    Ok, new manager, a lot of new staff... and it smells better. Wide variety of games for sale, prices are good, not great but they are good. TCG is meh, no case (no real room for it really), they have game event nights which is nice. No real single collection to go through. Tables for mini war gamers, battletech, warhammer, conquest, stars and all that jazz. That's who this store is really meant for. Great selection of paint and tools. Overall a great hobby store, if it's TCG (specifically MTG) was better I would give the store 5/5 stars. Who knows what the future holds though! If they improve this I will update this again.

    I want to be clear that the staff was very kind but the service follow through was lacking. On the official Discord it was posted that customers would be able to purchase 3 packs of Lorcana Boosters and a single other item. This was not the case. The first customer to be allowed to purchase was seen buying a Disney 100 Gift Set, a Floodborn Trove, and a playmat. It's unclear if they also purchased boosters. These are some of the most sought out items and to be waiting in line and see this happen was distressing and felt wholly unfair. I missed out on my purchase of the item I wanted, while I watched this man make out like a bandit I wish the posted rules on the official Discord had been followed. I met with other customers at the Fremont Game Kastle who were also at the Santa Clara location earlier that morning who also witnessed this purchase. Fremont Game Kastle did a great job at making sure each customer only purchased one item. I'm not going to be returning to the Santa Clara location after seeing how this release was handled.

    I liked this shop as it has a variety of board games but this is the reason why everyone orders from Amazon instead of local businesses. I wanted to buy Dominion second edition so I checked online and found out Amazon was selling it for 33 (with delivery) and game kastle was selling it for 38. I like to support local business so I decided to visit game kastle and buy it from there instead despite higher price. When I reached there I realized the local price for the same game was 45 and they didn't match with their own website. Lol what? I paid about 11-12 dollars extra which is like 33% higher price and had to pick up from the store. You should buy from here if you need guidance on what to get otherwise if you know what you want, other online places would be cheaper.

    Thank you for checking with us. Our Mountain View location does purchase Magic cards, but our other locations are not setup quite yet. We unfortunately do not buy or sell Yu-Gi-Oh. I am not sure if Channel Fireball still does, but you may want to…

The collection is…read moremassive, with every genre and skill level covered, and the upkeep is genuinely impressive: every single card is individually sleeved in plastic, so the games always feel brand new. The space is spotless, well-organized, and the staff make you feel instantly welcome. They've also got snacks and drinks on hand, so there's zero reason to leave once you've settled in. Needless to mention, unlike almost any other board game cafe in the Bay Area, they don't charge you just to sit and play. On top of that, they have a huge collection of comic books, board games, and comics-related items and artifacts available to purchase, so it's easy to walk out with more than you came in for. I love this place so much that it's always hard for me to leave. They close at 7 PM on weekends, and every single week, I find myself wishing I had just a little more time before heading out. If you want a calm, genuinely fun way to spend an afternoon, this is the spot in the entire Bay Area.

Inventory is really thoughtful, they have a fantastic selection of anything a nerdy heart could desire. Definitely recommend. My fiance also comes here for MtG events, and he has nothing but glowing things to say about this place.

    My favorite board game shop!! Whenever I travel, I try to check out all the board game shops I can,…read moresince they're so few and far between. Illusive is just unmatched. The customer service, the vibe, and the selection are all sooo good. I got into board games about a year ago, and discovering that you can play games for free in-store or rent from their huge selection for a small fee was a game changer. It really helped me and my partner figure out what kinds of games we liked before committing to a purchase. Every time I'm in, or whenever I have questions, the employees are so accommodating and kind. You can tell they genuinely know their stuff about every game they carry. They're also dog friendly, inclusive, creating a really welcoming community that i really appreciate!

    I moved from Sacramento to Santa Clara recently for work. This store has the largest space I've…read moreseen for players in Santa Clara (from what I've seen) whether it's tabletop or to play a card game. I came in an hour before closing. As soon as I walked in, I was immediately greeted. They asked if I was looking for anything and was shown to the card sleeve section. I've been to multiple stores that specialize in cards. Why was this the ONLY place where I found a large assortment of card sleeves for players!! Lol I met Anna(?) or Ann, and customer service was amazing, gave all information I was asking for, and showed me the weekly schedule. I am more of a mega competitive player (but not a sore winner ;-)), so I wanted to know what their schedule looked like, what is their most supported game, etc. I believe this is a more chill, casual, friendlies kind of vibe (not a bad thing at all), and I'd be open to doing more drafts or pre-release kits or something. Hoping to bring in my coworkers and friends! I can tell that they care very much about making sure they can support their community and create an inclusive and healthy space. Masks are not a big deal for me, they're effective especially nowadays with allergies, new viruses, whatever lol Lots of different card games in stock and tabletop games for rent, a cute dog and a big space for players.. but what really made things great was speaking with Al about Witch Hat Atelier. I've been to a lot of comic book stores, and I'll see the "Favorite Picks", but that's about it. Al and I talked about it, we went through the art, explained the intro, and it really brought me in. Al's passion for stories really made me want to look at this series. I didn't buy it, but I can honestly say that I'd love to come back to the store to find out what the next big thing is Al will share with me. I can sense that these folks are passionate, accommodating, and personable. Hoping for further successes!

    Legends is a great place for finding collectibles and trading cards. I've been to this location…read moremultiple times and the employees were all very nice. During my most recent visit, the store was very busy (the checkout line was almost out the door!) but I was able to stop by and pick up the newest issues of The New Batman Adventures and X-Men. I asked an employee if they carried any Batman Beyond, but they didn't. (He was really nice and said he wished they carried more of it though!) This specific location of Legends has a very limited comic/manga selection and no back issues. If you're looking for comics, I recommend going to the Legends location at Eastridge Mall, which has a better selection of trade paperbacks, back issues, and current issues. This Valley Faire location sells mostly trading cards, collectibles/statues/figurines, Funkos, and board games. Overall, I still like coming here even though I don't always buy something! I always come back to look around at new items when I find myself in the Valley Faire area.

    Very Disappointing Experience at the New Location…read more I was a loyal customer at their old location. They would always ask what I was looking for, and it felt like a very human experience. This time, I was looking for a card for my baby cousin, but I will not be returning to the new location after my experience today. I walked in and was completely ignored, albeit it is standard for a deadbeat college student not to give a fuck. My main problem was when I threw my trash into the trash can, like most people would. Twenty minutes later, while I was browsing all the pretty cards, the worker came up to me to say that the trash can is not for consumables and shoved it back into my hand in the rudest way possible. That being said, I do understand that they don't give a fuck. They're just there to make ends meet and want to continue the banter with the coworker who was allegedly an hour late. To be quite honest, I usually just take rude interactions and move on with my life, because life would be miserable if everyone started pointing fingers. It would just start a game of he said, she said, and I would rather keep the peace, but this experience just has to be heard. It was unprofessional, rude, and lazy. If your staff is more interested in gossiping than serving customers, you have a serious training and management problem at this new location. Realistically, nobody important is going to give a fuck, since people just come and go in most places, but for this experience, I just thought I'd let my thoughts be heard. All that being said, the products were great, just the workers there were not the greatest. I guess if you Wana just window shop or just enter and not be bothered it's the perfect place for you. Just don't toss ur trash in their trash. I understand that there j Is a trash can like 30 feet away just the way they were t about it was the most immoral way about jr.
