Hands down THE best place on the Peninsula to get some cards and play with friends. The place has the most welcoming vibes and everyone that works there is super friendly. Alex there is an absolute legend and will help you with any TCG need you have.

★★★★★ Andrew, Dec 2025

Honestly, this is the best TCG store I've been to since the original Superstars aka Channel Fireball ceased to exist in th' late 2010s. Everything in the store is extremely well organized and their display method for single cards along their interior section's walls remind me of the method card shops in Japan use.

★★★★★ Phi-Long, Jul 2026

Great store and plenty of stock of mtg / pokemon singles. They have riftbound singles but not as many. The play space is good but the place is busy so free play might be limited. Good variety Sealed product of multiple tcgs and sleeve selection is great.

★★★★★ Victor, Jun 2026

My favorite LGS in the Bay Area! Happy to see the growth in the shop since they opened last year. MTG pre-releases are great and the stock keeps increasing for sealed and singles
