Destine Fantasy Games in Alameda, CA

Great shop! Well stocked with TCG, supplies, singles, board games, and collectibles. We (8yo kid and I) play Pokemon there - good community - supportive of beginners but they also have local folks that are competitive in the global tournaments. Also active MTG and OnePiece groups there as well.

Run events well. We've had a blast there. The owner quickly learned what I come in for and flags me down if he got something new lol. They do tend to follow market trend when it comes to pricing but have still gotten pretty good deals. I'm not going to blame the LGS for market inflation; you should blame the scalpers.

I play the card game Flesh and blood weekly here. Very friendly and accommodating staff who worked hard with us to get the Flesh and blood scene started in Alameda. They have a big open play area where we have plenty of space to play games.

Fantastic little shop with large bulk and full arts selection - if you need it, you'll likely find it here. Jacob and Jensen are a great team, customer service is top notch. They also host great PlayPokemon! events!
