Gator Games in San Mateo, CA

This is our go-to for boardgames and cards - I could not recommend them enough! They have such a good selection of boardgames and they always have cards in stock. I'm an avid boardgame collector and my boyfriend collects Pokemon/MTG/Yu-Gi-Oh cards - this shop has contributed in building our collection immensely.

The best board game store ever. I've been to a lot of board game stores and experienced a lack of hospitality. But at Gator Games & Hobby, the staff are very friendly and very helpful in what you are looking for.

Gator Games is my favorite gaming and hobby store in California, hands down. I went there once in 2014, was blown away, and made the pilgrimage again four years later.

Go here. Go here, then go here again. Every MTG thing I could has for was here. Stud I didn't even know you could get anymore. Guild theme boxes, sleeves, every dragon shield they have ever made. Place is honestly a home run. Even have a little bit of space to play.
