Great spot for table top gaming. Has the best local selection of paints for miniatures. The sales people are very knowledgeable and helpful.

Look, I love this place. Local game store with great people and loads of support. Everyone is super helpful and experienced. If they don't have something they are willing to order. They have a super selection of paints and games. Support your local game store, it brings great value to the gaming community as well as gives us all a place to play! S read more

I was surprised to find that Dice Age had moved into the corner spot previously occupied by CCG House in Orchards, but it appears nothing was lost in transition. Reasonably well stocked in board games, card games, sleeves, dice and other gaming paraphernalia, friendly and helpful staff, and a solid community of active players engaged in one form of nerdy or another at almost all times. One of the few gaming stores in Vancouver that's worth a damn. read more

Dice Age Games - Toy Stores Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

This is a must stop when I'm in Vancouver. Fantastic selection of new and used games. Great game area.

Consistently out of stock of things, apathetic and rude employees, and the place just generates an air of cliquish gatekeeping. I don't know why these other reviews claim the staff is friendly. That hasn't been my experience at all. "Aloof" is the best I've seen out of these jokers. Even that Warhammer focused store on Burton (a game I usually associate with fascists) has nicer people. And definitely don't trust the hours on their answering machine or their sign (there's a tiny sign two feet lower with "COVID hours" which *could* have been put, you know, OVER the other sign, but no. Go elsewhere. Seriously. read more

Amazing community space! If you are a "gamer" you may know it isn't always easy to find that perfect game store for all your hobby needs. While there are many good ones, the on-brand stores like games workshop simply won't usually give you that same feeling of community. I remember my first time going in to get supplies, and more importantly, my first time playing in their game group, where I met some awesome people. Amazon service, great collection of stuff, and some awesome groups to join for pretty much any game out there make Dice Age a truly one of a kind LGS. read more

Great customer service, amazing patience while I took forever with the Magic Cards (Searching through their entire Land box... it's HUGE) and they had a great deal on the cardboard boxes to help organize any cards you may find! I really enjoyed being there, the staff had great patience with my son (6 yo) and I would love to come back sans-kiddo to take more time to browse the games they have. Great room for playing with friends as well, lots of folks having fun here, and it is hard to not smile when you're there from the great energy of the place. I will be back for any future gaming quest I find myself on! Thank you Dice Age! read more

Very rarely can I walk into a room and be the LEAST nerdy person. However, I met my match when I walked into Dice Age Games. A friendly group of 20-40yr old dudes were building spaceships and laughing about Magic Cards. Though I love Spaceships (Trekker myself) I have ZERO knowledge about the Magic the Gathering Game. That being said, I wanted to stand on a chair and yell "HELLO, MY PEOPLE!!!!" But, instead, I walked with purpose (as if I fit in) and grabbed my expansion pack for Fluxx. The gal running the register was nice, explained how I could spend lots of money there, and get some money back later for doing it. Mathiness is not their strong suit, apparently. ;) The selection of games is epic, and I *might* be checking in to see what sort of events they do, since my husband isn't a table top gamer... and I'm longing for some people who are! I'll be back, Dice Age Games. I'll spend some money there, and maybe get some back. Dang. She sucked me in. Only lost a star because I asked a generic question about the set I was buying and she didn't know. I think knowing the games should be a pre-req. It's ok, register lady. You are still my people. read more

I came here to buy a card game for a birthday present. I felt like I had walked into a particularly geeky country club where everyone including the staff was playing one game or another on the massive array of tables in the middle of the store. Sadly, they were too distracted to offer any help to someone who was obviously lost, but luckily one of the other customers happened to know what I was looking for and gave me a hand. Two thumbs up for the customer, and I'm guessing that if you're big into card games and this is your social crowd you're going to have plenty of people to play with here. I noticed that they had a very large bulletin board with "looking for" type postings for various games of all colors prominently by the front door. Actually, that did surprise me as I assumed that was all done over the Internet now but what do I know? Besides the card games, I did notice a lot of painting supplies for miniature games, but are likely very helpful for anybody looking for craft supplies as well especially people looking for paint for models. read more

This is a great game shop. Folks are really helpful and knowledgeable across the spectrum of minis, board games, and RPGs. Lots of gaming tables, great conversations, and friend atmosphere. Truly it's an awesome place to spend an evening. read more

A good store! Lots bigger and much nicer inside than what it looks like from the outside. Friendly employees and people here. Big game selection. read more

An amazing selection of board games and miniature games. They also have a large selection of paint and other hobby supplies. One of the best things about the store is how helpful and friendly the staff is. A great place not only to buy games but also meet up and play games. read more

Great place to game, D&D, Star Wars, card games, Pathfinder, 40k and many more. Beware of John, he will stare at you if you are female (especially younger). read more

Super nice owner in a well set up card shop. A great place to come play. One of the best in the region. The chairs are comfortable and the tables are solid. There is ALOT of room here and even supplies for projects. The retail area is well stocked and staff is helpful. I like this place as soon as I walked in the door read more

See all

First time going to the store and was greeted by two people. I only ended buying two dice but they still treated me courteously. Will definitely go back and use this as my FLGS. read more

Really nice owner and quite a large selection of board games and card games. There are a lot of tables that you can play games at as well. Really nice place! read more

