Unique store with space for mingling. Great concept. Love the little game store. Very family friendly. Packed with fun stuff. Looks like owner maybe runs the place? Either way - great to have somebody that cares about the place. read more

See all

Terrible customer services. Sorry to inconvenience you from your sour patch kids to buy a card from your case. Short and smug on the phone call you took while I was there as well. When asking a simple question like "could you do better on the price?" Without even looking it up or considering my question I was hit with an immediate NO. Would have loved to spend my money at a small shop like this but I'll just take my business elsewhere that values its customers. read more

Staff are always so sweet and patient with my kids even they are just there to buy one pack of Pokémon or magic cards. I sometime get stuck there for 30min waiting for them. The kind owner Ben was showing me his dice collection, I guess I really look bored We are so lucky to have this store in town read more

D20 Games is a fantastic, extremely welcoming shop for all gamers. Probably the best Magic singles collection in the Bay Area, and a delightful staff to boot. Really recommend it. A treasure. read more

I have 2 sons who are now young adults. They frequented D20 as young boys, teenagers and now still love to visit when they are in town. My sons and their very diverse friend group have always considered this to be a safe space and for that I am forever grateful! As my sons grew into adulthood they encountered racial profiling and discrimination plenty, but D20 always remained the same INVITING place. From playing tournaments to purchasing games for game night at home - D20 has cultivated an inclusive community that keeps us coming back. read more

We come here everytime we are in Alameda and they have a nice selection of games to pick out from!

Super friendly and helpful staff and the community events are great. Alameda is lucky to have a space like this.

D20 is an incredible resource for the gaming community. My kiddo grew up there, pretty much, playing Pokemon on Saturdays. Ben and his staff are kind and friendly and it's simply a really special place for and by awesome humans. read more

Friendly and welcoming staff, plenty of tables to play, good selection of TCG, board games, and RPGs.

I had a ton of Magic cards that I wanted to sell in order to pare down my collection. The staff was very helpful, took my cards and told me the timeframe that it would take to look at them. They gave me a fair price, and they even helped me out with some bags to take the ones that didn't sell! Highly recommend this place. read more

Appreciate this local Alameda business. It's great to have a place where people can get together and play games.

I come here almost every week with my 8-year-old son, and it's honestly one of our favorite spots. The staff are welcoming, the atmosphere feels safe, and the rules are clearly enforced in a way that keeps things fun and respectful--huge plus when you're bringing kids. My son feels comfortable here, and I feel good letting him play and explore on his own. They've got everything covered: Magic, D&D, board games, and plenty of organized activities. Whether you're a longtime gamer or just introducing a kid to the hobby, this place makes it easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend for families as well as adult players looking for a friendly, well-run game store. read more

Great place! I've gone in to buy stuff for my son and my husband. They go weekly to magic nights. It is a really kind and welcoming community with a great selection of games. read more

D20 games is where you can find TCG for Magic the Gathering and Final Fantasy. Their events calendar is online. Not too much Pokemon or OnePiece stuff there. The staff members we encountered were friendly and have a good attitude. read more

This store has been such a breath of fresh air for many LGS's in the area. The staff are a big part of the community as a whole, are super welcoming and kind to anyone that steps through the door, and the prices are the fairest amongst any store I've seen in the Bay Area. You can really tell this store cares about its employees and the customers. Also the store has a great DND tavern feel to it, spacious, clean, and just generally looks amazing. Can not recommend this store enough for any of your Table Top or TCG needs. read more

Great small local card shop. Very inclusive. Not sure what other reviewers were saying about discrimination, but I've always hand a great time here as a POC. read more

D20 is amazing! The staff always makes you feel welcome and answer any questions you may have.

One part game store, one part thrift store, one part museum of my childhood? D20 is hidden in plain sight on Park St, and worth a visit. The owner has stocked the densely packed shelves and aisles with surprises at every turn. In addition to current RPG and Board Game releases, you might find books and boxes from the 80's and beyond. If you find something without a price tag, the helpful staff will look up a competitive value and usually give you a further break on that. Tables are set up in the back for in person gaming, and there appears to be a regular schedule of weekly sessions. maybe not the best store to find a specific thing, but a fantastic place to browse for unexpected treasures. read more

D20 Games - A blast from the past! - Toy Stores Near Me - Alameda, California

So glad to find this place! D20 let us shoot a scene from He, a trans short film, and now I'm obsessed! The owner and staff are so nice and helpful! And I was blown away by all the different games supplies, from figurines to cards to board games. Also love the light up dragon. Wanted to spend hours looking at everything, but what I did see looked very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back! read more

My husband loves this place! Friendly service, fun place to gather with friends. Good selection.

