This place is amazing from the welcoming we got To the service and quality of it is beyond any store I've been to! I will definitely be recommending this place to anyone and everyone I know. Just to see the interaction between the stores reps and my son to be honest and true. No other motive then to spread love and peace through gaming and collecting. Great place! Go check it out. Good to see there is still good people in the world read more

So I play Pokemon and am a Judge for the game and have been playing or judging at different stores throughout both sides of the valley and from a players perspective I cannot recommend this place. Not only do all the staff look miserable and aren't helpful "do I look like the Pokemon guy?" But judge who runs all of their tournaments for Pokemon specifically is genuinely awful. Every time I've played here I've seen him have a problem with someone and not fulfill his roles of upholding the rules and sainting the spirit of the game. Also he just genuinely doesn't know half of the rulings and is googling them as he goes. As a player for Pokemon specifically do not play here. 1/5 As a customer I have less problems and their selections are ok but their prices are genuinely awful. Everything is at market or slightly above so it's hard to justify buying cards when other stores within a 10 min drive offer below market prices or you can use TCGplayer.com to get the same prices here or cheaper and delivered to your house. Also their sleeve prices are pretty bad. Most if not all distributors have the recommended MSRP as 12 and where other stores in the valley will sell at 12.50 or 13 they are selling them for 17. All in all the staff look rough and aren't super friendly and the prices are not competitive read more

Can never find anything Pokémon, but when you find it and it's on their shelf, they don't sell it to you. Kind of a shitty fucking thing if you ask me! And it's not like it was the last one there was plenty on the shelf. I'm tired of these card shop saving their cards for their players when you can't even get into Pokémon because the fucking players get to come first before the person that comes in to actually buy the motherfuckers if you're not gonna sell product, keep it off your shelf and keep it in the back so no one sees it it's bullshit read more

DONT LISTEN TO THE 5 STAR REVIEWS !!! I hate writing negative reviews but honestly this place deserves it. I have been here twice to try to give them a second chance after my first experience was just as bad. The staff hate anybody that isn't a "regular" or their friend, upscale the prices that what they say, and give attitude worse than a toddler. I take my toddler here with me and my husband and my toddler is more well mannered than the staff. Asking questions, getting prices, and checking out at the register is as if it is the most inconvenient and disrespectful thing ever to them. They act so inconvenienced whenever we ask to grab cards out of the displays. My husband and I thought it was just maybe one staff member that would be rude but truthfully IT IS ALL OF THEM. They give off a "high and mighty" and cocky demeanor as if customers should be glad to spend their time and money here. I recommend to take your money elsewhere. Complete shade to this shop but I highly recommend going to Gamers Guild instead for better service, better treatment, better in house gaming, and just overall better everything. read more

What a lousy store. Im new to the area and want to join the lorcana stitch tournament. I asked the clerk if there is any event. The clerk said we are not sharing any info with anyone except regulars at the store and people who play here. How do yoh expand the player base and store with that type of attitude. Dont waste your time read more

This place is great if you want to give money to employees who have no respect for you and couldn't care less about how they treat you!! I've been going around az to different card shops for a long time, I've been to most and this is by far the WORST one I've ever been to. The workers seem like they want to die and hate your entire existence. There was absolutely zero good customer service through the 3 employees I talked to about pokemon cards. How is it that not ONE of the employees at this place seem to want to be there? They were all either rude or completely disinterested in anything I had to say or ask for. Absolutely horrible and I will never return; I'll also advise other fellow card shop explorers to never come here. Give your money and business to other shops that actually deserve it and ones that will appreciate you in their shop! read more

Would leave zero if could. My first time here and the entitled heavy sett bald guy with the beard is giving mega attitude and unnecessary animosity when im trying to be nice and ask questions about product availability. Then he proceeds to walk away leaving me at the counter for 10+ minutes to have a different employee ring me up. DO not GO HERE SPEND YOUR MONEY AT MORE DESERVING CARD SHOPS read more

The gaming community here is very active & involved with their gaming needs & interaction. I do appreciate the owner & staff being great natured, when faced with any situation that arises. read more

I pass by this place all the time driving down Central and I finally stopped in this past weekend to help my partner find some Magic the Gathering cards. The staff were all very friendly and helpful in finding the exact cards he was looking for. They also had a great selection of games and an area of already opened board games for you to preview before you buy, such an awesome concept! Definitely a great place to come for your gaming needs! read more

