They do have One Piece, Magic and Pokemon cards as well as TCGs as well. Their calendar is also stacked with all sorts of different TCG events. The staff here are knowledgeable and professional. They do offer snacks, cup noodles, and a variety of beverages to enjoy while you are there. In addition, they have dice, mats, deck boxes, sleeves, and other TCG accessories that you may need. The prices here are very fair and they also buy cards for a fair deal too. The set up here is nice and they have plenty of room to browse and walk around, they have several long tables with chairs to accommodate those who want to play or host events. Overall a great TCG store in Tacoma and definitely one to check out if you're into Magic, Pokemon, One Piece or others!

I can't say enough great things about them. If you have stop buy check them out. They are the best!!!

Especially in these days with card shortages everywhere, these guys have pulled through. They were still working on their online shop when I went in, but that's ok! My first time walking in I was greeted by the sports card workers, and they politely showed me the side for Pokémon. Amazing!! Boxes and boxes of stocked up ETB's, promo boxes, and tins. It was just like being a kid again! The places was bustling on a Saturday evening, and there were many kids in the shop buying things as well. After a sale, I couldn't help but notice the sales attendant threw in some extra cards in for free! As well as for me once I told them it was my first time coming in! After some recommendations for a new collector, I walked out with a Celebrations ETB (Very hard to find for a decent price nowadays!) and a couple free card storage boxes as well. An amazing store, with an inviting atmosphere for new collectors and players alike!! Will highly recommend this store in the future!

15% Board Game Store is an absolute gem in Tacoma! I love supporting small local businesses, and…read morethis one goes above and beyond by sourcing many of their products locally. One of my favorite features is their section dedicated to board games created by local designers. It's such a unique way to discover new games while supporting the local gaming community. The selection is fantastic, whether you're looking for family games, strategy games, party games, or something more niche. They also have drinks and snacks available, making it easy to spend a few hours there. There are plenty of tables to play at, and I really appreciate that you can reserve one ahead of time if you're planning a game night. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is knowledgeable, and it's clear they care about creating a great community space. Highly recommend stopping by if you're anywhere near Tacoma!

This of course led my husband and I through a sea of nostalgia and the kids watching endless "card pull" videos. This was our first time at Metro, and my 6 year old son was lead by destiny to find the coveted "God pack" or golden Charizard (his words, not mine). While the kids "ohhh'd and ahhh'd" over the cards and played their hand at the claw machines - I asked the guy working for the info on the different packs. He was so patient and sweet to my 5 year old daughter who was a tad too energetic and excited, and the boys who acted as if we were looking at the answer to world peace through a glass case. He was full of knowledge, answered questions about uncommon Pokemon, and let my son pick out which of the Pokemon boxes he felt was "lucky". In a time where my kid has to compete with adults to even get the chance for a Pokemon machine to release a few items... always leaving empty handed because they emptied it out as he stood behind them in line... you made my kids day. Thank you Conner, for making our first trip there so special.

Unfortunately, I never got to see the Lorcana binder as my boyfriend never pointed it out and assumed I knew where it was. But that just means we can come visit again some other time. My boyfriend was able to score the Lorwyn commander decks for $80 which is a steal! The staff here seem very friendly and helpful. They always checked to see if any customers, including us, needed any help looking for anything. They also give kids a booster pack as one of their regulars will come in and buy a booster box for the staff members to hand out a Pokemon booster to any young child that walks in. They also told me that the store is dog friendly as long as they are well behaved and on a leash. The store seems to be divided for those looking for sports cards and memorabilia and the other section focusing on TCGs such as Pokemon, Lorcana, Magic, and more. They have great stock of sleeves, mats, and other TCG needs. Additionally, they have plenty of tables and chairs for their TCG events.

They weren't friendly when answering my questions and kind of looked at me as if I was incompetent. One employee was nice, but they were newly hired. Everyone else didn't seem friendly too. The place has a lot of TCG cards, whether it's for sports or etc. If you're expecting to sell or trade your cards, do not expect a fair deal! They will for sure give you way less money/credit than the product is worth. Anyways, great products that they have, but customer service is below average.

I visited their location in…read morePuyallup frequently, and often told my friends about them due to their vibe and their helpful staff. Unfortunately, since then, I have placed an online order, and have not been provided my product or my money for months now. I ordered in August, waited a week, called to ask where my product was, and was told "Oh, you missed our cutoff. Your order won't be shipped until September 15th". Weird, because I didn't see that when I ordered my product, but maybe I made a mistake. However, I found out a friend of mine ordered a day AFTER me, and wasn't cutoff and was able to pickup their order from the store the next week. So, this felt deceitful. I waited until the middle of September, and still had no product. I inquired with the owner. He stated that they were having issues at their store and sent it out the day before. So, again, I waited. Still, no product. I contacted the owner again. He tells me that there were some returned and he would check the following Monday. (I verified the address... no issues there, so I find this to be odd and untruthful). He made no contact that Monday, so I reached out again. I let him know I was disappointed and that a lot of this is absolutely not okay or appropriate. The manager/business owner, Jesus A., has not responded to me since the beginning of October of this year. Want to go in to address your customer concerns? Their business isn't open on the displayed hours, and good luck getting a call back to ask questions. I would have loved to give this place 5 stars, but I can not in good faith rate any higher than a one for a business owner that steals from his customers, and addresses reviews on Yelp (see the first one posted on 4/7...so unfortunate) with selecting "funny", instead of providing appropriate customer service. I encourage you to find a shop that will care about experience whether you are a first time customer or returning customer.
