Online storefront is incredibly shady. Seller will refund items if significant price increases have recently affected the given product.

Awful storefront. Please do not use their online store. Shady business practice and false inventory for their online store.

Like this place! The guys there are very busy, but will help you out with any questions you may have. It's an awesome store that hosts events, as well as has a plethora of card and board game accessories! I'm a newer Magic player and I love going in there to pick their brains. Prices are relatively cheap and so are the singles. They have a good online system where you can either order in store or order online. 10/10 Don't skip this place! read more

Came in to buy some product, super overpriced; ask if there's was any wiggle room if I was to buy multiples of things and they completely dusted me off; gave me really bad attitude. This is probably one of the worst places with customer service I ever seen. Acted like I disrespected the whole place for saying this product can be found cheaper at another place, told me to go there and buy it and walked away lol. Fat guy who works there needs to understand how customer service work, it's one thing to say they aren't able to drop the price, but don't speak to me as if I wasnt interested in buying products. If this was 2 years ago, I would have crashed out. Walked away from me before I even had a chance to say it's all good, I'll just grab something else read more

Do not buy loose packs of Pokémon from this place. They weigh their packs. They also charge scalper prices on everything else.

The staff is awesome and love the variety of trading cards! My family loves coming here

The staff are great and easy to talk to. They also have lots of product and if they don't have what you are looking for they told me they can probably get it. read more

Lots of products, helpful staff as well. Not their fault but some of their customers were rude and all over the place bumping into my wife and I to shop. read more

Came in to pick up few today and they did an amazing job on helping and getting my order picked. Thanks guys.

This place claims that they buy magic and Pokémon cards which is not the case they buy only rare carts the girl that's in there doesn't even use the scanner she just looked at the card and sees it it's an uncommon card and it's not gold or reddish colored and just kicked him out she has he know that she threw out a $27 card Seems like they just don't want to work all they're trying to do is cherry pick they're not any for helping the customer or doing what they say they're going to do by buying cards they're just cherry picking for the cars that people don't know about I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody I drive 30 minutes before I came here again you applied for this job it wasn't a draft act like you want to be there!!! read more

Play or Draw - uncommon card it's almost $10 not worth her time if you don't know the prices use the scanner it's your job - Tabletop Games Near Me - Avondale, Arizona

I am building my first deck and needed lands and when I inquired about whether or not they sold bulk lands one of the associates rudely answered with who buys bulk lands? Very off putting. Won't be back. read more

Selection was really good, and had lots of tables for games. Staff knew where to find everything and had good service.

Play or draw is an amazing gaming one stop shop experience. They have everything your gaming heart desires! The staff was highly helpful and extremely knowledgeable. I hadn't played Magic the Gathering in years and the lady that helped me was kind enough talk shop and allow me to be informed on what cards would help Me in my deck building process! I look forward to shopping their again! read more

I have been here countless times with a bundle of friends. Every time, we get recognized by the staff there. And without fail, we are greeted with friendly smiles and welcoming words. I've spent an ungodly amount of money and have never left upset. This place is phenomenal, the only "negative" thing is since I've only ever seen three workers, and the place gets swamped often. It may take sometime to check out or order some cards. But still none the less. A great place for magic and other card games! read more

Didn't even go into the store as I was put off by the rude person answering the phone. I called to ask if their store carried any Warhammer products and was rudely told by the girl that answered "No we do not" then hung up on. I get that this place is Magic-centric, but there isn't any need to sound annoyed about someone asking if something is carried in stock. Luckily, there are other options in the area and found that both the Warhammer store and Tabletop Wargamers were very well stocked and very friendly. Shame. read more

