Its a scrappy store smack dab in the middle of Los Angeles with ample and FREE play space for TCGs, Board Games, and Mini War Games. They mostly stock Magic: The Gathering, Warhammer, Flesh and Blood but they also cater to many new games like Riftbound and their respective scenes. They also host tournaments and leagues. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Shared parking is available in the front and rear of the strip mall. Recommend calling ahead to see whats in stock or on the schedule. read more

This place is smaller than the similar gaming stores I've been inside, but it was nice to see some of the tables being used and people playing while we were there. They have a really big selection for Magic, but not much outside of that, which is what I was hoping for. I guess I was just in the wrong type of store. Everyone that was in the store, including the employee, didn't say anything, but gave us weird looks for being there. I'm not really sure why. There shouldn't be anything wrong with outsiders just checking the store out. read more

Turn Zero is hands down one of the best spots in LA to play Magic. The employees are genuinely welcoming and make you feel right at home, whether you're a regular or it's your first time in. The atmosphere is super chill--perfect for jamming games with friends or meeting new people. Huge bonus points for convenience: having valet parking right out front is a massive plus, and there are a bunch of quick snack places nearby if you get hungry between rounds. It's just a stress-free, convenient place to spend the day gaming. read more

I have two boys under five and live within walking distance of Turn Zero Games, so this is probably a placeholder review until they're old enough to learn about the world of collectibles and gaming. I dropped in to buy a present for my little friend Odin S.'s seventh birthday and immediately got what I needed. I am a 38-year-old mom with one salient common interest with many young children: I've played Pokémon GO since 2016, when most of the kids I know were not yet alive. I am a daily player, and even own a Pokémon GO Plus +, an autocatcher in the shape of a Poké Ball. My own children have shown great interest in this device, which I keep telling them is definitely not a toy. The adults in my life are unimpressed by my Pokémon prowess, but I've gotten pretty good mileage showing my CP4234 Mewtwo and various shinies to Odin. He has, in turn, told me all about the card game and general Pokémon lore. I got him a bunch of Pokémon cards for his sixth birthday, and the gift was enough of a hit that I decided to buy him more. I found Turn Zero on Yelp and called ahead to make sure they had Pokémon cards in stock. They did, and the guy on the phone gave me a full rundown of what they had available. While they weren't selling individual packs, they did have sets that sounded like they'd make great presents. The shop is in that huge Koreatown strip mall with the My Gym and El Pollo Loco, where I've found that parking is usually easy. I didn't explore much, but it looked like it was about the size of a corner store, and it was well stocked with game-related inventory. Lots of games, of course, plus accessories, books, figurines, etc. The guy I talked to on the phone was there behind the counter. He was nice and helpful and hooked me up with a handsome box of Pokémon cards. Odin was really happy with his gift. Given my own tendencies (I enjoyed plenty of manga in my youth, and while I never played Magic the Gathering, I got really into Hearthstone for a while), I think it's somewhat likely that my sons will be little gamers. I have a feeling I'll be back to Turn Zero Games. read more

I just walked out the shop , I had 2 idiots talk to me and laugh at my questions just because I asked if they buy sports cards or Pokemon , I was driving by and didn't really check it out online before coming in customer service ass and trust me I sold the gift bundle to LA sports cards for 150$ you guys look broke yet laughing at your customers Save yourself the trip there's 100% better stores with better prices and 100% better customer service read more

Turn Zero Games - Hobby Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I live nearby and have been coming here for years. It's a great place to make friends and form a community. I've played everything from board games, MTG, D&D, and Warhammer. In fact, this store has a fast-growing Warhammer 40K community, with an active league of 30+ players (and even more if you count casual players). Stop on by if you have even a passing interest on any type of tabletop games! read more

Owner is an amazing person! Was incredibly inviting and allowed my part to play board games in the back while a tournament was going on.

