Came to Hawaii and went from shop to shop. Came here, owner was amazing and even recommended other shops for what they might have. Incredible online experience ordered large amount of single cards and immediately available. Would recommend to any MTG, YGO, or PKM collector. read more

It's been almost a year since I stopped playing MTG since life has literally ate me and swallowed me whole....but now being back here for the IXALAN prerelease with my boyfriend makes me so happy! Everyone here is always very friendly and welcoming. If you have any questions about anything regarding magic the gathering they are the best! They are very knowledgeable and if you are ever looking for a specific card they have a computer where you can look online and order from. Located upstairs from the Chinese furniture store, in the same shopping center behind the car dealership, they are usually open in the afternoon till late at night. But I would call ahead about their hours on some days. The shop itself is very clean with about 12 long tables for people to come in and play mtg against each other. Or on regular days to come by and hangout and casually play with your friends. This card shop's primary focus is on MTG and can be very competitive hosting FNM- or "Friday night magic" and weekly & monthly prerelease events. On the wall you will see picture frames with mtg themes and posters. There is a tv on the wall that will display a timer during competitions. They also sell snacks and drinks for really cheap like $1.00 or .50... however if you wanted to the owner Jeff, does allow you to bring your own drinks and food as long as you respectfully throw away your trash and keep the place clean. Of course they sell mostly mtg but they do offer Pokémon cards and some yugioh...they also sell protective sleeves, play mats and other accessories you may need like dice and boxes to hold your cards. Durdlezone is one of my favorite places to come to when it comes to just getting together with friends to play mtg or even watch my bf compete. I like that the atmosphere here is more relaxed and clean. However if your looking for a place that sells a lot of Pokémon or Yugioh this may not be your best bet. read more

See all

The best card shop on the island. Excellent service from the owner. Friday and Saturday are very busy nights with lots of friendly people to play Commander with. The card selection is really great and updated via the website. Frankly, I love this place. I really couldn't ask for a better shop. Thank you for bringing this community together. read more

I visited a long time ago (almost 8 years? I think) but got back into MtG the past year. They're always super friendly and have a good selection of playmate, deck boxes, sleeves...pretty much anything you could want. Once the world settles down I hope to participate in events there. read more

My daughter recently got into collecting trading cards and she wanted to get some card sleeves to protect her favorite ones. Since i know nothing about cards, I trusted my Yelp app to find a local shop. Sure enough, this shop was the closest to my home and a plus, they are open late. Parking is easy at night since most businesses here are closed. This shop is located upstairs from Jelly's, specifically Yan's (Chinese shop). I'm not sure what kind of gaming store this is, but there are a lot of tables and random people hanging around. There was a wall of cards for sale along with accessories for the cards. The young man working there was able to find the right size sleeves my daughter was looking for, along with a deck box to hold all the cards. The prices were decent and we were able to walk away feeling like we got a great price. Thanks Durdle Zone !! We will be back for more sleeves later! read more

I am planning on moving out of my house soon. I have started cleaning and sorting everything. While doing that I came across some old baseball, football and basketball cards. My brother told me that I could go to a card shop close by. I went there and the owner told me he couldn't buy them cause they were just not good. I asked if he buys pok'emon cards. Also, no...just getting no's from this dude. BUT he did tell me about Durdle zone. He told me it was by Jelly's. I know the area. The next day, my girlfriend and I head down there. We have no idea where Durdle Zone is. So we go to Jelly's and ask them. They didn't even know where or what it was. Crazy right? Crazier given how close they are to each other. I saw the reflection in the signs picture on here. Instantly knew where to go. It was 12:45....Durdle Zone doesn't open til 2 pm. So we left and eventually came back. My girlfriend had her cards in stacks. Just like the sports card shop he just looked at the top cards and said no. My cards are in a binder. So he actually flipped through the entire book before telling me no. He said the most I'd get would be a dollar. He was right, btw. Checked some of them online and the most I got was $3. Truth-be-told, if I put them on Craigslist, I'd only sell them for $1 anyway. My girlfriend needed to buy a box for her card against humanity cards. She wanted to buy a medium size box so that she could fit them in her closet without them leaning out. Of course that game will come out with more cards but she will buy more boxes of the same size when that happens. This guy was not having that. He "suggested" she buy the bigger box to house ALL the cards. She told him what I just wrote and he didn't really get it. His suggestion went from that to kind of being forced on her. He wasn't being mean. He was just not backing down. She ended up buying it and was upset after. If you're a gamer, this is the place for you. If you're trying to sell something....make sure it's more recent. Older cards (even mint or near mint) have no value anymore. Better to go on Craigslist. read more

Cool shop easy to find location. Very friendly staff. Helped me find the perfect sleeves for my cards. Would highly recommend.

