I do enjoy playing here and have been a semi-regular customer since they first opened their old location. I have spent hundreds of dollars on product here, on sealled MTG product, deck accessories and DnD books when they first opened. I have gone to multiple pre-releases since then and I do enjoy going to commander here. But with their rising cost for pre-releases and the insane low balling they have given me when asking for trade ins I have been going to other stores more now especially since their move into Northridge. This is a great place to play, especially when your bringing your own deck but any limited format is a higher price than average. We shouldn't let these stores normalize these prices. I can only speak on MTG pricing and trades I have no idea if this is the same for Pokemon and Lorcana etc. I do build Gunpla and their Gunpla pricing is pretty fair but I feel like the Gunpla is really just an afterthought at this store and the sets they have on display are not anything to write home about. I don't remember seeing them selling a bunch of tools to help builders step up their building either. I would much rather buy from a Hobby Shop that's actually dedicated to the craft. read more

Big store with variety of selection. Employees are friendly & knowledgeable. Tuesday seems to be trading night or something idk, there was tables full of people trading cards and stuff. Could be wrong. Everything has different pricing. I believe they carry Pokemon, one piece all kinds of collectables. read more

Fire & Dice - Hobby Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Fire and Dice is located in the Walnut Grove Shopping Center in Northridge. It's the perfect tabletop gaming store, and they host tournaments for D&D, MTG, Pokémon, and more. I've seen tournament entry fees range from about $7 to $20. You can always check out their page for upcoming tournaments, which are super fun. They have tons of board games and other items available for purchase, and it's always exciting to try new games I haven't played before. They're constantly bringing in new products, which makes each visit feel fresh. They're open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends and until 10 p.m. during the week. read more

One of the best card and game shops in the Valley. The staff is friendly and attentive, the facility is clean and spacious, and their stock and supply is top notch. Always busy, but rarely too crowded. This store buzzes with the sense of community. read more

Super nice space I been dropping by here for a while and they finally found a decent space that has the most space so far along with the best suited for everything they are trying to do. Tons of game space to go and enjoy some games with friends and lots of events week round. The people here are pretty chill it seems to be one of the only good spots in the valley for tcg's other then the ones in Burbank but if you are just trying to get games in this the better value option I think. read more

They're so kind and friendly. Pricing was fair and not heavily marked up for booster packs. Love the ambience when there's events, they still tend to customers that aren't playing. Thanks! read more

I have always enjoyed frequenting this establishment. People are very professional and I respect the way they do business. They tend to about 80% of the time have in inventory what I'm looking for. This is very good in comparison to their competition. Their rewards program gives great value for loyalty to your local game store. I highly recommend frequenting this establishment. Very clean, well stocked, & safe. read more

Twice I've gone in to sell my decks. Want to charge you for every aspect of every transaction. Are staffed 6-8 people deep, never have time to help you. Came in 3 1/2 hours before closing with 200 singles. Not possible to price them in that amount of time according to them even though with a scanner it can be done in 20 min. Wanted me to leave my decks overnight. Last time, similar situation but I came closer to closing. 100 singles I was forced to desleeve or be charged, when I was done "oh I'm sorry, the guy who signs the checks left for the night. You'll have to leave them overnight." Super shady business. I just want to sell my decks like a normal human being. I can only imagine how they cheat children. Never going back. read more

Fire & Dice is an outstanding local TCG shop. The space is large and welcoming, and they're one of the few places offering Riftbound singles. Every visit, the staff is friendly, eager to help, and their TCG singles are always priced competitively with TCGplayer. read more

Nice and helpful people here :) I was just browsing the cards and they were very attentive when I needed help. read more

I just went to the new location and absolutely loved it. It feels way more open now and much more accessible. Was a little crowded the day I went because all the tables were being used. This is my go to for any tcg accessories like deck boxes, dice, sleeves, etc. The employee who helped me was very knowledgeable about mtg decks and made some solid recommendations. Some special products are marked up and a bit more expensive than you might find online. read more

This is a wonderful community space for gamers and a really fun place to hang out after work or school. I'm here all the time. They host regular events to play in with plenty of space. They specialize in Magic The Gathering and Pokémon but are expanding into board games and other stuff. They have a large card selection for deck-building and lower event entry fees than other stores of the same type. They now have rooms you can book for DnD plus rooms for streamers. They even have Gundam model kits, which I got for a friend's birthday gift. When you go, make sure you say hi to Adam specifically. He's the best! read more

The whole place stinks like body odor. Some of the staff must be paid to sit there because there would be a line queued up and they're fiddling on their phone doing nothing. Some of the prices on collectors packs are wildly high compared to their market value. $20 mark up? No way! read more

