Great selection of cards and they're sorted VERY well. I love the binders they have. The event host and counter staff were incredibly kind to the kids and I was so happy to see that. This is by far the best shop I've been to in the area. It checkmarks everything I look for. I am already planning my next trip to the area, hopefully with more people! They definitely got my business

The prices are really good compared to other shops I have been to in the Tacoma / Seattle area. I paid only $3 for a hand painted DND miniature! They had a wide selection, and had place holders for the missing items / more popular items (aka - The Unicorn). You at least knew that they ordered it regularly and it would be back in with the next shipment. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the table/ card games they carry. They are happy to make suggestions or recommendations if you are purchasing something for a gift someone else. There is a back area for game play. On my most recent visit, there was already a group playing at 11:10am, only 10 mins after opening. It was on a Saturday though, so maybe a more popular day for kiddos. I would check before you go to makes sure there is space, in the even you want to play table games. This place feels local. If you need something, ask. I am sure the people here are more than willing to help you!

The staff was also friendlier and helpful. If you're looking for Pokémon cards, this is definitely not the best place to look for them. They had a bunch of single cards displayed and it looks pretty randomized. Not a good variety and honestly looks disorganized. They at least have a decent amount of sealed products, but everything was above market price. The staff wasn't friendly, nor were they interactive. The place wasn't that organized. There's a decent amount of table with you want to play card games with your friends.

My boyfriend and I enjoy checking out local trading card game stores and we wanted to check out…read moresome stores that we haven't been to. We had stopped by Kent for a meal and decided to check out The Game Shelf as they weren't too far. The parking is huge and shared with a lot of businesses and it was Friday evening, so it took a little bit of time to find parking. Once we parked, we entered into the store and were greeted politely by the cashier. There was a Magic the Gathering event going on and it looks like their events calendar always has something going on each day which is great. They even did Final Fantasy TCG which we have yet to see anywhere else and we have been to card shops in several parts of Washington. They had quite a massive selection of wares from desk mats, card holders, sleeves, deck boxes, board games, dice, and much more. We bought a few things and as we were checking out, the cashier mentions to us about their reward system which is a character sheet that you can fill out and there are six slots that they will add up from each amount you spent. Depending on how much you spend will determine your discount which I think is really neat and unique from other card shops. It rewards you no matter how much you spend rather than a point system that could take more than a few purchases to accumulate. I also asked if they were dog friendly and they are, they just ask that your dog is well-behaved, don't make a fuss or bother other patrons, and to clean up after them.

I felt bad because the person working there was clearly chilling and I felt bad to disturb their morning relaxing time before they started work. They still greeted me and were friendly and kind.

Every Friday at 7pm is D&D night with a group who are willing to teach you:) they have events and other games there as well that people come to play. They have a fridge with drinks as well for purchase and games you can play off the shelf.

In fact: she didn't have the game, but she recommended not one but two other stores for me to check in with. In the end, one of those stores actually did have the game in stock, and I never would have known about it if not for the helpful folks at Lost Star. Next time I'm in the neighborhood I definitely plan to stop by!

Charlie is super friendly and helpful. She was able to make good recommendations based on games we already play and we left with Root. I was back the next day to look at what Root expansions were in stock. Again, Charlie was there to help and talk about games. Look, I've been playing D&D since 1980 so I know a thing or two about game stores. Lost Star is a great game store. They have a large selection of modern table top games to go along with a sizable D&D, Pathfinder, Starfinder, and Star Wars RPG collection. This is bolstered by locally made dice boxes and other accessories for gamers. Totally worth a trip across the bridge if you live in Tacoma. If you're in Gig Harbor already, you're all set. Stop in and say hi.