Very friendly place to buy and play games. I found an old favorite there (Millebourbes) and have had a few interesting game-related conversations with the staff. Love that they have events and a place for gamers to play and feel welcome. read more

Haven't played Magic in about 2 years. I had the opportunity to meet an amazing knowledgeable individual behind the counter. We spent about an hour going through multiple binders and boxes til we found the cards I was looking for. Truly a great experience and worth the drive from Berkeley! Will definitely return. read more

D20 is a fixture of safety and community in Alameda--a place where players of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds feel welcomed. So happy they continue to thrive during difficult times. read more

This is my favorite local gaming store. Proprietor Ben creates a friendly atmosphere, and there's a great selection of new and used games. I've played many Magic: The Gathering events here, and recently started playing D&D. This is a great, family-friendly place to game. read more

Great shop. Ben is a fabulous owner who is conscientious and kind. He made excellent recommendations for games and gifts. I trusted my kids going there when they were young. Truly an asset to the community. read more

D20 is a fantastic game store. I've been visiting for years, mostly playing 2-Headed Giant MTG prereleases, but also sometimes buying board games. The vibe at the 2-headed Giant tournaments is just right for me- a mix of couples, kids, parents, and friends, and since the skill levels vary a lot, it's nice and casual. The staff has also been very helpful when helping me pick out board games in the past. read more

Great place! If you love games you will love this place. Inclusive environment, where even a novice can feel welcomes.

Fantastic local space for all my card needs, even more so when I have a desperate need for more card sleeves for my next MTG commander deck experiment/abomination. Staff is always super friendly and super responsive. read more

My friend and I (black) and myself (native American), went to play some cards at the store and were openly discriminated IN front of every one at the event. The staff said it with smiles and were super proud of it. 100% do not go to the store if you have respect for yourself read more

Visiting from LA and decided to look for sports cards in the area as I find this place was still open with a full house of people running magic games, The case they had wasn't the best so I decided to ask about the binders behind the counter the guy proceeds to says "actually we can't because I am in a game" LOL I do not take long to look through binders but definitely suggest they should keep an employee at the counter at all times. Go else where if you wanna purchase anything as they aren't interested in wanting to sell cards I highly doubt everyone walks out right at 9pm closing time. read more

The owner and staff are helpful warm and welcoming, and work hard to provide an environment where everyone feels welcome.

Thanks to the Store associate DYLAN! I came in to sell a Bulk Collection of Pokemon Cards & Packs and got a Very Fair Offer Considering the time i would have to take to sell every individual card on its own whether it be at a card show or on eBay with fees and what not I was very happy and pleased with the amount I was offered in cash and store credit read more

Prefacing this review saying that this is being written from the perspective of a Pokemon TCG collector. Though I think more effort needs to go into the storefront (still kinda looks under construction and not too inviting) the inside is very warm and pleasant. The people are also all very nice and pleasant to speak to and I've never had a bad interaction with them. While this place does have many redeeming qualities, the biggest thing I can't really get behind are their prices. Speaking from the perspective of a Pokemon TCG collector. Their price points feel really out of touch both with sealed products and individual cards. As far as sealed products the best example was when they were selling individual Shrouded Fable booster packs in the $6-$8 dollar range (Can't specifically remember). As far as individual cards. I'm trying to complete a collection of the OG Gen 1 Pokemon and they were trying to charge me $4 for an unlimited Spearow from the Fossil set which at best is a 50 cent card. While I understand that they need to make a profit off the products, and with the exception of the first few purchases I made when I started collecting, and didn't know better, I've never not made a purchase and though to myself. "I wonder if I could have purchased this for cheaper somewhere else" It was at this point when I discovered another shop that I decided I would be making my purchases there instead. Their pricing for some of these Pokemon products just seem a little out of touch. The three stars for this place isn't so much for the place as whole but more for Pokemon TCG collectors it just feels like there are other places that are more fairly priced. I can't speak in regards to other franchises. read more

How does a brick and mortar business not have a working phone number? The number on yelp doesn't work, the number on google doesn't work, and the one on their website doesn't work! Their own website! I wasted my time driving there tonight and when I asked which number I should call in the future, I'm told their number has been down since the move, but that was like 5-6 months ago! I'm not saying you shouldn't play there, because I think it's just fine, especially for younger kids. The staff are generally friendly and helpful, and they have a large play area, but as an adult who expects a certain level of professionalism from a business where I spend my time a money, it's no longer for me. read more

I love the environment in D20 games. It's enjoyable and welcoming and all the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Especially Dan, a cashier and dungeon master, he just knows so much! It has gotten so much better in the past 2 years since the moved into a new, bigger location. They have a huge selection of magic cards, Pokemon cards and games. I think all of the items there are well priced and interesting. Overall I think this is the best game store in all of Alameda and Oakland. read more

Beat game shop in the bay imo. Dan is such a great help he single-handedly knows so much about magic and is extremely helpful going above and beyond: please GIVE HIM A RAISE!!!! Thanks so much Dan, my deck thanks you also. read more

They sell old packs and the cards inside are bent up and already whitening, on top of it being expensive (pokémon) overpriced boxes (they're scalpers) but cool staff read more

Nice Game store, it was crowded with Mtg commander night...they need a bigger store they had magic singles and reasonably priced

The workers are all extremely kind! I bought a heavy board game and they lent me a small hand truck and walked with me to my car. They have a wide range of board games and offer lots of different activities for beginners and veterans alike. Their prices are comparable to online retail and they have a great atmosphere. read more