I got into TCG because of my buddy James. It started as collecting then converted into playing the actual game. There are a small handful of LCS on my side of the valley but are slowly thinning. I've known about Fire and Dice for a couple years now but since it is not local to me, I've never been. Until recently. I recently decided to join a pre-release event for the latest Pokémon set. Since I've recently started to build decks and play the game I thought I would like to take the time to experience doing it in public and meeting new people. At first since I didn't know much I was pretty intimidated. While the event started I started to talk to some people around while building the deck. While playing our three rounds, I definitely felt more comfortable, but I may have talked more than played. lol Overall I had a great first experience. I thought I would totally bomb but regardless if I did it was mainly for the social aspect of the event. Comparing FAD to other LCS, I would say that their gaming are is pretty nice. Most LCS' gaming area just feels like tables and chairs laid out and that it. While FAD's gaming area feels like an actual section to play in. I like that they have monitors to designate what is going on and think that is very nice on the presentation and enhances the experience. Parking: small private lot VERDICT: Rinse and repeat read more

The new card location is nice and larger. I do feel like the trade in credit is low. I usually keep a TCG list with me and got less than 50% of the value for the cards. The prices are above market price which feel greedy for already giving me so little in trade value. I would not trade or sell your cards here. Also variety is lacking in Pokemon cards. The displays are half empty. read more

Normally this is a great store, with a great environment, but today I called asking for the availability of the new set of Lorcana, the Disney tcg. Keep in mind, THIS STORE HAS A LORCANA TEAM. Two workers had no idea what I was talking about, and one of them was the manager?! I feel like I'm losing my freaking mind. How do you not even know what Lorcana is? I'm not asking for rules or some abstract thing. YOU HAVE A LORCANA TEAM. ENC, DO BETTER. Employees should be reprimanded at this point. read more

Nice spot. Modest TTRPG selection. Nice staff. Lots of parking. Various other board games and CCG's available.

When you walk in they might not say hi or hello right away cause they are probably dealing with customers. They may not have loose packs on everything you're searching for but they do keep bulk for purchasing. Price is high but so is every else you go. They do take the time and help you search for items. I keep in mind these were probably not the most social kids at school parks parties and most likely bullied for loving these games we enjoy now. so communication maybe off but not in a harmful way they are just expressing the best way they know how. When I went the guy who helped me was super nice helpful and respectful. Will come back again. 10/10 read more

A good amount of items for sale. Very large place to sit down and play card games. They have some singles but a lot of there cards you cant see and are looked up in there system. So as someone who just likes to brows through binders or boxes of bulk that wasn't great but I know a lot of people look for specific cards so if you're that type of collector definitely stop here. Decently priced boxes and singles. read more

Fire and Dice is my favorite game store in town! Large clean space, great inventory, fair pricing and preorders, lots of fun events, and most importantly super friendly and helpful staff! Top tier store for playing trading card games like Magic, Pokemon, Lorcana, and Riftbound. read more

Seriously the best card shop around! I come here for all of my collector needs whether it's sleeves, guards, deck pods, and cards (Pokémon, Lorcana, magic). The customer service is always amazing. If I don't know something, I get really honest feedback and support. They are patient and make friendly conversation. My card collection has grown because of Fire and Dice. I usually come for something here once a month or so. Definitely recommend coming here for all of your card needs. I have seen games and tournaments happening but I have not participated my self. It looks fun though! read more

Today was one of the most disappointing and aggravating moments I've ever experienced in a card store in years. We are one the first customers to show up to play today, we are greeted normally and then sit to play, like we have before, waiting on our 3rd party. Once our 3rd person shows up, another employee rudely states to our friend that he better not forget your table fee. We decided that due to the horrible employee and how our friend was treated, we decided to leave immediately. Honestly just on that alone, ruined the whole store for me. Would not come back unless that employee is gone. Really sad because our other times have been awesome. read more

We went to play DnD. It was inexpensive and everyone was nice. Good time. Lots of laughs. And I got to slay some demons with my best friend.

I love this place! I go to the Pokemon VG tournaments and always have a great time. The store is clean and organized with a nice selection reasonably priced cards. The staff is also very nice and helpful! read more

Heard from a friend that they were doing pre orders for a new set so I called for further information and got treated like i committed atrocities against the entire planet. Asked if I may order the new product and was told "Did you look at the post?" Like as if it were the only way he would continue to speak to me. Answered no and got hung up on. Thought people are actually suppose to help when inquiring about a product. Glad I know they only chose to help who they want. read more

The communication definitely is poor. They are not genuine to their customers at all. Its more of a private click or fraternity than a shop or a friendly community. Its only friendly to those who spend big bucks or have been coming there since they were at their old location. They are not friendly to new comers so their so called community is pretty much a pompous nerd gang. Recommended take your children somewhere genuine and where its not pretending to be a family friendly environment but actually is. They are very over baring about charging an extra fee to enjoy any deck building experience or playing with your friends. Shop does have wonderful inventory and many collectable merch but their over all service is plastic and not worth the time. And they discriminative against people who have mental disabilities, and also have a sub conscious borderline prejudice bias against those who practice their religion. No matter how much you spend and show store support. You will never be apart of their so called community. Dont let the smiles and the slogans fool you. Oh and the slightest form of excitement or aggression even if its to be amazed about pre release or anything. It will make them feel cringe uncomfortable and they will complain to management. read more

