Game Master — Attraction in Rowlett

Great store, great prices, great people. I've been frequenting Game Master recently, as I've been doing a lot of trade-ins on old consoles and some games that I've lost interest in. They always offer great value, especially with the in-store credit option. The game selection is pretty good, especially when it comes to old-school Nintendo (NES - N64 era). They have the lowest prices around on everything from games to trading cards, both of which I buy almost exclusively from here. The staff are very friendly and willing to do whatever it takes to make sure you have a full grasp of whatever it is you need to know. If I were to have any complaints whatsoever, it would be that they have very few current-gen products, though that can be easily solved if people were to trade in their own current-gen consoles and games here, where they would most likely leave more satisfied than if they did so elsewhere. This still isn't enough to drop my rating though, as that's not even what most people visit for. Where Game Master truly shines is in its TCG tournaments. I will say that I have never been to one myself due to schedule conflicts, but I've heard nothing but great things from people that frequent them. The staff are very knowledgeable about Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, and the Pokémon TCG, all of which they hold tournaments for at least once every week. If I'm not mistaken, entry is $5 and they have a pack-per-win policy, in which you recieve one booster pack for every victory that night. I will note that none of the staff have a Pokémon Professorship so the PTCG tournaments aren't official as of yet, but one is expecting to complete the process soon. I hope this gives y'all some insight as to what makes Game Master such a...

After having this card shop referred to me at a local comic book convention, I finally decided to make the 30 minute drive to this card and tabletop gaming shop.

I was astonished. If you're an old-school card player, you know that it is very difficult to find card shops that have the same welcoming vibe, back when there was a much better selection of independently owned and run businesses. This place has managed to recapture that comfortable vibe.

The place is great for tournaments. It's a place you want to spend time in if you are a card game or tabletop enthusiast. The atmosphere is great and the place was clean. They have drinks and snacks for long play days and a lot of area to play in.

The staff was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. You get the impression they genuinely love their customers and care about the product they sell. They keep very up to date on most mainstream card games and have quite a few more rare games around. They had a very surprisingly awesome selection of older retro video games as well. They probably have the single best selection on card sleeves and card boxes that I've seen in the Dallas so far.

Overall I mention that it was a 30 minute drive for me, because despite that drive? I will be back to Game Master in the future for their weekly tournaments. I recommend this place if you're trying to find a authentic,...

Me and my friend got kicked out by the employee/manager/owner in 2 minutes. My friend asked about the pricing on yugioh savage strike special edition displays, and the guy said they were 100 bucks. My friend pulled out his phone to double check pricing online, and the employee flipped out and told us to leave. You can get the displays online for 70 bucks btw, explaining why he freaked out, aware of the fact his prices aren't competitive whatsoever. Worst card shop experience I've ever had, I recommend the employee seek an occupation outside of the realm of customer service as this is obviously a weak point for him. 0/5 experience I highly recommend you pass on financially supporting this shop whatsoever, comic asylum in Richardson is a much...