Quick service! Ordered singles online and walked in an hour later, and my order was ready. This has been consistent across all my friends who have ordered from Durdle. Great shop, lots of parking. At this time they had sale tables and picked up a lot of great items under $10! Check them out! read more

Really cool store. Me and my friends just recently got into playing MTG so we're still new to the whole thing and where to get cards. My coworkers have been playing for a while now and told me about this shop so my friends and I decided to come here to buy some stuff and hang out for a bit. Plenty of stock and plenty of seats to sit down on to play a game or go through your stuff you bought. Lots of other things for your decks too like card sleeves, deck boxes, dice sets if you needed em, and even snacks. They even sell single cards if you're looking for a specific one you might have been missing. The guy that runs the place is a really chill dude. Into his work so he knows his stuff if you ever had any questions. Coolest part was when my group and I were just talking, we had mentioned Magic Arena. It's an online version of it that's in its closed beta phases right now. He overheard us saying that we still haven't gotten an invite for it and came over to give us a couple of invite codes. Will definitely be going back again. read more

My first experience of the store, I had just started getting into Magic the Gathering and not being comfortable I was not sure what I needed. The owner and a random customer both directed me with card packs I may want to look into and gave me some advice. And I tell you what I've been going there ever since read more

My love for this place continues to grow. I am horrible with names and I wish I could say I remember the gentleman that has been always nice to beginners such as myself... James? A fellow with glasses - thank you for your hospitality for taking the time to answer all my questions. In addition to my frequent shop-runs, I have competed in my first ever magic night/tournament - in entering the first game day for the Born of the Gods event. I have been a spectator at other shops' events and this was by FAR a much more casual environment than I have seen elsewhere. While there were the "standard" (hah, pardon my pun for those that play mtg), intimidating forces, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of helpful and kind, experienced players there were. The event went smoothly and without a hitch. While standard constructed is EXTREMELY competitive, I did not mind participating at Durdle. Kudos! read more

I recently got back into playing magic the gathering with my friends. I found about this place through Yelp and online websites. The staff is friendly and always willing to answer any questions I have. They carry a wide assortment of trading card games and the prices are reasonable. If your into more of the competitive scene they regularly host tournaments. There's a lot of table space so you can play comfortably. Overall, this is one of the best trading card game shops on the island and I will be coming back. read more

If your more focused in Magic the Gathering then this place is the right spot for you! Durdle Zone also have some snacks and drinks you can nibble on when your bit hungry, they are okay if you bring your own foods as long as you don't make too much mess and throw away your trash. Durdle Zone is located on the second floor in the right corner. read more

I find it pretty amusing that Jelly's downstairs refers to this as "the magic card store." I asked an employee if they knew where Durdle Zone was and they said "no idea, but there's the magic card store upstairs." The night before we decided to stop by this place, I deliberately called them up to ask if they buy back Pokemon cards. They said they did, but not for very much. That's cool with me. I figure, if I can get rid of these cards, I don't really care as long as I can get something back. When we arrived, it was a much different story. The guy barely looked at the cards. Out of the hundreds of cards I brought to the store, he only looked through the pile of rares and shinies and in the end, he bought back none of them. I feel I've been a bit misled, but I guess I should've known better. Then I asked about purchasing a box to hold cards in. They had a bunch of sizes and ultimately, I decided I wanted to get one that wasn't too long. The guy behind the counter INSISTED that I should spring for the longer boxes because it holds x-amount more cards for just a quarter more. He INSISTED that it won't take up that much space, that storing it won't be difficult, that it's worth the money. The box I wanted was a dollar and could fit into a shopping bag. The box that he was pushing was $1.25 and longer than my forearm. I extremely dislike being pressured into buying something I don't want but he kept insisting. I should have just walked out but instead, I bought the longer box to make him stop. When I went home, I measured the amount of cards that I actually had next to the box the guy sold me. There was about 5 inches of extra space in that box. That box is now sitting in the back of my car filled with air. Wasted money driving to this place, then wasted even more money buying something that wasn't what I wanted. Not too happy with my experience with this place. read more

I had been long looking for a shop to call my home shop. I'm proud to call durdle zone that shop. They have an amazing owner and staff who foster friendship and community through gaming. The other players are friendly and jovial. The prices have consistently been the best on island. Can't beat $3 packs of standard mtg! Also they are open late and tend to stay open well after closing which allows people who work normal hours the ability to play. I've really enjoyed playing here and in the many events hosted. Thank you Jeff and Durdle Zone! read more

Haven't played after several years. Returning to play casual Commander and needed Dragon Shields and lands. Still very friendly customer service. read more

This is an excellent card shop. They are new but definitely worth the trip. FNM's are usaly pretty much solid all the time. Prices on singles very slightly but the guys that run the place are pretty fair across the board. I went 2 weeks ago for standard constructed that was a blast. After the tournament we stayed till after 1 playing when we left there were people still playing. Good time great people and a whole lot of fun. read more

This store could be my second home. I find myself there 3-6 times a week buying/selling/trading cards, or playing the various tournaments Durdle has scheduled. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. James had my name memorized by my second visit. Durdle Zone also has a very convenient website where you can search for cards and place orders both at home, and in store. read more

By far my favorite shop. I absolutely love the workers, everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. If you're in to card games this place is a must read more

Best place to play MtG on Island by far. Standard on Fridays at 6:30pm sometimes followed by draft. Modern on Saturdays at 4:30pm and even Legacy sometimes on Sundays. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly, the community is strong and there's always EDH for those who want it. Snacks available in-house and never a dull moment among those who call Durdle Zone their second home. Highly recommended for novices and veterans alike. You might even run into a pro tour player or two on a random night. read more
