    Stickers
    Karin H.

    Such a cute little fun shop with little Knick Knacks. Walked through and saw some interesting games ranging from classic to modern. big to tiny things (they have tiny dice) ended up getting some fun stickers for $3.50 each! Lady at the register had a big smile when coming in and ringing us up. 10/10

    Stopped into Games People Play just to look around and ended up buying a few Knick knacks! They have all sorts of fun little items -- cute animal erasers, quirky shot glasses, board games, and more. It's a fun, nostalgic shop with a little bit of everything

    I'm immediately drawn to any spot that has the word "Games" in it so when I was passing by to grab some ice cream, I instantly knew I had to stop by to see what this place had to offer. The store front has a variety of stuffed animals displayed and you can see inside there are aisles of fun gadgets to browse through. I walked in and the first thing I see is a shelf with San Francisco-related children's books, which I thought was cool and special since we're just across from SF. It's nice to see local stores supporting and carrying books that young children can read about at an early age. This store carries Dowdle puzzles, cute stuffed animals, knick-knacks, books, children toys, paper dolls, mini building blocks, shirts, games, and countless other touristy items. It's a great spot to pick up something local to the Bay Area or Sausalito. You can spend a good 20-30 minutes (without children) and more with! It's a friendly store to browse if you have some time downtown.

    Super cute toy store! We saw everything! Lego, puzzles, wooden toys, so many dice, plushies, and keepsakes! Would recommend stopping by!

    A fantastic toy store for kids of all ages! Average pricing. This shop is crammed with products, offering all sorts of toys, games, books, accessories, postcards and gifts. I especially love the selection of books about Sausalito and SF that were right at the front of the store.

    A fun store to walk around whenever in downtown Sausalito! They carry a good mixture between souvenirs, toys, and unique gifts. We ended up buying a shirt, some cool erasers and marbles. The staff was friendly and helpful. They also carry some Lego sets if you're in search for some. Plenty of shirts, toys, and cool items. This place is a must when walking around or browsing through downtown.

    Ready for some fun!

    This store is adorable! There's a nice section available for souvenirs. There's also a huge section for cute erasers. There's lots of toys and novelty gifts. My only problem is that the store is so small. There was a lot of people there (we went on a Saturday afternoon) and it was so cramped!

    I bought a monopoly set from Games People Play on my last trip to Sausalito! Friendly staff, awesome toys and a convenient location in Sausalito - it's hard to miss if you're walking in Downtown.

    COOL. I like items they sell in here. I bought 4 dice that had one small dice inside a bigger transparent dice. I also got another dice that didn't have dots on it, but it had words instead. COOL. VERY COOL. They also a bunch of small cool things here.

    So many tiny little knick knacks, games, toys and stuffed animals here that I am sure to blindfold my children before walking them anywhere near the store, because they'll want to stay there all day! The staff behind the counter seemed very nice and let me shoot a bunch of pictures of the merchandise to upload to Yelp. Or they just didn't see me doing it. Prices seemed reasonable. Definitely a stop here should be on the list on any visit to Sausalito.

My boyfriend and I found this nice little shop when we were in the area and wanted to see what kind of RC Cars this place had. The guy working there Brian was such a great guy to talk to. They talked about the different types of RC cars there was. There are drift cars, monster trucks, buggies, crawlers... the list goes on. We were in there for maybe an hour or so just talking. Brian was such a gem, that 5 years later we go back and have built a wonderful friendship with him, he had become our older brother. Brian is that type of person who will not just sell you an RC car, but he will sell you one that suits you. If you had a car in mind and he does not have it in stock, he is willing to order it and he will make sure he orders you the best one. Brian also fixes RC cars if something is broken or if you have no idea why it isn't working. He will give you a quote before actually fixing it and if the price is good with you, he will start the fixing processes. He is not the type of sell you useless cars, he tries his best to order the best. He does sell more then just RC cars. Just go check him out and see what he has to offer. He also has model cars that you can build. He has a few trains and tracks. He has a lot of paints for the models and other things. Brian is great.

She is now a retired Purser for a major US airline, and that plaque was just perfect for her retirement party. At first, the sign was showing not available on their website. A quick call to Nancy there at Tailwinds solved that problem (computer glitch), and the follow-on ordering was super easy! A few days later, Nancy called me back and said that the manufacturer suggested a slightly different formatting of the lower personalization plate (where the airline name and dates of service are printed.) I accepted that slight tweak, and in just a few days, the completed plaque was sent directly to my brother (so he could wrap it up for the pending party.) My sister-in-law LOVES the plaque, and it is now proudly displayed in her home office (along with all of my brother's USMC plaques from the '80s.) In fact, all of her fellow flight attendants just had to know where she got that sign from, so I quickly provided them a link to the Tailwinds.com website. Just some great products and excellent customer service! Thanks, Tailwinds, and Nancy!

I started coming again now that I got into model kit building and painting and I have a totally new appreciation for this place. Due to the small size of the store, the selection is not comprehensive, but I always find very cool things every time I come in. I usually shop for gunpla, military model kits, game miniatures, and hobby supplies like paints and glues. I'm fine with paying a bit more to support a local store, but I'm always pleasantly shocked that prices here are either roughly the same as online or cheaper! I don't keep up with anime figure prices anymore so I can't tell you if the prices on those are as competitive. I can only vouch for the model kits/miniatures/supplies. The biggest downside is the place is super cramped, but in a way it's also somewhat of a plus because I can look around at the various stacked boxes and find lots of treasures. Plus the person behind the counter (think he's the owner?) is very nice and patient.

The store offers a variety of collectible/fun items at competitive and relatively low prices. They have a rotating and wide selection of figures from various franchises that other stores in the Japantown mall might not have, even the Kinokuniya. During my last visit (12/17/2025) in particular I remember they had a huge selection of Spy Family figures and many of the Project Sekai Sega Prize figures but they also carry other merch from many other franchises like JJBA, Love Live, and MHA. The store limits its capacity to six customers at a time but that's only because they have so much items in the store! The employees are very nice and help get the items you want quickly, every item I've purchased from here has been unopened and in perfect condition. Highly recommend this store

My son and I have been RC customers here for nearly a year and the owner (Michael) and crew are friendly and willing. There is a good selection of popular ARRMA, Losi, Axial and Traxxas vehicles and just about every single new release is in the shop within a few days. There is a curated collection of popular race vehicles behind the counter as well as Kyosho Mini-Z and handful of more specialized brands that only enthusiast hobbyist would even know about like Xpress, MST, and Corally to name a few. There is a small selection of planes and helicopters, and I've been able to have the shop order kits that are more obscure and have it be available within a week or so.