Honestly this place is a diamond in the rough. I truly wish I could give more stars; Things to Note. Unbelievable collection and selection that is perfectly catered to the player base. Rarely is there a fail to find and often from cool rare and obscure sets. PGL has really spent a lot of time cultivating this for the store and community and it shows. The player base here is incredible; In a community known for a lot of toxic behavior, and general saltiness this does not come by accident or chance. The friendly tournaments, events, and attention to the needs of patrons is what makes this place truly unique. Other stores and companies should take note, this is how you create a positive and inclusive gaming environment where every single day feels special and where you can connect with people who love this hobby the way you do. Staff is unbelievable. I can go on and on about how many positive interactions I have continued to have but no words can describe how kind, friendly, excited, and helpful they are constantly. Overall this place stands light years ahead of any competition; there just aren't very many stores in the country that holds a candle to what Josh and his amazing staff have created here. Lightning in a bottle. Come in for a draft, a pre-release an event, or just to catch a friendly and the energy is palpable. read more

Went in for FNM and will return. The store is clean and well organized and the staff is great, feels like you're among friends. Events are handled perfectly and goes off without a hitch read more

This place has a huge selection of singles and people are always around to help. The commander crew has been awesome while I've been back in town visiting. read more

I love going to PGL. I have been there several times both on Friday Night Magic, and on other days for casual commander games. I always find Josh and the staff both friendly and welcoming. They have a wide assortment of sealed card as well as individual cards. I also love their nice large play area. Another major perk for me are the food and drink options. As someone with severe diabetes, having the ability to have more control over my blood sugar is important. They also have clean restrooms open to the people playing games there. Overall, I am very happy with Phoenix Gaming Lounge, and use it as my home gaming store for all cards and events. read more

We love this place!!! Everyone is friendly and helpful. Great selection of cards and awesome deals. Tournaments are always epic.

Absolutely love this store! Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. They made sure to keep up online posting on Facebook and a discord server during quarantine for awesome deals in general and FNM for MTG. There's a pretty awesome selection of MTG singles, sealed products, accessories (card boxes, storage, playmats, dice, etc.), as well as some Pokemon stuff, other board games, and DND stuff, too. They definitely go above and beyond to create a sense of community and to put customers first. It's our go-to place for MTG. read more

I do not know the person behind the counter which tried to charge me NM price on Damage MTG Cards. I had to call him out one his judging skills. Who ever owns that store needs to hire someone Who is skilled and qualified to judge card quality. This place get an "F" read more

I stopped by one day looking to check out their card selection, and every time I've returned, they've been great! They have a good selection of mtg items and other table top games. I bought my first dice set and playing mat there. The owner and employees have been super friendly and honest. I've never felt pressured to buy anything. Being new to mtg, I always have questions and they really take the time to explain things. Very welcoming. read more

The Phoenix Gaming Lounge is an amazing store. The staff and owner are so nice and friendly. I only come in every once in a while but they remember me. To be honest without a store like them I likely wouldn't still be playing Magic the Gathering but the owner always sets a fair price for his products. I have never left feeling like I didn't get a great deal. I haven't had any negative interactions and find the space welcoming and inclusive! Please if you live anywhere near this store be sure to stop and see what they're about. I love PGL! read more

Friendly environment. Great staff. And welcoming to young children. I brought my son to buy a pack of Pokémon, yes one pack, and we got an amazing service. The staff gave stickers to my son. Will be coming back. read more

I've bought some MTG cards here for myself and the kiddos. Friendly staff and a pretty solid collection. Owner is there often and knows his inventory well. Staff and owner can suggest cards and help the kids out with deck building. Great little store! read more

Nice people play there. There is a large variety of games to play but it's mainly a card house for magic and other games.

I called this location to ask for the Mystery Booster boxes and they said they would be in Friday around 2. We were told we were not allowed to reserve said boxes as well, so we planned on coming early to get them as soon as the store got the shipment. I come at 1:30 on Friday and see a male walk in and the walk out with this exact box. We walk in and ask the male working if we could purchase said box and he said they did not have them in yet, but they should get this around 2. We went back out to our car and sat there until 2:30. Around 2 the same male worker walked out of the store and around the corner, then walked back into the store, seeing us outside. When we walked in at 2:30, the worker said "I just checked the messages and it looks like we got them in yesterday and sold out". We asked when he would be getting more in and he said they shouldn't for another two weeks the soonest. On the Facebook page, it said yesterday (Thursday) that they would be getting more in soon. He apologized and we left. Wasted about an hour of our time, not including driving, and somewhere along the line that man lied to us, not sure if it was about the supply he has or when they sold out, but this is poor management and unfair service. Will not be coming back and I don't recommend trusting the store for their word. read more
