What got me back to memory lane was Magic the Gathering. They have a couple of table set for some Magic and there were a couple of people playing. The store is fairly large and stock all imaginable cards there is. With a quick Google search, I wish I had kept my White Winnie deck, mostly Revised edition.

They have what my son was looking for and some extra cool stuff too. They had a variety but was surprise to find the Mega Venusaur ex trading cards. What i got excited is that the pricing was very reasonable and cheaper than Amazon. Another reason why I would highly recommend this place is their awesome service, the owner made it extra specially by giving my son a freebie. Although he didnt know how much my son was patient about it he somehow made it valuable for my son that patience pays off. It was an amazing experience for both my son and for myself. I highly recommend this store.

So after attending our first card show, my beautiful wife and I were excited to check out TGC…read moreshops. Unfortunately this place wasn't it. First of all not ADA friendly, on the second floor, cramped, and very uncomfortable environment. We were greeted warmly at first, but then guy at the counter, said some condescending words to my wife. When she asked about One Piece sets and learning how to play, he said, " Follow us on Discord, you know what that is right?" She immediately clapped back at him and said, "yep surprisingly I do, and I use social media all the time." So if you want to be treated with disrespect, and treated like you should be cooking in the kitchen, and be a 1950's house wife, well then this is the place for you! A place of bad body odor, cramped spaces and sexist remarks, from this ignorant caveman. - 0/10 Overall: A terrible experience. Do yourself a favor and hit up other shops in Martinez, like DVY Collectibles LLC, much better customer service and very ADA friendly.

The staff were not only disorganized, but they were also extremely rude. They muttered insults under their breath, condescended to customers, and even went so far as to fake attendance numbers. When I called them out in their Discord, they responded with outright aggression. This is completely unacceptable. Professionalism and respect should be the bare minimum in customer service, and they failed on every count. I will not be returning, and I urge others to think twice before supporting this store.

About a year ago, I walked into this store out of curiosity while they were hosting an event. It…read morewas packed with tables full of people playing different tabletop games I didn't recognize. Immediately, a staff member greeted me and introduced me to a group of people, encouraging me to exchange information with them. I was a bit too shy to join in that night, but I really appreciated the effort. You gotta love a place that goes that far to make a "noob" feel included. During a more recent visit without all the tables of people, it's still a cozy store with a warm and inviting environment. Upon walking in, I could tell the staff genuinely enjoyed being there. As I was browsing, a staff member told me about their puzzle trade. For a few bucks, you can trade the old puzzles you own with a selection of their used puzzles. I'll definitely be making the most of this deal. This is an Oakland gem that I can't recommend enough. If you're looking for a kind and welcoming community, this is a great one. I'll definitely be returning.

Great people. Very friendly and inviting…read more I hadn't played D&D since I was 13 and wanted to start again, I'm in my 50's. I didn't know anyone who was playing as that activity had dropped out of my circle a very long time ago. I walked in and asked if there were any groups for beginners. They took my name and number and said they would call when a game was starting. Sure enough a couple weeks later they called. I met up with the DM and three other people who were all veterans but made it very easy for me to start over. Great group and the people behind the counter are always happy to answer questions or help you find something.

This is my first time going to a cafe where you can play board games with your friends and other…read morepeople. They charge you $8 per person for you to gain access to any board games from the shelves you want to play and you can stay here as long as you like until they're closed. You can also ask to reserve a table and buy one of their game passes to save money! The place is very hectic here. There were many people playing board games with their friends. There weren't many options for me to sit. I didn't want to sit outside. So, I decided to sit indoors. Some of the tables were reserved and some reserved ones are open to patrons who are not part of the reservations until a certain time. For example, I sat at a reserved table until close to 2:30pm, which is when reserved customers will take over the table. There are plenty of food options here: sandwiches, pizzas, pastries, and cafe drinks. There are all sorts of menus there too if you take a look at the chalkboard. One of them happens to be a schedule of activities. I didn't participate in gaming tabletops, but I did try out of their sandwiches and their cafe drinks. The turkey sandwich is good and honey lavender latte tastes sweet. My drink came here 10 minutes more than my sandwich, which is quite odd, because usually sandwiches take longer to prep. Not only that, but drinks take way longer to prep, which I don't know why. I like how the sandwich is prepped with chips sitting at the middle of the silver plate surrounded by sandwich slices. Overall, the experience is great with many people playing board games. I probably should take one of my friends to play board games for experience and get pizza even when I never play board games for years. It'd be an awesome experience!

I got the Turkey to Ride sandwich (4.5/5), which was tasty and satisfying, and came with chips on the side. I also got a matcha latte with oat milk (4/5) that had subtle flavor. They allowed us to bring our own cake and provided us with plates and utensils. I also saw students studying here as well. Overall, a nice chill vibe with a vast selection of board games!

The parking lot is pretty small, but we found a spot easily. When you walk in there's a lot to look at. Near the door there is a wall of board games as well as some plush items. We had so much fun looking at the dice at the counter, they have a great selection including some metal dice and I loved a pair the was pearlescent. The prices range widely but they're all really cool. They also carry items from local makers like jewelry, make up, potion bottles, fidgets, and other little cute items. I saw a bunch of 3D printed items too. The second glass case has cards on display for collectors. I didn't look at them too closely but I saw a lot of holographic which is always cool. On the other side of the store is an area with a bunch of tables where people were having fun playing games together. That area takes up a little under half of the store. It seemed like a fun spot to come with friends. The staff members were really friendly and helpful as well. It was fun learning about the store and their offerings and I'm sure we'll be back soon.