Great atmosphere, clean and smells good. The employees were welcoming and knowledgeable. Despite not knowing anything about magic they took their time to explain ways to get in. If you're in the area stop by!! read more

My go-to card/warhammer shop. Great community of players here. If anyone is curious about warhammer ask about the warhammer league. That's how I started and it's great for new players coming into the hobby. read more

Been going to this store for 10+ years. Love the store good stock and there's usually an employee who knows a bunch about each of the products read more

I was looking to find some community in my neighborhood and came to Turn Zero Games to see if there was anything cool I could get involved with. I'd never played Magic or D&D before but was directed to their discord where I connected with a weekly D&D group! Now I'm there a lot, I'm learning MTG & Lorcana and I also just really like hanging out with the people who work there and the regulars. The environment is very chill and welcoming, the people are funny, and they have a TON of board games, TCGs, and mini games. The discord is super informative and their website is great too you can order online for pickup if you want. They also have great events. read more

absolutely love coming here to empty my wallet every week! the environment is super chill and the staff are very friendly- definitely the best game store experience i've had in LA. there's a free parking lot in the back, which almost always has spots at night. plus, amazing taco stand on the corner read more

This is a nice game store for MTG, they have a large selection of singles and boxes to choose from. They also have some playmats and other non-MTG board games. Unfortunately this is why I have to rate low. There was a kid there that was absolutely disrespectful and disruptive to other people there. He was using slurs and yelling about the games he was in using the F word and other profanity. I can understand just casual conversation but this was a literal CHILD using this language. It made everyone I was with uncomfortable and the store employee seemed to not care or find it amusing. Beware if you attend an event outside of school hours. read more

They have a great set of magic cards according to my girlfriend's brother who is really into it the staff seemed nice/helpful and the prices were reasonable when comparing to tcg. There's parking in the plaza which is a huge plus too. read more

A great place for trading cards or board games, Turn Zero Games is a gem in Koreatown! The staff is helpful and knowledgeable, especially when you consider how many different designer board games there are to choose from. They will be happy to walk you through the mechanics of a game, give you a recommendation based on your interests, or give you a walkthrough with one of their many free-to-play in-store games! They are also primarily a Magic the Gathering store but do offer other card games as well, including a wide selection of sleeves and accessories. The community is welcoming as well and I have been able to make a lot of friends since my first prerelease for Dominaria back in 2018. Definitely not your stereotypical "exclusive, unfriendly game shop," the regulars and staff all want to play games with friendly people of similar interests. You should stop by if you're looking for something new to play, have cards to sell, or if you want to browse the cool nerdy products! read more

Beware. They will over charge you if they can. Make sure you check prices online and other stores. TCG player is usually a better and more affordable way to buy singles. read more

Easy transaction buying YuGiOh Sneak Peeks for Dawn of Majesty. Was a little sad to see that they didn't have the raffle for the play mat or beetrooper card, or even take our names down for them. So much for an event. There was also a Lost Art Promotion for Barrel Dragon, but they didn't give us it. Seems like one of those "if they dont ask for it, don't give it" shops. They seem like a good shop if you enjoy MTG or general board games, but I wouldn't go here for Yugioh / Pokemon read more

I am local to this place but this place is mad funny, that being said they are predominantly magic so if you were expecting singles for any other card game you're better going anywhere else. The staff are hilarious but may strike as "rude" to other folks so take that into context. I love this place but I legitimately wish they had better parking. read more

I absolutely love this place! The staff are very friendly and the place is clean. The shop looks very nice. There's so much stuff to buy from there. I recently just started getting back into Yu-Gi-Oh and I bought 2 booster boxes of phantom rage. I pulled a starlight rare! I'm definitely coming back and buy more Products from here! read more

Turn Zero Games - A starlight rare Yu-Gi-Oh card that's worth $350 dollars - Hobby Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The staff working tonight was incredibly rude. My boyfriend went in and the staff asked if he was there for Magic. He replied no, he was there looking for some Yugioh cards and the staffs demeanour changed entirely. He stated that they were out of that crap and answered any further questions with sarcasm and straight hostility. After looking around, he bought a play mat and the staff told him it was five dollars and to get that sh*t out of his sight. When inquiring about something to carry it in, the staff responded. "Does it look like I have anything? If I had any tubes they'd be there, but I don't. Do I?" It's not worth it. I wouldn't even go in for MTG if they're going to be that rude about a different card game. read more

Every time I have a question I get hit with some snarky remark. I'm kinda tired of it because it has happened to me on more than one occasion. read more

Updated Review: Spoke to one of the workers Yani who heard my negative experience and made it right. Staff has gotten much nicer and friendlier. Store seems like it had a better atmosphere. Wish there was more space to play, especially with social distancing and all but it is what it is given the expensiveness of the location. Looking forward to my next purchase, and probably an EDH game or 2. read more