My 5 year old is a pokemon collector and this is the most reasonable prices I've seen especially when all the big stores are sold out they don't price gouge. The staff is always so friendly and willing to answer any questions we have. We always feel welcomed here. read more

Best game store in town. We come to this store at least once a week to look at the Pokémon cards. They guys are so sweet and helpful. My 9yo ask about 1,000 questions and Dekota answer all of them so nicely and patiently! He really knows his stuff! The store is really good amount of Pokémon cards, dragon shield, games of thrones cards and many more games. They also offer classes and/or tournaments. read more

I was initially very nervous to visit FAD. I've had mostly bad experiences at card shops in recent years. It was great to finally find a place where people are friendly and there is a community of women who play. Being the only women playing a tournament can be really anxiety inducing. I felt very welcome by everyone I met. When I was leaving a player from a completely different card game then the one I was playing waved goodbye to me. Overall I got the vibe that people are very friendly who go here and everyone I met I had good interactions with. Some card shops exist purely to push products onto their customers. Fire and dice clearly cares about having a good environment to game in and that goes a long way. I immediately noticed the play area is like triple the size of the store area. One of the biggest issues I have with my local card shop is they are great to buy stuff from, but no one goes there to play. This was a great change of pace for me. I've showed up to my local card shop and we've not even had drafts for Friday night magic because no one showed up. This was definitely worth the drive and I'm gonna start coming every Monday for flesh and blood. read more

Fire & Dice - I played fai today for my first FAB sealed event - Hobby Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My few times visiting this store have for the most part been very negative. I have never been greeted when walking into the store, in fact it feels like they purposefully make an effort to not acknowledge you and to bury their face into their inventory computers or be on their phones behind the counter. I will say however that when it comes to people who are regular customers they have an entire shift in personality and are welcoming and as social as can be. I understand treating your regular customers well, but to completely disregard a customer like they don't exist but acknowledge a customer they're familiar with who enters after you is just flat out rude and inexcusable as a business. They have an okay selection of products and supplies, however their single cards are priced well above market value. I literally looked up the value of several cards on my phone before entering and they marked up the prices of the cards I was interested in by $5. They told me that they charge tcgplayer prices but that is just a lie. This was of course after I had to nag them to help me. Overall, the customer service here is just bad and can best be described as rude and inattentive. The single cards are very overpriced and not worth it. The selection of card supplies and other products are okay, but every store has the same products at the same or better prices. This place only caters specifically to their small regular customer base who participate in their store events. I would save yourself the trouble and definitely avoid this place entirely especially if you have children. There are much more welcoming card stores that also offer a wider variety of products and singles at way better prices. Also other stores in the same area have much better and welcoming communities. read more

My opinion of Fire & Dice has changed over the past few months. I've been playing a lot of Magic: The Gathering lately and made a commander deck that had some cards that were locally hard to find. I usually prefer to buy local than to resort to online purchases. Suffice to say, I was able to finish 90% of my deck with their help. I would greatly recommend purchasing from them for your MTG needs. They have a wide selection of legacy cards in decent to good condition and will save you a lot of time and money instead of reaching out to the online platform. read more

Great local card and gaming store with various events each week. The guys who run the store are easy going and keep on top of the games, (like the MTG drafts) so the pace doesn't get too bogged down. read more

Great community of the players both casual and competitive. Large space for play areas and the staff know what theyre talking about.

I'm new to card collecting, and this was the only place I could find that carried LOTR MTG packs. Staff was nice and helpful in my experience. Highly recommend this place! read more

Pretty cool guys who run the shop. Helped me right away with all my needs for my collections. Keep rockin guys!

Fun atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Great community. Excellent service. Everything a store should be.

I'm truly not sure how this place has so many positive reviews. If you're planning on going to a tournament here, I'd advise against it. You will waste your time and gas for no reason. Try A Hidden Fortress in Simi Valley, the owner and staff are FAR superior to this establishment read more

When the commander wants to play commander ... this is the place to go! Helpful Staff! Great times ahead of those to come to relax and play some magic and other games! read more

Great and friendly environment Super friendly staff Small sections on tabletop games But a wide variety of tcg cards And very open space for playing tcg/tabletop Will def stop by again when around the area read more

We have been buying cards from this store for a few years. I recently came in to the store to have about 50 cards that I wanted to sell priced from them. It was a busy evening and the gentleman asked me to leave the cards so he could go through them in the next couple of days in which I said ok. When I went to pick them up because I decided to not sell them because there price was way too low they charged me $20 for pricing them. WTF. How cheap can you be to charge us for pricing cards because you didn't have time to do it originally because you were too busy. So cheap. Will not go back and I suggest anyone selling cards knows about this policy which they didn't represent to us when we left them for their convenance. read more