I have always had a great opinion about this place. When I was hard up for cash they would buy my collection slowly but by bit For the most part I felt it was fair. But the last time I tried to sell to them they literally tried to steal some rare first edition Yu-Gi-Oh cards from me after already ripping me off on pokemon cardsPokemon cards. They originally stated yeah we didn't take any of the Yu-Gi-Oh but when I got back to my car I realized they not only took some Yu-Gi-Oh cards but they took first edition ones worth quite a bit. And tried to play stupid when I confronted them. Claiming they didn't realize they were not first edition. You literally have to change tcg from first edition to unlimited to get the unlimited price. And for a card shop that has been there so long to not know how use the program they always use Is either sad or complete bs. Which they never have had a problem before telling the difference. And they originally said they took no Yu-Gi-Oh. Well they did quite a few and then told us they wanted 5 dollars back. After getting home I did my math for the pokemon I turned in alone I should of gotten just shy of 50 dollars at the price they state they give. I got 15 and was still missing some Yu-Gi-Oh .... Oh well I really really liked that place and the people that ran it untill all this. I mean they never once actually gave the percentage they claim to but that didn't bother me cause they would.come close and I looked at it like I really like the place and people I do not.mind taking a.loss for their gain as I want them to be around for as long as possible but if they think you don't know what you got price wise be aware they will try to con you rip you off and even steal from you. read more

I've had the pleasure of growing up with this store; when it first opened I was around 16 and I'm happy to say I had the pleasure of continuing to go to the store decently into my adult years. The customer service is flawless, the store has been consistently clean and tidy over the years, and the atmosphere was excellent for gaming and socializing. Cool people + comfy seats + good product availability + large gaming area, what else is there to ask for? read more

This store is wonderful and is always fully stocked. I appreciate how knowledgeable and personable the owners are with product they and customers they talk to. I've never come here and not been able to get something I'm looking for. I highly recommend giving them your business because they have more than fair pricing and you'll definitely get the help you need. I usually pick up a booster box at a time and they always have it readily available. read more

Play or Draw (PoD) is probably the best hobby shop I have ever been to. Excellent inventory, terrifically clean and well organized space, lots of well attended events. To be completely honest, if I wasn't in grad school I would say it is easily always worth the drive. The owners, Joe and Andrew, are very helpful and have extensive knowledge about their main product, magic. In fact, Joe used to play on the professional tour. They're also there every day. They're pretty much the only two people working there which makes you feel like you're really getting to know the people running the business. This shop is terrific for: Standard Modern EDH PPTQs SCG IQs Any sort of other relatively large tournaments hosted in AZ They also fire legacy and draft every so often. Pretty much every player in Arizona knows about this place so if you're new to the area or passing through, definitely check it out. If you've been in AZ for a while and have been curious about the shop but never felt like venturing out, I'll just say this; It's worth it. read more

Play or draw is an amazing game store with a variety of card games and accessories any TCG player could be looking for. Their staff is incredible and it is always a joy when I go to the shop to buy cards or to play in any of their well organized events! read more

Love this place. Don't come in too often since I live a few towns over but every time I do, the people are super super friendly and kind. The staff is very knowledgeable and eager to help in any way they can and very good conversationalists. Friendly place with lots of room to play cards and games. Highly highly recommend. read more

I love this place for so many reasons. Firstly, the store itself. It is so roomy, well lit, and clean. There are plenty of tables and comfortable chairs - ones with cushion, instead of the metal folding chairs so often used in game stores. The ceilings are high and everything is spread out so well that it doesn't feel cramped. They have probably the biggest collection of Magic cards that I have seen in a local store. Great variety, and very good prices. The players are nice as well, always willing to help out those who are less experienced. It's a very friendly atmosphere. The owners are awesome. We brought in a board game and one of the guys sat down to learn it, then he ordered a copy to stock in the store. When we needed a shade of paint that they didn't have, the owners special ordered it for us. I'm so glad to finally have a gaming store on this side of town. read more

Play or Draw (PoD) is the best shop in AZ, by far. They have everything in stock 99% of the time. The owners, Joe and Andrew, are both nice guys and accomplished Magic players. They're more than happy to give deck building and playing advice, when they have time. In fact, you can frequently find them drafting with anyone who wants to learn how to play. Furthermore, PoD has one of best player communities I've ever seen. Everyone is friendly and welcoming to both veteran and new players alike. However, there is a high skill cap at this shop. Many of the players at PoD are competitive and have multiple tournaments under their belt. Nevertheless, these same players are very friendly and willing to give advice to anyone who asks. If you're looking to improve as a magic player, you couldn't ask for a better community. Ultimately, this shop has the whole package. I've been to many of the shops in AZ, and while they're all good, Play or Draw is noticeably the superior shop. If you're looking for a Magic or gaming shop in Arizona, the stocked inventory, knowledgeable and friendly owners, and excellent community at Play or Draw can't be beat. read more

