This place is nice and the employees are very friendly and helpful but if you're looking to buy trading card products, you have to go here on Fridays for the best chance at getting something. Fridays are their restock days and in my experience, going here any other day isn't worth it if you're looking for trading cards. You might get lucky and find something leftover on Saturdays but if you go here on Sundays you're picking through the bottom of the barrel. I imagine Tuesdays-Thursdays are the same. Even if you show up on a Friday like I did today, the store could get screwed over by their distributor and receive limited stock. Otherwise this place has a large selection of games, collectibles, and toys. They also have a cafe which I haven't tried yet. read more

Really awesome space with dedicated tables to play games with your friends, a cool cafe and food area (great desserts and drinks!!!), and I love that you can also buy cards there too! Attended a few events in Game Vault and each time, the staff were super accommodating and nice! read more

To everyone reading this. Do you love amazing sandwiches with some in house baked bread? Do you feel like enjoying what might be the best Parm Chicken sandwich you have ever had? Do delicious and perfectly cooked fries sound like a good time? Then what are you doing not eating here already? The food in the Cafe part of this amazing game store is delicious. The newest addition to the crew which I can only describe as an amazing Patissier, brings you amazing pastries. From finger licking tres leches cakes and its variations, delicious cream puffs, and everything in between and themed, if you find yourself with a sweet tooth this is a must place to stop by. They run drinks as well, and although i haven't jumped in to try most the simple fact they have Boylan soda on tap makes it worth it for me! So come in, grab a fun game to enjoy with friends or family, order up some delicious food, leave room for a perfect dessert and take a drink to accompany you home! read more

Everything. A lot. Many to mention. So many I can't remember it all. All I can really remember is joy.

Update: I love this place so much I work here now! Working here 6 months, I still feel this is a wonderful 3rd space where I can play games and unwind. The perks for working here make it so easy for me to spend back at the store! read more

The kids come here to trade cards, I come here to trade calories. The Poke Kids day was a huge success with giveaways and it's going to be monthly on Saturdays from 1-3pm until they staff up. This place is huge, about 3x the size of the original Game Vault and the kitchen is no exception. The owner is a trained Cordon Blue chef and the pastries and bread here are made in house.‍ Now that they have a bigger kitchen their menu expanded, they have amazing new items like this cheddar and broccoli soup bread bowl. It's perfect for this cold weather and I got the last one as they had to bake more. Come out and check out their new location. They have a calendar with events on their social media and Discord. read more

As usual we had a great experience at Game Vault! We ended up going 2 days in a row so I'll give a review of both days! October 7: we went in just to shop around and see what they have new. David was super helpful and actually showed us a new game that my gf and I would enjoy! We also picked up a Pride Uno game and a magnet! October 8: We came in to pick up my Pokémon celebration pre order! We first stopped and grabbed some lunch and then headed over to talk to David and get our order! David is always such a gem and great to talk to! read more

My husband discovered this store about a year ago. He has preordered Magic cards from here on numerous occasions and uses this location for cards and items he needs. The employees are very friendly and they are often busy...which is a great sign! The board game selection here is so fun. They have many great games you wouldn't find at a large chain store and they are very helpful in making suggestions for family games. We have found a few games here that we love and our kids do as well. Overall if you are looking for a card and game store in El Paso this is the place! read more

Game Vault - Game Store & Cafe - Even casoh likes it - Tabletop Games Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I do not recommend this place. I'm not a confrontational person or a thief. I got kicked out after being followed around by an employee. Other blacks Americans I have spoken to have been kicked out for no reason. This employee claimed they were removing me because they didn't want me in the store? Gave me a bunch of nonsense reasons when I was minding my own business z I spoke to no one that particular visit but the employee. This was some time ago but I've heard the behavior hasn't changed. If you don't welcome people of color just say so. Don't be hostile or unwelcoming. That was my experience here and it was completely unwarranted. read more

I've never really been a gamer. I would say I'm more of a gambler! Going to casinos and Vegas is my jam! Anyway...A good friend, who's also a foodie like myself, constantly raves about Game Vault's pizza and desserts. I decided to check them out the other day. I'm really glad I did because it's pretty nice. They have tons and tons of games, puzzles, Magic cards, toys and more for sale. They even have game tournaments. They were having one on the day I went. The employees were nice and friendly. I went kind of late in the evening. They were already out of the pizza my friend likes so I didn't get to try it. A few desserts were available when I went. I decided to get a large chocolate cupcake. It was delicious! The frosting was perfect and just the way I like it, fluffy and not too sweet. It was whipped cream rather than buttercream or fondant. The cupcake was moist and even had some caramel filling inside of it. That made the cupcake taste even better for me! Straight up perfection here! Me and my friend like the same kinds of food so I knew Game Vault was going to be a hit before trying it for myself. I will be back to try the pizza and other desserts sometime. I'll have to go earlier in the day next time. Sorry no pics this time! I'll save that for another time. Try their cupcakes if you get a chance! I'm sure their pizza is just as good or even better. My friend has good taste in food...and picking out his friends. He chose me as a friend so there you go. LOL. I'm kidding, peeps! I'm really the lucky one to have him as a friend for around 30 years now! :) read more

