Always a pleasure every time. The staff are friendly and passionate about what they do. Their selection and variety of product is impressive , and they genuinely want to help you find what you're looking for, even if they don't have it in stock. Given the current state of physical media, especially in gaming, stores like this are more important now than ever. read more

My first time here was for one of their events they hosted (2025 Summer Game Show) where you could sell/trade/buy games and collectibles from different vendors. It's a large, spacious shop so it was no trouble hosting the large amount of people that they had throughout that day. I was there for half the day and it felt quite warm inside until the end of the event, so bring a portable fan if you overheat easily. Staff were regularly checking up on customers who were browsing their products and very open to assisting if needed. Selling is a quick process if you know what you want and there's not a long que of others waiting to sell. Business is business, make sure you have a price in mind and they may try to work with it. read more

Friendly staff and great welection I called ahead to confirm they had the Pokemon packs that my nephew had on his wishlist. Very knowledgeable about TCG and held the packs for me to come and get a couple of hours later. Great set up with lots of tables in a welcoming environment to play. read more

sold me a black label game with a greatest hits disc and would not let me return it for a proper copy at black label value

Great selection of things. Slightly more expensive than the regular shop I go to. Staff member seemed annoyed with a question I asked but maybe they were having a bad day. read more

Absolutely LOVE Fire and Ice! The location is awesome. The shop is HUGE and is full of Pokemon cards, Magic cards, retro games, and other TCG products. I come here often to shop for Pokemon cards. They constantly have new cards and I feel they have the best prices on singles because they are constantly getting trades in and have the most accurate market prices. This location also has events and card shows often. I can't express how much I love Fire and Ice. read more

I absolutely have loved coming to fire and ice for the last 2 years. My bf and I love being apart of the community they have there and all the fun events they have going on all the time. We do our best to come to them every month event wise or stopping by every week or two for cards or more retro games. We love it here. Everyone is so nice all the time so very helpful. Dakota, Alma, Ryan, and everyone is always making sure we have what we need or even hold it Untill I get paid next. I have the best times there. We recently got a GameCube and are going to be getting more classics here! Definitely check them out they will make u have the best experience or help u with any questions or games ur looking for. They have a wide variety of cards and games all around. They're always adding new things to their collection or getting the new latest thing. Here's a collection of events we been too and cards we got that we have loved. They also have the best plushies there most of em come from Japan and are so detailed and soft. If I had more money I'd be here everyday. We're looking foreword to celebrating when the Folsom location opens as well! We been going to both here and Citrus Heights and love both locations. Thank u Ryan and everyone for making us feel so welcome. read more

Fire and Ice is a good retro game store. They have everything from old consoles to games. Cool decor and interior. A lot of different games for everyone. The middle part of the store had a lot of tables/chairs for people playing games. The prices seemed kind of high but the quality is there. Good service from staff member that helped with getting a game. Huge parking lot read more

Bottom feeder. Brought it in some hot pulls, worth into the thousands. Seriously offered a few hundred dollars and the had the chutzpah to say that's the best one could get. Went over to his competitor, and easily got several thousand for an offer. You're a real "leader" Ryan. Seems you have a growing track record for this sort of demeanor too. Pride comes before a great fall--keep it up. Your appetite is starting to outgrow your capital, along with that "vision" of yours. "Cuh" read more

I told myself I would not come back here the first time but had to go for my little cousin. I will admit they have a very wide variety of pokemon/mtg and other nick nacks only for their scalping prices, which is reasonable for a business but man this place is targeting people who are just coming into the hobby. Be aware of the condition of the cards and the price it is listed at. Looked for a specific card and saw it was sold for a near mint market price but was in fact definitely moderately played. I went in when it was not busy but was neglected for about 15 min of trying to grab some cards from the shelf. (Yes I could've asked but wanted to see when I would be acknowledged). Don't know if it was because I was with a semi large group with some teens and didn't want our business or it was something else. It wasn't until Cooper helped us out and was very patient with the group and had an actual conversation with us. However, the bald headed owner gave me a rude smirk when the worker asked if I could trade in for a higher percentage (5% which as only $1-2 more) that I was asking for. If you want good business make the drive to Golden State TCG where you will have a much better experience in trading/selling, basically anything. Even so make the extra drive to Ultimate Spice Gaming if you want to feel welcomed. Trade in prices are 50-60% here depending on the value of your card. Definetly take your business elsewhere. read more

Always have my cute sparkly cards, Drifbloobs and Dakota has a cool squirtle tattoo ! read more

