Cardboard Games — Local services in Tustin

I had the pleasure of visiting this store for the first time to play Star Wars: Unlimited, and I’m so glad I was recommended here by a regular! As a newcomer to the game, I was initially intimidated, but the experience turned out to be fantastic.

The store has a great selection of packs, deck boxes, sleeves, and everything you’d need to get started. It’s well-stocked and organized, making it easy to find what you’re looking for. The space is also clean, well-lit, and inviting, which really adds to the overall atmosphere. They even offer snacks and beverages for sale, which is a nice touch, especially for those long gaming sessions. Plus, the pricing is very fair, whether you’re purchasing sealed products or singles.

I was also really impressed by their unique 3D-printed tokens and life counters. I picked up a set, and Kevin even customized a set for me in my preferred colors. They turned out amazing!

What truly sets this store apart, though, is the community. Whether you’re a competitive player or just getting into the game like me, the environment is incredibly welcoming. Everyone was kind, supportive, and eager to help me out as a first-timer.

I highly recommend this store to anyone interested in trading card games. Huge thanks to Kevin and Aly for making my first TCG experience so enjoyable and welcoming!

Now, the fair pricing is included right after mentioning the store’s stock, making the review...

However he seems to have hired a really rude associate (not sure of name) but has short black hair and wears glasses. I came in to trade some cards and was not greeted by him but met with an eye roll after saying excuse me to him (because he was the only employee behind the counter), adding onto the rude greeting, I kept getting met with glares and no responses anytime I tried to talk. Long story longer, I felt super unwelcomed and got treated like I was an alien. Dude needs to learn to hate himself a little less and come to work without making everyone feel unwelcome. Sucks because this is my closet lcs, but looks like i’ll happily make the...

I got into MTG / Commander this year through a buddy of mine, but he lives way out in San Bernardino. I tried out a bunch of the stores around here, and some of them are really great, but I think this one is easily the best. Extremely chill vibes; everyone I have met here is very friendly and welcoming. The only thing to be aware of is that it's a relatively new store, so the singles selection is a little more loaded towards the recent sets. However, I have also found singles here that were out of stock at other shops, so their catalog is obviously...
