer himself. He loves what he does and it shows in the store. No, I don't know this guy but he's cool peeps and this shop is definitely by players for players. I high recommend it. Who knows, you may see me there going 0-2 drop. read more

What a difference! I got a Yelp message from the owner of Dice House Games. It was a very nice apology for the service, or lack there of, that we received and he even said that my review helped. He invited us back to try the store again. I will be the first one to give mad props to any owner/supervisor/manager who is willing to interact with a Yelper. It shows that they truly take our reviews seriously. SOOOO.... since Tuan asked us to give his store another try I thought we should do just that. Today we were in the area and thought it would be a great time to drop in. The store was full of MTG players. It was all a buzz. They have Saturday night MTG drafts! Very cool. We walked in and looked around and when we were close to the back where Tuan is he greeted us. Awesome! He talked to my husband, he interacted with the players, and someone else behind the counter and no one in the store felt ignored. So Tuan, if you read this, thank you for the great greeting and for the good conversation. Tuan has a great selection of singles if you are looking for specific MTG cards. His prices are also comparable to the internet prices. Plus, he has a Saturday night MTG draft every Saturday which is not that common! Like I said, I am a Yelper-real people, real reviews. So last time we were here I gave our experience a one star. In fact I we didn't even buy anything because we walked out after the poor service. This time I gave our experience a FIVE STAR! We were greeted. We felt welcome in the store. We had a nice talk with the owner. We purchased singles, packs, and supplies we needed and had a great experience. The average of course is a three star. We will be returning when we are in the area and I think my husband is looking forward to possibly going out to do a Saturday draft from time to time. Happy Husband = great review. Thanks Tuan for the communications with me. They were very appreciated. Because of your communication we returned to your store for another try, you got some business from us, and we will be sharing your store not only here on Yelp but with fellow MTG players from other stores that we play at. So let me give every owner out there some more advice. Yelpers do appreciate the feedback from you. This is a great example of how feedback can keep people coming back. read more

Still the best place to learn and play new games. So many friendly people who don't mind questions and are friendly to newbies. Just stop by and see! read more

Dice House Games - Tabletop Games Near Me - Orange, California

My son is on a quest for dice to replace those that someone lifted from his Axis & Allies board game. He's sweating, he's shaking, he's got to find suitable dice! After dinner, he asks for my cellphone to do a search and comes up with DiceHouse Games. And they are open on Sundays until 8PM? Nice. We hop in the car in a mad dash north and bingo, it's off of the corner of Chapman and State College across the street from where another game store used to be. This place is sparse because it looks like all their money is tied up in Magic: The Gathering cards. They did have some various styles and colors of dice in their glass case, but alas, not what he wanted. As a matter of fact, their dice was the exact same manufacturer that Brookhurst Hobbies carries. read more

I recently started playing Magic: The Gathering with my two close friends. I came into this shop after reading the positive Yelp reviews, and I was not disappointed. The store owner (whom I forgot to get his name, but he is an Asian guy) was very kind to me. I told him I was new to MTG, and asked him very nooby questions. I was afraid he was going to give me a look like "wow, this guy is such a noob!", but he didn't. Instead, he was very attentive and answered all my questions kindly. The selection of magic cards is excellent! ended up buying 3 rares, a few uncommons, 70 or so common cards, and two packs of plastic card sleeves. Prices on the single cards: 10 cents for all common cards 25 cents for all uncommon cards 1 dollar for all rares in the huge "rare binder" The other rares/mystic rares all vary in price. Also, booster packs are 3 dollars a pop if you buy 10 or more (i think). Otherwise, booster packs are $3.60 each. I would give him 5 stars on his prices, but I know of a few other places that have booster packs and rares priced cheaper. 4 stars on MTG pricing :) (I do understand that this is a business, and it is hard to break even at a hobby store) I definitely recommend this store to any new players. Don't be scared, just give Dice House Games a visit. You won't regret it! read more

