I had a disappointing experience with this shop. When I called to ask if they had specific TCG products in stock, I was told, in what came across as a rude manner, to "just come in" instead of simply answering the question. Unfortunately, this has happened more than once. On several visits, the staff appeared to be focused on playing games rather than helping customers, which made me feel like my business wasn't a priority. Customer service goes a long way, and I hope they improve how they interact with customers. Personally, I'd rather support shops like Paper Hero Comics, where I've consistently been treated with kindness, respect, and genuine customer service. read more

Excellent shop with very helpful and knowledgeable staff who are very honest and personable. Great experience across the board!

I am extremely disappointed with the environment this TCG shop allows. A gaming store should be a place where players of all ages and skill levels can enjoy the hobby, learn, and have fun. Instead, what I witnessed was a toxic atmosphere where bullying and harassment appeared to be tolerated.There is an individual named Matt who, from what I observed and heard from others, repeatedly belittles and embarrasses another player simply because of the deck they choose to play. It goes beyond normal competitive banter. The behavior included yelling, mocking, and encouraging others to stop playing with that person. Watching a group of people gang up on a single player was uncomfortable and completely against the spirit of any gaming community. What is even more concerning is that the store seemed willing to allow this behavior to continue. A business that hosts tournaments and community events has a responsibility to ensure that all customers feel welcome and respected. Allowing an adult to repeatedly bully another player sends the message that intimidation and harassment are acceptable.No player should be made to feel excluded, humiliated, or targeted for simply playing a legal deck in a card game. If this is the type of environment the store supports, then it is not a community I would recommend to others. The staff should take these issues seriously and create a more respectful atmosphere for everyone who walks through the door. I have video of what occurred and intend to share it publicly so that others can see the situation for themselves and form their own opinions. Rather than relying on rumors or secondhand accounts, people will be able to view the events as they happened. read more

went in yesterday to buy my boyfriend some cards for mtg and all the staff immediately greeted us with smiles! All the cards were a great price and the staff was super helpful and willing to answer all our questions i highly recommend coming here if you're new to the hobby! me and my boyfriend will definitely be back read more

Confused at first because location is in the middle of an industrial area. Store space is large. Came into get One Piece Cards. There are many brands of trading games available. Lately they have been selling out of One Piece packs. read more

Service on the phone is terrible super rude I called them over the phone to ask them a couple questions and after my first question he just says "gotta go" and hangs up the phone. I called them back a second time and he does the same thing after I ask another question. Terrible service whoever is on the phone needs to go. read more

Not sure why this place doesn't have more reviews; it's literally the best gaming store in SCV. I've been to a couple others locally, but none compare to the customer service and community I've experienced here. They're super nice and have a large selection of cards, playmats, sleeves and deck boxes. I'd say prices are fair. Not as cheap as online, but I'm paying extra to support a local brick and mortar, plus I don't have to wait for shipping. Win-win! I highly recommend coming in for FNM since the place is always poppin' and is a great spot to just hang with friends...and if you're lucky, you'll get to see Kami the store pug! read more

I am a relatively new player to MTG and Luna has been so helpful, patient, and friendly to introduce the game to me and how to play well. He gives me great ideas on how I can build my decks and he has a large collection of singles. This is definitely my go-to store. Everyone who plays here are also friendly and welcoming. Kami (his dog) is also a great joy to see. read more

Came to a tournament hosted here. The staff was great and the games were well run and organized. The store was clean and very well organized, and it seemed like they had a good variety of product. I was especially impressed that they had multiple bathrooms AND separate womens' and mens' restrooms! (4 total, 2 each). To me, this felt like they are welcoming to everyone, since oftentimes females are a little less likely to be at a game store. Extra bonus, they have the cutest and sweetest little puppy...she is so gentle and my 5 year old who is scared of dogs had a wonderful time petting her! read more

Bad location and bad vibes. Every time I come I feel very unwelcome. I've never seen any women inside here beside myself.

My wife and I come here all the time to hangout. Owner is very kind and personable and the workers are always willing to help and chat! Love the ambiance and gaming culture here, people are genuinely looking to have a great time and foster an atmosphere that is welcoming and warm. Definitely recommend! read more

Great place to play mtg and so many other games. Super welcoming and easy to come in and hop into a game of commander. highly recommend.