Great community and staff!! Me and my friend getting into warhammer40k and this place is very helpfull towards new people. During summer they gonna have newcomer sessions to teach how to play the game. A lot other places dont offet that. Great place !!!! read more

cards // dice // mini's & wacko games I've never heard of. the owner ( I assume) knows every game in the store by heart, which is freaky because there are hundreds. HUNDREDS. He also know plenty about olde bad movies; ask him about "Starcrash". Be warned the owner is dangerously loquacious, formidably knowledgeable, and sweet like candy, he even let me park my bike in the store. read more

A lot of games to choose from but not the friendliness of staff. I'll drive to Cloud Cap in Sellwood before shopping here any day of the week. read more

After moving to Vancouver I very quickly became an everyday costumer/gamer. It is a great place to play your favorite games with many like minded enthusiast. Great for all age groups. read more

Store is clean and there is plenty of space for gaming. There is a large amount of board games to choose from, and it looked like your RPG, CCG, and Tabletop Minis games needs were well met. Board game prices were about par for the course as far as brick and mortar stores go. My only complaint, and the reason this place didn't get 4 or 5 stars, was the customer service. It was non existent. I was there on a Wednesday afternoon at around 2:45pm. It was not busy. Looked like 4 guys playing Pathfinder, and a woman watching them. No one greeted me, nobody said hello, nothing. I went straight to looking at board games. The major section I was in was right next to the guys playing Pathfinder. After about 15-20 minutes I realized that an employee or owner was right next to me playing Pathfinder because he answered the phone, came over near me at the game section, and checked on whether a game was in stock or not. I don't even think he made eye contact with me. At this point i grabbed the game I wanted and followed the man with the phone to the front of the store, made my purchase, and left. There was no small talk, no "did you find everything you were looking for?", nothing. The stores I usually shop at for my gaming needs are very friendly, very helpful. They build a sense of community and new comers are looked after so they want to come back and participate in game days and CCG events. This was about as cold as you could get. I will shop at Dice Age again when I know what it is I am looking for and can just go in and out real fast. It is right down the street from my work so it's too convenient to not shop at, but I think I will keep looking for other shops that may be more friendly so that I can join in on some game days and participate in some game groups. read more

We love this place. Located next to the now demolished Golden Skate is a tiny little strip mall with this hidden gem of a business. We happened in one day when I was reduced to walking my bike home (flat tire) and what a great thing it was because every cool, hard to find game is here. I went home with a Munchkin Christmas Expansion Pack and the Settlers of Catan Cities and Knights expansion. But best of all, we found out about a totally free and open game night. We went several times and were able to play some really cool games, 100% free. The open play brings together a bunch of game afficionados to try out new games and teach older games to newbs(that would be us). There are schedules for some other games with leagues and stuff happening on other days. Everyone was pretty friendly and welcoming, I'm not the most outgoing person and while my shyness did make for a few awkward moments, I was surprised by how friendly everyone was. There is nice selection of figures and paint and we bought this super cool Star Trek game and several of the star ships to play with. This place is definitely worth a visit and would make a great Christmas shopping location. Note about bikes; There is no lock up area. I had to chain my bike to the chainlink fence. It wasn't the most safe place to leave a bike, but I don't have a fancy $2k bike to worry about. read more

Awesome little place, has tons and tons of stuff that's hard to find naturally. You can also hang out and play some games which is pretty cool. read more

Don't let the outside appearance fool you, this place is huge and full of awesomeness on the inside. Their board game selection is phenomenal and they are the best hobby shop in Vancouver, hands down. read more

Great store. A ton of gaming items you won't find everywhere. Has all the usual suspects GW, Board Games, X-Wing but if you are a modeler/gamer this is the place for you! read more

I'm not an avid gamer, so I have no clue how places like this would make a living. Do they rent out table space? I like to support local shops, so I don't mind spending money here, but they charge MSRP for everything. Folks are friendly and helpful and it's bigger inside than you'd think. I'll go here when I want to pick up a game, but not because it's the most economical solution. Nice place though. read more

The store itself is ok. A good selection of games and a pretty convenient location. Inside is open and easy to move around (carpets a little grungy but what do you expect). I'd be thrilled to have this as my main gaming store EXCEPT for one reason: The customer service. Like a couple other entries said - the CS is lacking. I visited in the middle of the day and said hello and tried sparking up a conversation with the owner - only to get the cold shoulder. Then he ask his wife/partner for help with something - kind of grumpily barked an order at her. Kind of felt awkward and unwelcoming - had the impression I was interrupting something by being there. I've been in here several times and have to agree that there isn't a lot of help from the staff. Just have to make planned trips into Portland for gaming. Waste the gas but get the friendly faces. read more

They had a really nice selection of games, but unfortunately their staff is horrible. One employee was too busy playing Warmachine while the other one was too busy sucking his girlfriends face. Seeing as I brought in my kids, I found that particularly offensive. We spent almost 20 minutes in that store and not once did either employee bother to see if we needed help or have any questions. So, we left and went and bought games over in Portland. If the owner ever reads this, you need to hire employees who want to work and not people looking to get paid to sit there and play games. read more

Awesome place, great people, and a wide range of merchandise. It's a great place to buy/play games, or just hang out. On several occasions I've gone there just to paint and chat. It's a very friendly and inviting place, I'd recommend it to anyone. read more

Love it. They have everything you could need for gaming, even the resin bits for customizing your minis. They have lots of different boardgames and tabletop games to choose from. The Warhammer 40K section is not as big as I would like, but overall a very good store and close to home. read more