Fire and Ice is a huge space with tons of modern and retro games. As with any store in this industry, the resale prices for used games can be quite high for in-demand sought after games (big franchises like Pokemon for example), but the selection is quite deep so even if you're looking for smaller games, chances are you might be able to find it. The staff is great and really helpful. I was looking for a 3DS copy of Dragon Quest 8, which they didn't have at the time but took my phone number down and called me right away once they had a copy that was brought in. I'm also a big trading card game player as well, so it's nice to see the variety of games that they have, as well as being incredibly fair when it comes to selling Pokemon singles to them as well. I'm mainly a Digimon Card Game player, so the only frustrating part is that they don't usually carry booster boxes there and if they do, it's not the latest set, which isn't a big deal. Still, it's nice to drop by with buddies and have a space to play from time to time since they host plenty of events through the week with a lot of open tables to play other games in between. All in all, if gaming of any medium is a hobby you've been into or are trying to get into, Fire and Ice is the place to go read more

Great store! The set up is vast and fun, but the employees are what sold me. Very knowledgeable and helpful especially for beginners. Highly recommend trying out their events too! read more

Whenever my wife and I travel, be it for business or pleasure, we try to find a card shop or two to visit and grab some singles. In June we were up in the Sacramento area. After scouring the reviews of the wonder people of Yelp, we elected to visit Fire and Ice. We were not disappointed. This is one of the largest and cleanest game shops I have been in. The people were pleasant and knowledgeable. I ended up purchasing a booster box of Pokemon Cards and opening them right there in the shop. Just walking around their shop, there are so many cool things, retro games, TCGs, wall decorations, Amiibos, just so much GAMING stuff! If I am ever in the area again, it will be hard to check out a new shop, because I will definitely ensure that I make time to visit this one again. read more

Best retro video game store we've seen, my 5 year old is *addicted* to this store!! Ryan and staff are super knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, we're still in awe over the selection and they are priced well. They randomly gifted him a plush Captain America his first time in, totally made his day. Little did they know his grandmother was in the hospital and he was having a hard time with it. Thank you guys! read more

It's a great store if your looking for singles or games. But the selling of sealed currently available items at a scalper price honestly disappoints me. An item that's $15 at target down the road is $30 here and the markups go on everything. I understand games and collectibles but that's like selling items with the intention of ripping off your customers that keep your store alive. The staff is friendly and helpful and the selection of item is amazing but I've even seen items well over the going price. I wish this would change and do right by your customers but although I've had good experiences here, this one seemed to of rubbed me the wrong way. read more

The place is nice but customer service not so nice!!! I went in the other day asked an Employee if they happened to have a PlayStation game Employee said let me check for you and after about maybe 15 min... I started to look why employee hadn't come back to tell me and seen the employee was in the middle of the store on the table eating; I just walked out!!! read more

I love this store. They do such a great job with events, building community, and setting the tone for what best-in-class collectibles can look like. I've been a customer for the last few years and can't wait for their second location! I drive from across town to give them business. Just picked up my Elsa today! Specifically I really like working with the owner, Lee their COO, and Jesse. I can't wait to see the rest of the cards from this grading batch! Keep up the awesome service! read more

Consistently the best store to come to with the friendliest and most knowledgeable staff. I have had great interactions with the owner, store managers, and all of the staff. Everyone is always welcoming and super helpful, whether I am buying, selling, or just browsing, we make a point to stop by monthly. My kids love to come in and wander the store and look at all of the cool games or cards they have out on display. The store is a great size, filled with anything a hobbyist could need and is very welcoming to everyone! I cannot say enough good things about Fire and Ice, I will be coming here with my kids for a long time to come! read more

Awesome customer service. Just got into collecting Pokémon cards and Dakota was nice enough to induce me to their selections. Even though I didn't get any 151 packs that I was looking for, Dakota made sure that I didn't leave empty handed and treated me to one of the Trick or Treat promo packs! Will definitely be back for the prismatic evolution release. Thank you! read more

Friendly and helpful staff. Lots of games, systems and cards with fair price-value. There for all your gaming needs!

5/5. Absolutely love this place. As someone who grew up playing video games this place is incredibly nostalgic. Their selection of games, consoles and cards are top tier compared to anywhere else I have found. It truly feels like being a kid again and walking into blockbuster to buy some games. Prices are fair for the games and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Quick shout out to Alma at this location for his knowledge, swagger and style! read more

This place... is HUGE. One of the largest used game stores I've been to with a ridiculous selection of games and accessories across every console generation for Intellivision to PS5. Multiple copies of very rare games and a number of unlicensed and 3rd party games. Prices are fair for a collector-focused store and you don't have to worry about shipping fees or damage in transit. The staff are very friendly, very knowledgeable, and love to hear the deep cuts of lore about games. They're collectors too, and have some of the funniest oddities to talk about. There's also a huge game space for tournaments and TCG drafts and meetups. Overall one of the best game shops in the area, and right off of 65. Can't beat it. read more

