Davis Cards and Games is a great place to get board games, trading cards, and build community. I've…read morebeen going to their weekly Riftbound night for a couple of months and always have a great time when I go. 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.

It was my first time going to the Davis Location while we were doing a family loop of game stores…read moreand it did not disappoint. Great location, if you're a student with game interests. They have a great collection of Warhammer, paints, Magic the Gathering, Pokemon and an area to play games. Through our game loop, both Mad Alpacas (Fairfield and Davis) have a variety of collections with their 40K and Sigmar compared to a lot of stores outside the area. The guys in front were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful with their products. Product packs throughout any game stores will vary with pricing but in order for a standing store to survive there will be some slight variances with msrp throughout. So if you're looking for deals and steals, you may find something cheaper elsewhere or online. However, if you're wanting to build a community with inclusivity, this is a great store. My kiddos have gone to both Mad Alpacas and have been welcomed (even if they're annoying, energetic, because let's face it, kids and teens can be, the guys up front have been patient and kind.)

They truly have something here for everyone, and it's one of the last places you can get a print newspaper. You should bring cash if you can - newspaper sales cost more to process on card - and be prepared to be in some tight corners, because they really make good use of the space. Sadly, they no longer stock Jellycats, but it is what it is.

They have things for both boys and girls but the main room is mostly all for girls. The second room to the left has a lot of toys and boy clothing. It's not just baby stuff either, they have plenty of larger sizes for big kids too! It can be a bit pricey - I ended up spending nearly $75 for one outfit, a bow, and a little book, but I'm familiar with the brands and I knew it would be high quality (highly recommend anything bamboo fabric...softest thing ever!). I'm happy to spend that extra price tag if it's going toward a local small business too. Everything here would make such a cute gift and the items are more unique than something you'd find at a big box store.
