This is a rare place, a real third place - a community hub. I was traveling in San Diego and looking for a place to hang out around people. Inside I saw a Magic game going on with friends, people walking in and out who knew each other, regulars having interesting conversations with the owner about books and history.

Went to this place a few months ago as I just happened to be in the downtown area. This place shines on a street that’s mostly dead during the daytime. From the great front windows display to the first table you see when walking in this super is a gem.

Name? 10/10 Super cute store with lots of games that I hadn't seen before but looked insanely fun. If I hadn't been flying I would have definitely grabbed the "Happy Little Dinosaurs" because literally look at it, it's perfect. Staff was nice and had good vibes. Lots of gamers in the back doing card games.

The shopkeeper (guy with a cap and beard, sorry I didn’t get your name as I was rushing off) was super super helpful. So story time… I was browsing through their catalog and saw that they had cards that I wanted and made and order.