Decided to check out Dice House today as my wife and I were in the area. Walked in to a nearly empty store (it was around lunch on a Sunday so I wasn't too surprised) which really allowed us to see how organized and clean the entire place was! There are a bunch of tables set up in the middle for people to play games on as well as a decent-sized rack of opened games you can demo; always a bonus. All the games were well laid-out and easy to browse and their prices were very fair. In fact, there was a sale going on which everything that much sweeter. The person behind the counter was courteous and polite as well. It may not have the staggering selection of STUFF that, say, Brookhurst does, but it's no slouch in selection and is far more organized. There's even a used RPG section (with a boxed copy of TORG!). The only thing it's missing are miniatures and paints, but I suspect they've really become the niche of an already niche market unless you plan on devoting a giant section to Warhammer and War Machine. We picked up two games and earmarked a few more for our eventual return because we'll definitely be coming back! It'll definitely be worth the trip. EDIT: Looking at their photos, it looks like the used to carry miniatures before. Ah well, I'm sure the current board game renaissance helps make way more money per square foot which is still fine by me. Also, the front of the store looks very different than the first photo, which threw me off a bit. read more

I started coming here this summer because I was looking for a local game shop and this one was the highest rated one near me. The owner of the shop is really nice and he remembered my name even after my first visit. I first came to play in MtG draft, but started to play in other events such as pre-release, FNM, and game day. The draft is a little pricey at 15$, but prize support goes multiple boosters to the top places and everyone else receives a booster which is really nice. The rest of the events are of regular price. Tournaments and events usually start on time which is a big plus as some other game stores I have been to take 15-30 minutes to get an event started. The singles here, though, are very fairly priced! I always check this place first if I am looking for specific singles. They are also stocked with gaming accessories such as card sleeves, deck boxes, dice, and playmats. This not solely a card shop as it has many other games such as board games and role playing games. There are plenty of games on the shelves that surround the store. The environment is really friendly here. There will be days where it is packed and you can get a chance to interact and socialize with many people. Other days it may be a little empty, but those days are nice to bring in a group of friends and just play and hang out. The shop also has its own bathroom, which is really awesome for a game shop in my opinion. read more

Very nice environment. They have organized games for Friday Night Magic, booster drafts and New set releases. The table playing area is spacious and the staff here is nice and they really know their stuff on the different types of board and card games. Also worth noting is that there are many number of places to eat around this store. read more

Great selection of games and always something going on during the weekends. Excellent customer service and knowledgeable staff. Whatever they don't have they can always order for you at a discount. UPDATE 4/19/2014 More shelves means more stock and I am always able to find what I want. Great groups that meet most days of the week, my favorite being the RPG Thursday group. read more

I was at brunch with my girlfriend, my sister, and sister's friend. I really wanted a board game, and someone had mentioned Dice House to me. Despite all of us looking like we had just come from a cocktail party, we decided to stop in just to see what it was like. My first impression when I walked in the door: wow. There are a LOT more board and card games than I realized. Luckily, the guy at the front was super helpful, considering we were probably some of the more clueless customers to wander into the shop as of late. (For reference, I have about 2 board games in my apartment). He took the time to answer plenty of questions, give a couple recommendations, and I'm sure I asked him at least 10 things. Seeing as it was Sunday, it also happened to be 'demo day', which means you can select a board game from their demo collection and play it for free. Awesome! We settled on a board game (mainly at my prodding), and had an absolute blast for a couple hours. No hassles, no pressure, nothing. I ended up buying a card game at the end because they had run out of the game we were playing. Yes, the games are a little more expensive than Amazon. But I don't mind spending an extra $5 to support a small business that's as cool as Dice House. I'll be back here - especially when I'm thinking about a new game in the hopes that they might have a demo first! And for the record, absolutely no one hassled any of the 3 women I was with like a couple reviews mentioned. There were only 2 other groups in the shop, and one actually had a mix of guys and girls. read more

