My husband came out with a Cooper Flag rookie card. The gentlemen were all friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere. We are mos def coming again!! Five stars all around!

Store is stocked and has access to pre orders sometimes from what I've seen so that's nice. Someone who seemed like the manager or owner answered all my questions about new Pokemon and DBZ tcg sets but seemed somewhat annoyed with the questions, but maybe it was just an off-day that day. Other than that, very nice store.

Stan runs a wonderful shop and I recommend especially to those who play One Piece to come here. The player pool is competitive yet friendly and has both variety and casual players. New players feel welcomed and there are experienced judges and staff who can coach and give advice. They are well stocked in most booster sets, deck sleeves, card storage and have a range of cards from commons to limited prints of cards with high rarity.

Stumbled across Bards & Cards as my partner they don't and I had an hour to kill before our dinner…read morereservation. I have been to Gaslamp many times before but never noticed this location. The shop had a wide selection of board games at the front, some books along the shelves, crafting supplies for painting, figurines, and a tabletop play area in the back. There was a tabletop tournament for Magic the Gathering the day I went. The tables were all full and everyone was having a great time. My partner I had recently picked up Wingspan and have been enjoying it a lot so I wanted to pick up another board game for duos. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful here - they answered all the questions I had on board games I was looking for as well as gave me their own personal recommendations. We quickly picked up the 7 Wonders Duel board game and are very excited to test it out. Price is slightly higher than Amazon but worth it to support this business. Highly recommend Bards & Cards and will definitely be coming back.

This place is really cool! We visited for the painting station for our dnd figures, we were a group…read moreof 4 and there was room for all of us. We paid for the day pass and we able to utilize the entire space while we were there. They have tons and tons of games you can sits and play , a calendar of activities and stuff they have going on and like I mentioned the painting station. There is even a little retail section where they sell stuff for gaming and games themselves. A day pass was only $8 per person which we thought was a great value , and the staff were helpful and knowledgeable. It's located in a big shopping center with more parking than it could ever need which is nice also

Visited twice in two days on our couples get-a-way. We first came to look at their selection of…read moregames, but really noticed their library selection! We returned the next day and played 4 (shorts) games. Great library of old and new games. Great selection of deep complex strategy, medium, and light games, including some great rare fans out of print. $8 all day is a better price than the $10 I am used to playing in Sacramento (a game shop running a similar concept).

I recently went in and for things like Pokemon they're selling Prismatic SPCs for over $400 and packs of Perfect Order and Chaos Rising for $12. Scalper charge less. Overpriced.

Thank you to Corey for the suggestions, we are so excited to start our new games!…read more We came in here looking for good two player games and solo rpg games. The selection is decent, though a little limited. They seemed to be out of some things but that's okay. We started browsing looking at simple games. Corey asked if he could help and we told him what we were looking for. He said the one we were holding, Rebel Princess, was really fun and he had played it himself. we decided to snag that. He then recommended us Forest Shuffle as a fun game for us too, little does he know that animals like bugs and birds are my entire personality. Such a good read on his part. We loved the game he pitched and took that as well. He showed us around the shop and where to find some amazing used and vintage books (very cool little selection) and where everything else is located. He also suggested me a solo rpg which I will be coming to get! Super thankful for the nice staff and amazing store!
