Wanted give this spot the chance. Have been going around reviewing and testing out card shop. Came…read moreacross this spot, took a slab earlier and some cards. Sold the same slab for $170 got low balled for $110. Didn't mind it, I let it slide because they have to make money I guess. Got store credit, got 4 buddle boxes. Ascending hero and prismatic bundle were clearly resealed. Went back and confronto and let him know about. The wrapping was off and cards on the set were flipped. The worst part was that home boy tried schooling me like I was stupid Buddy was overwhelmed with people. Took the L on this one. Definitely not coming back. Got robed $300 for sure. Figure it was a trash spot, it is El Monte after all lol.

This store is one of the most amazing places that you can visit in Pasadena. If you love…read morecollectibles, vintage toys, board games, cards, etc. You'll find all types to find here. Staff here is great. They're friendly and very informative which is always a nice sight to see for newcomers. In the back, you'll find many tables where people visit to play all types of games. Ranging from board games, cards, DnD, and list goes on. Best part is that you can try all types of games for free. My wife and I visited with some friends and we had such a wonderful time playing board games. Time flew by so fast as we were all having fun. I'd say the tables could use some cleaning but very spacious overall. Parking is out in the back but it's pretty limited. Street parking is also available but watch out for time slots. Overall, very happy about Odyssey Games, very much a must visit spot if you love board games. Place can get packed as you'll often find plenty of people here. Love to visit again soon to try new board games.

I've been here a couple of times over the years. My sister and brother-in-law, who both went to…read moreCaltech and are huge board game geeks, recommended it. A few weeks ago I was looking to get some games to play with my family. My sister gave me 3 recommendations (Ito, Things in Rings, Hot Streak). I walked in and, after taking a few rounds through the densely stocked rows and shelves, and, not finding any of them, asked for help. They had two of the games so I got them. We've played Things with Rings (basically figuring out Venn diagram categories) several times at family game night and are starting to get the hang of it. It's a large shop (especially for games and figurines), and they host events too. Definitely a fun place to browse and get new games.

Background On Visit: I attended my first card show last month and decided that I wanted to relive my childhood again. This time around I made up my mind that I'm just collecting. Not playing.

I was in the neighborhood walking around and walked into this store. I did not purchase anything,…read morebut all the staff members we've encountered were very well versed in the hobby. They were extremely friendly and provided me with some insight into this hobby. There were a lot of figurines available, and supplies to paint them. They hold sessions that do not crossover to local shops nearby (Odyssey games, geeky teas, Pegasus, etc.). This is one of 3 Warhammer cafes and the displays they have on the floor come from the European countries. They only sale and allow Warhammer related items in the store. They have some tables where people can play for free and use their space for any social gatherings for Warhammer. They host events here and there for people to learn or gain knowledge in this world. They also have a little Cafe inside where you can get some desserts and drinks. The figurines are costly and this is a very expensive hobby. Even though I didnt purchase anything, they were all very friendly and didnt force us to purchase anything. I believe their intent is to educate people in the art of RPGs and the amazing skills it takes to paint and create figurines. No judgments are given to those who walk into the store.

Great value, great prices, and awesome vibe, and the shop is well taken care of. Great ownership! Bring your kids here if you're looking for a local shop.

Was able to pick up so packs, a storage container , a playmat and some Disney exclusive ears ! Everything was great can't wait to come back.

I'm an avid buyer and they are always super nice and offering me great deals when buying their pops. When going to Frank & Sons you should definitely stop by their stand.

I wish they had their own store so I can visit more than just Wednesdays & Saturdays.