I heard some good things about this place so figured I would go check it out. There were no other customers in the store when I arrived. I had to say hi to the guy behind the counter for him to acknowledge my presence. I tried to start a casual conversation with about Magic because I was interested in starting again. I tried twice to talk to him but I guess Facebook or whatever he was computering was more important. I hung around the store for about 10 minutes browsing the games to see what they had. I had questions about some of them but I was not offered any help. The parking is also terrible I had passed by once before and I planned ahead and brought my skateboard to get from the available parking to the shop. Game stores need to realize that with the internet he have to provide added value to their customers if they want to compete. This added value has to go above and beyond instant gratification. They get two stars for having a good amount gaming space. I bought a 100ct pack if Red DeckPro deck protectors on Tuesday August 10th because I didn't want to waste 45 minutes traveling on 4 freeways to get there. I hope they read this and the guy remembers the greaser with a skateboard because the 6 dollars I spent will be all they are going to get. It's not even worth the drive/ride to play there casually for free. read more

This is it, it has all the signs of being a great local game store. Great selection, great ownership and great customers. I've been coming here for X-Wing tournaments since the beginning of this year and they have met and exceeded all my expectations. Not only is the staff great but the people that come here are too. The selection is quite good considering the size and competitively priced for a retail store. I've purchased non X-Wing stuff here as well and everything has been good. read more

False advertising for their Black Friday sale. States everything was 20% off. I drove all the way there just to have them state everything I wanted was NOT ON SALE Even their posting in front of their store says 20% off everything, no restrictions. Will never come back to buy any product from here ever again. read more

Since I'd last written a review, the store has implemented a "no MSRP" policy. Everything in the store is pretty much at least 10% off of MSRP. The staff are still polite and very helpful. I've placed a few special orders there, and they're always discounted. EDH is not quite what it used to be at this location anymore. This is the main reason I wanted to update the review. read more

Clean, comfortable store with a friendly atmosphere, excellent management and staff. Well stocked stocked shelves and discounted prices on everything in the store. It's a great place to buy and play games. read more

I live in LA now but I still prefer to make the drive to Fullerton and come here instead of just finding a new game place that's closer. This place has got everything. It's a super friendly environment. And there are always plenty of other nerds to socialize with during game days/events. read more

Excellent game store. Great customer service. Also best prices. They always get the latest releases. Probably the best game store in all la area. They hold games when I ask and will order whatever isn't there. The owner and staff are friendly and answer any questions read more

I've been here a few times and will always be back. I love how they have shelves of games available for you to try out before buying and it always seems like there's someone there playing something, so you can get a good feel for things. I love their selection and the guy who works there is always helpful. I think the only worry I have is that I can sometimes find games elsewhere that are cheaper than their price after the 10% discount. This is usually for more mainstream games like Ticket to Ride or Pandemic, though, so I would definitely choose Dice House if I'm looking for something that's harder to find. read more

Friendly and knowledgeable with a great selection of games. You can easily order things for a little cheaper online, but why do that when you can support a local business? I've bought several boardgames here and will most likely buy some more in the future. read more

Great place! Went here to pick up this amazing zombie board game called, "Last Night on Earth." Tuan, was helpful and informative about everything. I also bought a couple magic singles and bulk lands for a great price. I love spending money at hobby shops, because I know its money well spent. Gotta support your local niche shops! Probably come back for my magic needs or if i need another board game. thanks dice house! update- second time coming back to this epic place and Meagan was running the ship, she was so nice that i had to update this review, thanks Meagan and thanks for that tip! read more

Absolutely amazing experience! The worker was so attentive and nice. He was able to help me with purchasing clear card sleeves. I will go back to check out the games soon! Thank you so much! read more

Local mom and pop board game. I usually go in for the board game days since there's a good group of people in the fullerton area. At least 5 tables and the people are very friendly. If you're in the area looking for a family fun thing to do, try out one of the newer board games. Will keep the kids and adults entertained. read more