This is a really great store for new Magic players. As a new player, I felt really out of my depth at first, but the owner actually took time to sit down and show me how to play (correctly). The workers are knowledgeable and I've been able to build an even better commander deck thanks to the kindness of everyone I've met. Definitely recommend coming here if you are even thinking about getting into Magic! read more

I drive an hour to come game here and I have a local store 10 minutes away from me. That should speak volumes to how great this gaming store is. Great staff and great tournaments. Go visit and spend your cold hard cash here. read more

This place is honestly wonderful. I've been going here for years but haven't had the time to write a review so here goes! Everyone here makes sure you're taken of no matter what. Best part is there are no strangers here. I've since moved away from the area so I can't frequent any more and haven't been back in about two years. But soon as I went back this past week Luna and everyone who works there still remembers me! Thanks for everything guys and soon as I'm back in So Cal, you better believe I'll be making space in the trip to visit here too! read more

Staff are great, and the community at the store is awesome. Good prices on sealed magic products, and Warhammer 40k models. Has very quickly become my favorite local game store. read more

Great store, very knowledgeable and friendly staff, definitely a must visit if you are into board games or card games. 100% worth checking out for yourselves. read more

Best local game store. Awesome experience all around, especially for MTG. The staff are all very knowledge and generous with their time. They really go above and beyond anytime I need help with building a commander deck. Always a welcoming and fun environment here. I highly recommend this place, they really care about their customers! read more

This place has the perfect men to women ratio. I don't know how they do it. It's quite refreshing tbh.

Hands down the best card shop in the area! Affordable prices amazing staff and a selection of hard to find singles! Fell in love at first sight with the place and I am slowly but surely returning weekly to enjoy it. This shop has amazing floor space! No more playing in cramped over filled card shops for me. If your a magic player this spot is the best. Don't believe me. GO CHECK IT OUT!!! read more

Tapped Out Gaming - Check out the table space! - Hobby Shops Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

I don't know the first thing about today's games, however my 14-year-old son is an expert (or so he says). I brought him to Tapped Out Gaming after reading the positive reviews on Yelp, and we have been coming for Friday Night Magic there ever since. The employees are very patient, straightforward and honest. They allow him to ask as many questions as he wants to, and they often geek out discussing the different cards and playing strategies. They hold several different types of Magic tournaments, and it is clear to me they genuinely enjoy what they do and aren't in business to take advantage of their customers. While it isn't the most attractive shop I've ever been in (it is in fact, rather plain), they know their stuff, provide a nice gaming environment, and we are happy to give them our business. read more

If you play MTG this is the store you always wanted to find. Huge selection, owner knows MTG extremely well and supports Standard singles stock as well as extremely fair prices for the inventory. Tournaments are highly attended, Kaladesh pre-release was absolutely packed. Best singles prices you'll find, beats Amazon on many items. I will be doing my MTG shopping here before I go online. Great store, even carries energy drinks. #FercPoloSealOfApproval read more

I believe tapped out is the single best destination for Magic in all of Santa Clarita. The staff is well versed in the game, and always willing to go above and beyond to help you understand the rules, build decks, and make recommendations on things that may be useful to you. Unlike other game stores, The owners are genuinely friendly and welcoming, and seem to avoid the classic pitfalls of nerd-dom like sexism and bigotry that can pervade the community. The interior is a little spartan, but it leaves more room to get more players into the store and into the game, which is always good. The atmosphere is casual and fun, with the elitism that can be found in other game stores left at the door. I can't say enough as to the quality, knowledgeability, and accessibility of the staff and merchandise. That being said, the bathrooms are a god-damned war crime. This is more due to the customers than the owners, I imagine, but something needs to be done. The customers (mostly males, from what I have seen) all use the women's bathroom because it is the closest one in the hallway. They rarely flush, and I don't think I have ever heard a sink being used. It is all around pretty gross in there. If I had to do my biological business here, I think I would take my chances outside. Overall, if you want to play magic or talk shop with the knowledgeable and friendly players and staff, Tapped Out is the go-to destination in Santa Clarita, worth the drive even from canyon country. Just make sure you use the bathroom at home before you show up. read more

Professional, great space, amazing people, great customer service, wide selection of cards, prices that can't be beat, well organized tournaments and events, and there's always nice people hanging out to play and trade. This store sets the bar and is a great nexus of the Magic community. You can probably tell from all the five star reviews and novel-length reviews happy customers have left that this place rocks. read more

I love this store a lot. My boyfriend and I frequent it when we need our magic fix. The staff is friendly and helpful. Its easy going and a great place to feel comfortable. I only have one problem. Please please please clean your bathrooms! Its really uncomfortable in that war zone. Love this place to death, just take care of it guys. read more

When I played Magic! Best magic store in town! Come check this place out! Haven't been in here for awhile, as I stopped playing magic, but I'm sure it's still the best store read more

Great friendly staff and some of the best deals in tcg merch. Always fun to come in for Commander and Modern nights.