Very happy with the level of quality products and excellent customer service. Each trip to this store is like a walk down memory lane. Pure nostalgia. Every item has great value and is kept in Great to Near Mint Condition. I also appreciate the service to shrink wrap certain items for longevity. I can confidently say that this store is the definitive best Retro Gaming store in NorCal. Many thanks and respect to Ryan, Dare, Jessie, Phil, Cooper, Lee, Glenn, and team at Fire & Ice Games. read more

I've been to multiple card stores, and the selection and service here is GREAT. Dakota was highly focused and helpful, there were certain cards I was searching for that he worked hard to help me locate and price. 10/10 experience read more

Truly used to love this store when they first opened. But they are just a Pokemon scalper with a store front now. You will never get product near MSRP expect double or triple. New booster boxes are $300+. You are better off buying from a regular scalper because at least you don't have to pay sales tax. read more

I am first timer there and I was impressed. Brought me back to the past when I saw vintage Nintendo games and the toys r us giraffe. Huge selection on games, pokemon, magic, yu-gi-oh and other cards. Customer service was great. Will definitely be going back. read more

One of the best spots around for TCGs and classic games. You can tell the owner genuinely cares about the community. If you're into TCGs or retro games, this place is a must-visit. Honest, helpful, and easy to support. read more

The absolute LARGEST selection of retro games I have seen anywhere. Will absolutely be visiting again when I get the chance.

My son came in here with one of his Pokémon cards and he didn't realize the amount it was worth. He was thinking around $200 and the employee informed him it was worth $600!!! Their honesty and integrity was amazing and they set such a good example to my boys. Made his day!! Thank you guys so much, we will be back and referring all of their friends who collect Pokémon cards! read more

I have visited a lot of retro video game stores throughout the state to include the Bay Area, Southern California, Central Valley... and numerous other places. I've also been collecting retro video games for over 15 years and have been an avid gamer for over 40 years. So I say this with conviction.... Fire and Ice Games is quite possibly the best retro video game store in all of California. The moment you walk in the door you are overwhelmed with the sheer size of this place. The square footage is unreal. You could probably fit a diesel truck and two trailers in this place. No exaggeration. Secondly... their game inventory is unbelievably massive. They have video games for every system you could think of from Dreamcast to TurboGrafx-16 to Sega CD to Virtual Boy and of course NES, SNES, GameCube, PlayStation 1 - 5, and all the XBOX's with their confusing names (lol) and so many more. You can tell that the staff at Fire and Ice Games care about their product. Each game appears to have been cleaned and cared for and is placed in a protective plastic sleeve; making each used game feel new again. In addition to a great selection of common titles with reasonable prices, they have sooo many heavy hitters (rare and pricey games) here! It's literally insane. They also have a wide selection of retro game consoles available for those of you just getting into the retro game scene and looking to pick up where they left off in their childhood memories. Also, Fire and Ice has a wide selection of Pokemon cards (if that's your thing) and board games. Matter of fact, I believe a Pokemon tournament was happening the day I showed up. Which was cool. Sorry, I'm an old guy so I don't really understand the card game. Lastly, the best part of this store is not the size, the selection of games, or consoles, but it's their staff. Their staff was quick to help as soon as I walked in the door. I didn't have to seek out assistance, because it seemed like when I appeared that I may have had a question or request, they approached me first to provide immediate help. You can tell they had a deep passion for games, customer service and customer experience. I also had a chance to meet the owner Ryan. He was such a great guy who enjoyed talking about the gaming community. Additionally, I believe the other staff member who helped us was Dare. Dare was super helpful and was excited to talk about games. Dare was awesome!! This place is worth the drive from Lodi!! Much Love to everyone at this shop! I'll definitely be back!! read more

Received a Christmas gift this year from my grandfather. He ended up buying me a game I already owned. Honest mistake. No biggie I thought, game was never opened. Called in to ask what the policy was on exchanges and I was quickly told I'm basically told I'm "SOL" and that there are no circumstances that warrant an exchange or return. Best they could do is a 1/2 store credit. So now my gift has depreciated in value because it left the store even if it's unopened. Ive never had to exchange a game so maybe this is how the world is but I've never heard of this. First time dealing and doing business with but won't be back unfortunately. Tried to support local business read more

I come here about 3-4 times a month, either by myself or with my wife and kid, and it's always great service with a great selection. Shout out to the closing team tonight, especially Dakota and Jesse. They made the space feel even more safe and fun for my son, even when he's just 2 years old. read more

I came into the store all the way from Natomas and was politely greeted by Dakota who answered any questions I had about my problem. I was looking for a specific AC Adapter and right away he helped me out. In no time at all he had me on my way with a good working cable. He was super kind and even invited me to learn to play a card game on sundays. It made my visit that much more worth it and I am excited to come back soon. read more

If you're looking for a clean copy of a retro game, Fire and Ice will most likely have it! read more
