Games for Days, So Many Options. 😊 PROS: The selection of games for both children and adults is impressive, for the compact venue. With an entire wall of board games of all types, it's easy to get lost in possibilities and worlds. References to popular card games are sprinkled throughout, along with some children's toys and another wall of jigsaw puzzles. Various small items and trinkets with geek and nerd appeal are part of the mix. It's refreshing to have a local, humble, and diverse game shop in the area, among so many coffee and treat storefronts nearby. CONS: As with any post about a business on 2nd St, the parking is really the only 'negative'. But that is the norm in this area of Long Beach, and shouldn't be a reason to not stop by. It's another place to stop during a fun stroll down Belmont Shore.

If you enjoy games or puzzles, you should certainly check this...

I popped in one day because I was stoked 2nd Street had a real game store. At first I was a little taken aback, because the front of the store seemed dominated by children's toys, buuuuuut past that were myriad board games, TTRPGs (like D&D), and card games. The back even has a play room with a window into/out of the store/counter. Pretty cool!

What's more is the woman I spoke with about card games--specifically Lorcana and Magic: The Gathering (as I haven't played Magic since 1995)--was both very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It's a great experience when you have genuinely helpful people working at a hobby shop, you know?

Anyway, I have since popped in now and then to crab a pack of cards and eyeball the wall of board games. (Maybe one day I'll host a game night, who knows?) Very...
