There was a limit on how many packs we could buy 3 per set, per person. I went and bought 3, my husband went up to go buy another three. Brian said, "No, she already bought 3." My husband told him, "Yeah that's her. I didn't buy three." Brian said, "If people keep lying we're just not going to do this on Saturdays anymore." Moral of the story. Brian's not very nice, which is a shame because Lance and the other owner are wonderful.

I came in for the first time to buy a…read moreChristmas gift (a specific trading card) and new this was the perfect spot to grab what I was looking forward. The staff were helpful and nice. It was a little crowded with other customers and a game (maybe tournament?) taking place at the tables inside. Which was no issue. I was able to find what I need, pay, and head out. I didn't pay as much as I anticipated for what I was looking for, which was nice. All the more reason why I appreciate shopping small businesses and locally when I can. I would recommend this store AND shop again if I needed to buy any more trading cards.

If Sacramento ever needed a new motto (we've gone from "City of the Trees" to "Farm‑to‑Fork"), I'd…read morenominate "Good Enough." With so many State employees, "good enough for government work" fits a little too well. We've gained better boba spots since the pandemic, though still not at the Bay Area level. And from all the Bay Area people that I've met, they like Sac's housing prices, but miss their favorite restaurants. The Bay Area also has better board‑game cafes, but after my visit to Galaxy Game Cafe, I can say this one feels right at home, and that's good enough in the best possible way. (If you don't know, there's been a trend of Bay Area people moving to Sac). My friend suggested we check it out; he'd been before and enjoyed it. My first impression, was the "X" in "Galaxy" cleverly mimicking an X‑wing. Inside, a gallery of Star Wars 3.75" figures greeted us, with display cases thoughtfully placed throughout the store. It's a fun theme, and the shop fully embraces its geeky niche. A quick glance around the room revealed a game-focused layout. I was surprised because when I hear "cafe," I usually picture coffee, pastries, and light lunch options. If you just want a snack, Galaxy Game Cafe has you covered although there's no blue milk offered. My desire for more food variety was quickly forgotten once I looked at their game selection. I've been to game cafes where pieces are missing, boxes are dirty, or things are disorganized; the kind of place where you end up focusing more on your food than the game. Here, it was the opposite. I enjoyed my snacks and the games. In my small sample size (Dice Forge and Kronologic), everything felt like new. Out of curiosity, I checked Heat for expansions, but they seem to stick to base games, and again, everything looked liked like new. After we finished playing, I placed our games on the return shelf and realized they care enough to check. I appreciated the care they put into maintaining a good gaming experience- isn't that good enough? If you are in the area, I highly recommend them! They also list their board game collection on BGG: https://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/GalaxyGameCafe

At first I was skeptical based on past game store places and that most of the highly advertised…read moreevents were not my genre and that they all came with entry fees visiting this place changed my mind. I appreciated the diversity of genres from heavy to light and social games as well as strategy games (I don't like when other places have only light or party games!). We stayed the entire time for Twilight Imperium and were treated well. They didn't rush us out at close as other places do. They allow outside food where others don't. Price is actually reasonable considering their library and the people there are plentiful and diverse too. I haven't tried going to open gaming events where you mingle but can consider that in the future. They host their own monthly Twilight Imperium which I might try out in the future when I am free on the weekend!

There's plenty of other events whether it be Magic, Pokemon, DnD, or any number of other games. I highly recommend this store for anyone who is interested in getting into a trading card game or just finding a group of people to play with. Additionally, the play area is in a slightly separate area from the main storefront which I think makes it more approachable if you are just shopping and if you're in the play area it feels like a place you can hangout.

The owner is rude to my friend via DMs, doesn't know how to price Bandai TCG product and MOSTLY is just hungry for the money. That's very unprofessional, petty-like, and you're really making it hard to get product if you're going to scalp a single flipping deck. That's not how business works. If you're planning to put product at that price range, I suggest do your research more carefully by looking at recent sales on TCGPlayer or EBay. NOT putting at a price that you really want. $50? I'm not buying that. And you really told my friend not to show up/participate if you want to leave it at $50? That's very ridiculous. It's $20-35, my dude. FOR A DECK. Nope.

In my original post, I was waiting for my OP-05 pre-order (2 cases) and had trusted them since they…read moredid me solid for OP-04. Fast forward to Jan 2025, I decided to request a refund because it seemed like there was no end in sight in regards to ever receiving my pre-order. Store kept saying they expect shipment but provided no visibility and I only got this information after I reached out 5+ months later (they never send updates). On January 2025, the store said they put me in a queue for refunds and that a "handful" of people were in front of me. After waiting for about a month, I reached out again on Feb 2025 and only after multiple emails did they respond back saying they haven't reached me in the queue (no visibility on where I stand in the queue or how long it will take). Fast forward to March and April, they just flat out ignore all my emails sent in March and have yet to get back to me. The lack of response and long time it is taking to get a refund leads me to believe the following: 1. Intentionally ignoring me (if they aren't, they do a terrible job of communicating) 2. My pre-order money was spent elsewhere which is why they can't refund me right away. 3. They are possibly leading me on with false promise of refund by have no intentions of doing so. TLDR: Store has scammed me out of a couple thousand dollars as of this post. Would not recommend purchasing anything from here because of bad customer service and lack of communication. I have reported to BBB and FTC to get my money back from these people. Also reported to State Attorney General Consumer Affairs as well. Recommend that other people who are in this situation do as well.
