Julie (I hope I got your name right!) immediately stepped in and took amazing care of us. Even on a busy, rainy day, she went above and beyond to make sure we still had a place to play and felt completely supported. Her customer service was excellent, and we really appreciated how smoothly she handled everything. All the other staff members were just as amazing and accommodated us. Thank you again for making our day. We'll definitely be coming back!

They'll have great sales for the holidays, give out sealed products to families in need, have flash sales for the most popular products, and support local vendors through their trade nights. They're my go-to shop. Whether it be asking for their advice, buying clean cards for a fair price, or coming by to share PC's with each other. Don't let the low rating fool you! I hope Yelp does something about the reviews, as it seems it's mainly coming from one person/interaction.

Not sure why there are so many low reviews -- our experience was the complete opposite. I stopped…read moreby with my daughter for her very first visit, and the team couldn't have been more welcoming. The shop is packed with Pokémon cards, with what feels like endless options to choose from. I get that local shops have real overhead, so I don't mind paying a bit more than a vending machine. What matters to me is the environment -- and this place delivered. My daughter felt comfortable, excited, and totally at ease while ripping her packs, and that alone makes this a great shop in my book. By the time we were halfway through browsing, the place had already filled up, which tells you something. We'll definitely be back!

Thank you to Corey for the suggestions, we are so excited to start our new games!…read more We came in here looking for good two player games and solo rpg games. The selection is decent, though a little limited. They seemed to be out of some things but that's okay. We started browsing looking at simple games. Corey asked if he could help and we told him what we were looking for. He said the one we were holding, Rebel Princess, was really fun and he had played it himself. we decided to snag that. He then recommended us Forest Shuffle as a fun game for us too, little does he know that animals like bugs and birds are my entire personality. Such a good read on his part. We loved the game he pitched and took that as well. He showed us around the shop and where to find some amazing used and vintage books (very cool little selection) and where everything else is located. He also suggested me a solo rpg which I will be coming to get! Super thankful for the nice staff and amazing store!

It's a super fun past time activity. Play it with your son or daughter. The service was great. They explained the new items and let me take my time on it. Which o got a ton!!! I lost all my old ones in a fire in 07. They had a great choice of hero clix. I almost got all of them. Maybe 4/5 items achieved. Cost a lot but so so worth it. I love heels and villain. I play city of heroes as well. They still had pokemon cards old old cards and new ones too. There was even magic being played while I was there. So so fun!!

I'm not one of the adults who still collects, but now my girls are all in... and I'm along for the ride! From the moment we walked in, they were welcomed with so much kindness. I didn't catch her name -- she wore glasses -- but she was incredibly sweet to my girls and even gifted them each a Pokémon Trainer Box. It absolutely made their day. They haven't stopped talking about building decks since. They spent the rest of our visit carefully picking out their favorite cards from the mixed singles boxes -- Jigglypuff and Pancham were top picks -- and wide-eyed staring at some of the wildly priced cards (definitely made me wish I'd held onto mine from back in the day!). Here's hoping their new Pokémon passion doesn't completely drain my wallet... but this shop made 2/22 a day they won't forget. Thank you -- especially to the kind employee who went out of her way to make two little girls feel so special. We'll absolutely be back!

We returned the next day and played 4 (shorts) games. Great library of old and new games.

As soon as I came here I felt welcomed and honestly with a big smile of positivity and enthusiasm as a new player. One of the employees Mike was wonderful very welcoming very warm and very comforting the other dungeon masters in this game and other employees of this facility have been nothing short of delightful. If you're coming here as a new player, I highly recommend coming here. I did not feel unwelcome, but instead, I felt like I was part of a family. Highly recommended to come here if you're new into board games or if you want to learn how to play any kind of game, I will definitely be coming here every week to play board games into socialize with new people. The prices are also extremely fair!!!

David goes above and beyond for his customers and gives care into them and his cards instead of just being another run-of-the-mill vendor. Very welcoming whether a new or returning customer with always a cold soda or water for us at no charge! Has almost everything you need to play YGO and if you don't, he can get them for you too in a timely manner. On top of covering everything you may need, it's a family run business and teaches his own kids about how valuable even minute things like cards may seem but are an investment in the long run. David is a wonderful vendor but more importantly, a great person. Hope to see this business continue to run as well as he does for the years to come! P.s. ignore that comment about this place being closed (This comment being made on July 2025) Its open at 12pm everyday on the second floor of these business complexes and only about a ten minute walk from the train station.

The shop had a wide selection of board games at the front, some books along the shelves, crafting supplies for painting, figurines, and a tabletop play area in the back. There was a tabletop tournament for Magic the Gathering the day I went. The tables were all full and everyone was having a great time. My partner I had recently picked up Wingspan and have been enjoying it a lot so I wanted to pick up another board game for duos. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful here - they answered all the questions I had on board games I was looking for as well as gave me their own personal recommendations. We quickly picked up the 7 Wonders Duel board game and are very excited to test it out. Price is slightly higher than Amazon but worth it to support this business. Highly recommend Bards & Cards and will definitely be coming back.

I'm a new Funko Pop! collector and stumbled onto this while yelping for more Funko Pop! places to…read morecheck out. What luck for me! I didn't run out of space to display my new hobby, I simply did not have anything. Display Geek is a great solution. My shipment arrived about 3 days after ordering, and it came in a flat white "Ebay" taped box. Upon opening the box, there was a flat of unassembled cardboard plus 2 other flats which were the shelves. I'm not the savviest person in building stuff but after about 15-20 minutes tinkering with the first of 3 displays, I got the kit built. The 2nd and 3rd one took a fraction of the time. Overall first impression? Not bad. Sure its cardboard, but its a display, not permanent furniture. 3 stacks of the displays comes to about 5-feet tall (I'm 4'9" btw) and fits perfects in a little nook in my bedroom. The FAQ on the website recommended using a certain screw to mount the display, but someone said they used the Command Hooks and it worked just fine. I realized even though I am a "newbie" I quickly ran out of shelf space displaying my Funko Pop toys inside the box. So I mixed it up and took some out, and turned the box sideways, while the ones that are more "rare" or I didn't want out of the box displayed perfectly facing outwards. I could squeeze 35 Funko Pop! boxes per shelf when I mixed the orientation. 3 pack cost about $75 and free shipping. I lucked out and they had a post comic-con discount code, saving me $11. Great solution if you want to display your Pop addiction.
