    Always love a new card shop, especially in Japantown. Guy behind the counter was super knowledgeable and friendly. Location is a bit hard to find but worth it once you do find it!

    To sum it up: Many games for purchase, clean and organized store, MSRP Pokemon trading cards, and…read moreallows donations. My husband and I are huge Pokemon fans and we love to open and collect cards. But with the surging popularity of this hobby, many stores such as Target, GameStop, and other collectible places sometimes increase their prices, so it's not worth it to buy them overpriced. Gamescape keeps their prices as MSRP and their staff is very friendly. They keep it simple and easy with their Pokemon trading card items behind the counter and if they have more, they'll tell you and if they're not, they're out. None of that "hiding items from customers" nonsense that you see from other stores because they want to keep it for themselves, and etc. I also appreciate them accepting our donations of Pokemon items and accessories such as playmats, dice, binders, etc. After opening Pokemon cards, my husband and I do not need 10+ playmats, bunch of dice, and countless binders. With all of these in "never used" conditions, we would rather donate them to kids who would appreciate them more and have fun with them. I definitely do not want to sell those to kids or others as well, since they are free items with the Pokemon cards. Gamescape accepted our donations and was very appreciative. Thank you Gamescape for being one of the few places who sells their Pokemon items at MSRP and allowing us to enjoy this hobby without burning our $$$ too much lol

The bustling murmuring of fans chatting bout the game. Everyone in the community here is so helpful and open. They gave me card protectors and even game resources. The staff is the best. Always friendly and enthusiastic about helping you. Their price are the best in town bar none. Even the official Bandai store is 20$ more. Ironically, during this pre release event for a new set, the official store didn't have any products. ( Gamescape price are the best and they give free packs per win. I definitely recommend you to shop here for your TCG and figuring hobbies needs.

    People like playing games. Some see life as one big video game as others see it as a board game…read more San Francisco is full of games and gamification is the name of the game. It doesn't have to be a holiday for people to start playing reindeer games. There is a game for almost anything like corporation games, political games and fantasy games etc. Most games are played solo and some are played with teammates but you always need an opponent to play. Some games are rigged and some are pay for play like buying bots to inflate social media presence. There is a place which is loaded with game at the Sunset Strip of San Francisco on Taraval and it's called Versus. This place has lots of game. Inside it has lots of tables to engage in a game of cards. They have trading card game events and tournaments competitions .This place also sells trading card games such as Final Fantasy and Pokémon. They also sell beer ( root beer) and 7 up to up your game.Some games are played for high stakes and some play stupid games to win stupid prizes in SF. Some games can be "taught "other games can be "bought " some games are rigged for social media presence by buying followers by the "bot "and according to game theory is all about winning and not getting "caught " Some game are easy others are "hard" and some players don't follow the game rules without "regard" and some gaming strategies are going on the attack mode and some players are put on "guard" the games at Versus are usually played as a board game and most games are played with a trading game" card"

    Visiting San Francisco for the first time in 19 years, I made it a mission to find a game store…read more The closest one was about a mile away, so I walked from The Clancy in SoMa with one goal: buy the new 2024 D&D Monster Manual. That's my rule: if I step into a game or comic shop, I have to buy something. It's a hard habit to break at this point. From the outside, the store looks massive -like it might contain the multiverse. But once inside, the retail selection isn't quite as big as it appeared to be. BUT... it's got great stuff. Solid board game options. Plenty of space for RPGs and card games. It's the kind of store that's clearly built around social gatherings and play. Spacious and not cramped. A rare find in a city setting. There's an upstairs and downstairs, but those seemed more dedicated to table games you can meet up and play rather than shopping, so I didn't explore too much. The staffer working was friendly and helpful. She even checked if they had the new Monster Manual. Unfortunately, they didn't. That was a letdown. I mean, it's been out for months. If a game store doesn't carry the NEW core D&D books, especially right after a new edition drops, it stings a bit. They had plenty of the original 5e, but not the new. Still, I wasn't leaving empty-handed. Picked up a slick set of dice and the softcover Pathfinder 2E Monster Core Pocket Edition. Gotta support the cause. Overall? I'm glad I found the place. It's a real hangout spot. Honestly, throw in some coffee and comfy chairs, and I'd post up there for hours. Coffee and dice----- it just works right? Note: The 5-stars is a soft 5 because it really doesn't deserve a 4. I just wasn't floored and wowed by the place in general. 4.5 would be perfect. But a 5 it is DESPITE they didn't have what I came to get.

    They gave me out really weird vibe and uncomfortable atmosphere with staff or whoever is in there…read more I ended up paying for sometime anyway because I didn't want to walk out empty handed, especially with the attitude of whoever work there.

    at first, i was a bit confused since i mistook this store for a walk-in shop and didn't know about…read morethe pickup deal. i didn't have an exact product in mind, but i settled on pokemon cards before the person in front of me was done. the man (or possibly owner?) was really helpful and engaged a lot with customers to make sure he knew what they wanted or what they were inquiring. im just a hobbyist card collector, so i didn't know what specific series of cards i was looking for, and he just suggested the cheapest ones, which were what i was going for. initially i was nervous and didn't know if there was a pack limit, but he clarified its just so people don't buy out the entire stock (which is very good for business, since it happens all too often at retail spaces!) even if you don't have an order or know the exact product to the precise detail you want, staff is very helpful in giving you options :) a nice place that id stop by every week if i were local!!

    Where do I even start? Husband and I were trying to get…read moresome cards. Never heard of this store so we decided to check it out. It's online order only and you can't go inside. The employee seemed offended that we didn't know the process and told us they did pickup only. Not once did he inform us on the actual website. Secondly the employee from the back came out to "answer" our questions, which he also was offended we were inquiring about a set that came out 6 weeks ago. He informed us we were "6 weeks late". He then proceeded to tell us incorrect information about the sets. Which feels was done on purpose. Pricing? These are scalpers, unauthorized resellers. These are the kind of people that weigh/scan packs and open all the hits. They were showing us set boxes with the shrink wrap missing, but were selling it to us at scalper pricing. (Meaning they weren't doing that thing were target rips open the shrink wrap so only collectors buy)

This place is located on the same block where they filmed the church wedding scene in the retro 80's music video ( RIP MTV) for the song " Jeopardy" by the San Francisco based band Greg Kihn band. On an Autumn stroll what is considered a San Francisco Summer month I went to a store which has been selling nostalgia merchandise and current popular culture figures and collectibles for over 20 years in the Mission Dolores area of San Francisco and it's called Super 7. Stepping inside Super 7 and you have entered another fantasy universe where you see all types of monsters , hero's , villains , and animation characters in SF. Even the wall paper of Super 7 has Star War icons such as Boba Fett to Darth Vader. This place has Halloween action figures year round like Dracula and Wolf man along with retro Halloween masks. They have action figures of music acts such as Daft Punk, OutKast, MF Doom, and other musical performers. They sell merchandise from Peanuts to Sesame Street. They also have t-shirts for classics such as Power Rangers , and SpongeBob SquarePants. Super 7 has Japanese toys and novelties inside. This place is a Halloween celebration letter to San Francisco because everyday is Halloween in San Francisco especially in the Mission District. I went to the block in the Mission District were I lived as a kid and as a "teen" where everyday is like "Halloween" go to Super 7 which is located on "Sixteen" with the streets of Guerrero and Dolores in "between" Inside the Super 7 has some unique toy figures from movies and "television" and famous bands that make songs that are popular to " listen" with some toy releases which are limited "edition" they have many collectibles all in one unique store in the heart of the "Mission"