Rude customer service, walked in asked a couple questions got pretty much ignored the guy working their didn't even look my way to acknowledge I was their & then told me they were sold out of everything I asked for. I heard this card shop was a good place but this interaction showed me other wise. Sadly wouldn't recommend read more

Chill place with attentive staff who can help with all kinds of recommendations. They have a large selection of board games. I ended up picking up Ninja Taisen and The Fox in the Forest for $15 each, but they also have a promo going on now BOGO 20% off. After tax, I spent around $29 in total with two games in hand ready to play! read more

Turn Zero Games - Hobby Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had a very poor experience here. Different business hours posted on yelp, google, and facebook. I placed an order to be shipped over a week ago, they didn't ship it, so I'm driving down here to pick up my order and they totally trolled me by having the wrong business hours posted. Now i cant get my cards in time for my event today. What a bust, they need to focus on improving their service, and get your info in order please, its not worth coming here if you treat your customers like this. read more

I feel like I visited a much different store than other reviewers. Going into a retail location you do expect certain things, a hello or some form of greeting. When I went up to the counter in the back the worker never even said high until about 5 minutes later when he was done with another customer. When he finally said hi I inquired about a heavily played Wheel of Fortune. Price was $18. Easily a $12-$14 card online. Most local stores are $1-$2 from TCG mid so this was ridiculous. I have been to this store once before. I was there for a good 5 minutes and no one greeted me. So I walked out. I was in Hi De Ho yesterday and scored a NM Wheel of Fortune for $20 flat below TCG mid. Michael there greeted me as soon as he saw me. I would rather go to Next Gen, MCO, HiDeHo or even All Star before going here again. read more

Owner reached out to me after a bad experience and apologized. Gave this store another chance so i ordered some stuff through their simple to use website and received product pretty fast. Thanks for caring for your customers read more

Super fun place with really helpful and nice workers! It's always active and tons of people playing tournaments, so the place has that welcome gamer vibe read more

great store very friendly love playing magic here the Environment great like the prices are great

Great place. Very helpful with all questions regarding 40k. Helped my son and I lean the game

I always buy singles here, I like that they have PCs just to search for cards in their inventory. I recently purchased a Bayou and Badlands here at competitive prices. Staff are friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking and food choices right outside. read more

Avoid this store. There's a ton of other card shops to check out. Why? I bought a revised Tundra for $209 from the guy Riis (store co-owner) behind the counter. I later went to Channel Fireball to trade it in for something else, and they told me it was a counterfeit Magic card. They were right. So Riis graciously asked me to send it back (I live 300 miles away), so I paid the shipping costs and sent it back. Riis confirmed it was counterfeit using his own methods. He then refused a refund or any sort of compensation whatsoever for the $209 counterfeit Magic card I purchased in cash, in store. The shipping cost to send it back costs more than the fake Magic card. So now I'm out over $200 and no Tundra to show for my hard earned money. Thanks a bunch, Turn Zero Games. read more

Great staff and great community! If you're looking for a place to go for all your Magic needs this is the best shop in LA to do so.

Love this lgs. They have everything you need from Magic: The Gathering to board games, and everything in between. The staff is distinguished and well versed on everything games related, and then some. Covid mode is in full effect and they go out of there way to make your purchase and interaction the safest they can make it. Head on down and check it out for yourself. read more

Parking may be a challenge at times. Store wise it's a place to chill and has its tournaments for various trading card games. The unique thing about this store that caught my eye was the renting of lockers to put your stuff to leave which idk about leaving personal stuff there but it's just FYI. read more

Knowledgeable staff that are down to chat, well stocked on new product and single cards, snacks, weekly events and a beer shop next door. What else do you want?!?!? read more

Came to this shop looking to buy trading card and the staff here had no interest in helping me find what I was looking for . The guy that didn't want to help went and asked his co worker for advice and he totally said "does it look like I play Pokémon " that was so uncalled for when I'm here shopping for me not him .idk what wrong nowadays with people but don't come here read more

Went here on a weekend good selection of board games and MTG cards. Employee was gone from the register for 5 min. And some dude was passed out on some chairs.... so there is that... read more