Really cool game store ! I have been wanting to go here for ages . They have a little bakery area with food and drinks if you get hungry . It's huge and clean . There are booths to relax in and lots of tables to game . Best game store in El Paso by far ! read more

Very professional The employees are very helpful & willing to stop what they are doing to help you out and give recommendations on what products are best for every player even going as far as recommending some deck builds for MTG. The used games section is a bit slim pickings but they carry everything from Sega Game Gear to the Nintendo's Switch. They also offer discounts for military personnel! read more

I love this place! But before I get into the reasons I have to give a shoutout to the El Paso single scene. Ladies, there are a lot of single guys here!! A Lot, and there is no girls here. They have tournaments for guys playing magic. So Just FYI. Maybe not a bad place cuz the odds are good 50 to 1. So. I love to have game nights! Get a couple of friends together. But sometimes, the typical Taboo and Guesstures can get a little old. Last night we played Codenames Pictures a lot of fun and very different from the typical game. That I bought here. They have a back room where you can play and try out the games. There were so many games that I have wondered if they were any and wanted to try. And so MANY more I have never ever seen, That you get to try out and play. The owners are super savvy and can recommend anything your heart desires. Tip: Don't try and read the directions to figure some of these games out just you tube how to play and type in game name. We had one game to which I can't remember the name but it was kinda like dominos with a sim city twist with castles, knights and farmers very fun. We read the directions and were so confused then someone else in our group. Had this ingenious idea then it all made sense. I was ready to give up. Bring your credit card and a couple of friends to figure out what games are gonna be our next game nights fun. read more

I really wish this place was closer to my side of town. I have been in the Games Workshop hobby for over 26 years now and this is one of the nicest shops I have been to over the years in my hobby. The few times I have gone to see and/or make a purchase, I am always treated very well and have been asked for help. Very big selection. My kids liked the mini cafe. The new location is very big and surprisingly well stocked. I will definitely make the trip over there more often. read more

The place for board games and other geeky needs. They have board game afternoons 12-5pm on Sundays and Tuesday evenings. Mostly will be Magic players but a few other groups will be playing other games. We joined a group playing League of Legends and had a good time with the co-operative game. They have 100 different games to try out in the store , some simple, others very complex. Amazing variety and great for me and my husband to come try new games without committing to purchasing something you may end up hating. They of course have games for purchase and supplies for gaming as well. Great little place, Geeks Unite! read more

The kitchen is now open at Game Vault, and it is delicious! Come in and try a sandwich on homemade hoagie roll, or a pizza on homemade thin crust--they have a lot of different options, or you can create your own sandwich or pizza! Dessert options are also available, and also delicious! The tournaments are temporarily paused, and the demo games are temporarily unavailable, but you can come in and enjoy a socially distanced meal, or order curbside pickup! The website is also updated, so check it out! If you like board games, tabletop games, card games, or anything, this is the place for you. The staff is friendly, helpful, and really interested in making sure you have fun. They host tons of events for all kinds of games, and there are tons of demo games if you just want to sit and play a game. Whatever day of the week you come in, there is something to do.

This is a cool gaming store. It doesn't have an extensive inventory but it's good enough and just order a game through them if they don't have it. The open gaming area in the back is pretty spacious, I was pretty impressed. They have a board gaming day on Sundays. read more

So, I always wanted to learn how to play the more elaborate board and card games, but unfortunately I didn't know anyone else who played, and more importantly would be willing to teach me. Then last year some Yelp peeps hosted a UYE game meet at Game Vault and I got an "excuse" to visit. Then I found out Game Vault has an active presence on local social media gaming groups, I was able to meet some new peeps and we learn new games together weekly. Game Vault has a ton of demo games and a big game room for us to play in. They also sell lots of games and gaming supplies, board, cards, and even video games; their selection is impressive and the folks who work there are super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. What an awesome place, I love Game Vault, you should check them out! read more

Got to come down to El Paso to visit my brother and his family- and I had to go to the game store they frequent! It's extremely organized and not at all claustrophobic like a lot of game stores I have been to and the stock is insanely good. Picked up an Urshifu V Max deck while I was there. Definitely gonna be my go-to store when I'm down in El Paso! read more

These guys are great- theyve created a cool store. If youve never been, the two full doors without any glass are the main entrance and not side doors! I wish there were a little more on the video game side, but it is always fun to stop in! read more