Magic the Gathering fans rejoice! Santa Clarita recently welcomed Tapped Out Gaming as your soon to be favorite card shop and lounge. It's a place where Magic players can buy cards, sell cards, play games, compete in tournaments, meet new people, and have an overall good time! They host a wide variety of games such as standard, limited(draft), EDH(elder dragon highlander/commander), Sealed(5pack deck). You can test your skills in weekly tournaments and casual play days. They have a huge selection of cards and card packs to choose from, as well as other gaming gear (matts, dice, folders, cases, etc). And if you're looking to sell your cards, they buy them as well. The store also has an ample space for anyone to come and play with friends. Tapped Out Gaming is hosting a grand opening May 18th, which features a big tournament and prize giveaways. The store is conveniently located across Magic Mountain, in the industrial center. It's a quiet and safe area with plenty of conveniences nearby. Come check it out! Old and new players of all ages welcome! read more

Drove here from Burbank on a Sunday. They were closed against their normal store hours. Waited around an hour. No one came. I called the store, as expected, no answer. read more

Great place. Nice store, friendly staff, competitive pricing, great space to play. Everything a card shop should be.

Good selection of singles but completely took the fun out of the war of the spark pre release for me. As a returning player to magic I was excited and stayed up til midnight excited to buy a pre release set and a booster boxes and when I arrived they wouldn't sell me either because I didn't want to play at midnight in their event. Booster boxes apparently sold out and refused to sell me a release kit without playing which makes no sense. I didn't really want to learn how to play at midnight and if you don't want the new customer and couple hundred in sales (I was going to buy multiple booster boxes, a release kit and some other singles) fine with me. Not to mention I was in a few days prior asking about events and no one asked, mentioned, or told me to sign up and or pre-order anything. So a total waste of my night and excitement, and will definitely take my purchases to a more accommodating store in the area. Update: Luna the owner reach out and was very accommodating and wonderful and really cares about their customers and really helped make the situation and experience great! It's hard to find great customer service and people who really care and Luna really does. I would definitely recommend this shop! read more

I come here for their smash bros weekly tournaments and they're always a blast. I much prefer coming here every Sunday to play than I do nights out at a bar. The community here is friendly and supportive and the owner is incredibly nice! The atmosphere has a vibe where you feel you've known the community forever. You can ask players questions about just about anything they're always happy to help. Tournaments are well organized and relaxed compared to others I have attended. Store is well maintained and clean. HIGHLY recommend this place to any fellow smash bros players or card game enthusiasts. read more

Best card shop in the valley by far. Great service, great people, constant tournaments and very cheap prices. The staff is super helpful and thinks about the customer before the profit every time. If you're into MtG, Vanguard, or any other card game, stop by and hang out. read more

First time in and was treated very kindly. A newb to the game and was overdosed with help and advice. Thanks guys!!!

Great place to play and great stocks. Friendly workers and owner there to help you.

Tapped Out Gaming is my place to go for all things Magic: The Gathering. Whether you are looking for sealed product, or that last card for your EDH deck,, the staff of Tapped Out will be more than happy to help you out. They also host regular events throughout the week. Wednesday Drafts and Friday Night Magic have been standing events, but it looks like they try to accommodate all different styles on the other days, shifting the types of events each month. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about all things MTG. I went into the shop for the first time knowing nothing about the game and they were able to help me get started with my own deck and begin my addiction to a great game. Overall an awesome place to shop and a great place to hang out and play some games! read more

After playing MTG for 12 years when it first came out, I am returning to it after an 8 year hiatus. Imagine my delight to find this store 5 to 10 mins from where I live in Castaic. They have a great selection of cards for sale, of course boosters and many large tables in the back to play on. They are open late, host Friday Night Magic and other tournaments usually at least one or more a week. The staff is knowledgable and friendly and don't seem to mind answering a ton of questions I have about the new cards and rule changes since I used to play. They welcome new and old players along with the people that hang out and play there, it makes for a very fun experience. If you live in the area or close come down and bring your cards and your game face, have some fun. 5 star rating, not least deserved by the fact that they concentrate 95% on MTG... Great place! read more

After being to multiple game shops across southern California, I can say without any hesitation that Tapped Out Gaming is the best when it comes to friendly and knowledgeable staff, great card selection, and a great store environment. Prices are outstanding and competitive, tournaments are run smoothly and consistently, and the community of players there are great too. Do yourself a favor, if you're looking for a great store, come here first. read more

They have a friendly staff. They have a wide selection of singles at a fair price. FNM and game day tournaments are competitive.

Best card store in the valley. The staff treats you like a person, not a number, they have fair prices, and there is almost always someone to battle. read more