The Valley has a ton of gaming stores that specialize in Magic, but I really think this one is the best of the best. It's a shame I'm not closer to them, or else this would probably be the store where I play most often. Gigantic play area loaded with very comfy chairs and full-length playmat covered tables (The fact that their playmats are still in like-new shape is a testament to how well they take care of their store appearance wise.) I didn't count, but it seems like they could easily and comfortably seat at least 50 people and probably closer to 100. As far as stock, the owner makes it clear online that they stock almost every Magic card available and he's not kidding. I've never seen quite a selection of staple cards in every format and the prices on the few cards I asked about were very fair. Definitely the type of place you want to be stocking up on store credit to grab just about anything you need. They've got a pretty solid collection of obscure games and gaming accessories, too. If you're into the tabletop or carboard lifestyle, this is a place you want to be familiar with. read more

Went in to look at board games and needed some help with a couple different games. One employee was working the register and chitchatting with a guest and one employee was a gal who seemed bored to be there and was standing behind the counter not making eye contact so I couldn't talk to her and one gentleman employee was talking to a guest about her daughter dancing at Disneyland. I waited for 20 minutes and no one offered to help so I just left. I am all for supporting local and would love to have bought from there. But now I'm going to go on Amazon. This is why stores like this are dying and Amazon is alive and well. What a bummer. read more

Great store and great atmosphere. I came in about noon to just play one game with a friend. There was plenty of open seating and tables to play on. I didn't check much of the inventory but I did purchase an X-wing miniature for my game while I was there. The selection for X-wing miniatures was decent and was fairly priced for small expansion packages. It was Saturday and there was about four other groups there playing cards. If anyone is up for x-wing I would recommend playing here as well. Message me on yelp if you want to play a laid-back game on a weekend. read more

I've been coming here for over a year now and everyone here is friendly and helpful, I've walked in with a list of cards double sided they warned me it'll be a while which was completely understandable. I went back when they said it be done, they had it all put together and rang up for me when i got there. This wasn't the only time i gone there but every time I've had a good experience. read more

I found this shop on yelp. I'm so glad I did. They have had every card I have ever been looking for. On top of when I received what I thought was a fake revised dual land from an online trader they where more than happy to look at it and tell me yes it was fake. They have by far the largest play area I have ever seen for a magic shop. Always happy to answer my questions. read more

I've been to game stores in probably 20 states over the past 20 years. Play or Draw is the best shop I've ever been to. They support a great family atmosphere (my wife and 2 children also play there) and have the best stock of Magic cards in AZ with great prices. read more

Best MTG store in the Valley. If you are looking for a card they probably have it. Huge gaming area that can hold over 100 players for large tournaments like PTQ'S and state championships. Highly competitive environment but the players are friendly. read more

Best shop in town! Great product selection and great service. Consistently exceeds expectations and treats they're customers well.highly recommend to anyone looking to play tcg or board games! read more

Great to have this in Avondale. I really wish they had more table top RPG and board games/miniature games :)

The best gaming store I've encountered. Plenty of space and lots of product. Very fair prices for MTG stuff and lots of playing activities and options. The guys are cool and support my school MTG club nicely. read more

As always great service and unparalleled selection! I often bring in long lists, and at times on busier nights (sorry guys!) but Joe, Andrew and Melissa never bat an eye. This kind of exceptional customer service is what brings me back again and again with no thought to the drive! read more

This is the nicest store I've ever seen in terms of displays, product and gaming area. The owners are friendly, experienced players who are always willing to help. The prices for cards and playing are extremely competitive. We are really lucky that such a great LGS moved into our area. Jim G read more

Second time I've been into this shop and I was not impressed. Customer service was bad. The first time we came in they seemed irritated that we wanted to know the prices of some of the products. They told us they used eBay low prices in a way that was very off putting, I'm asking because we wanted to buy the $200 set, but we ended up finding it cheaper ON EBAY. This led me to believe they aren't using accurate pricing. The girl had no idea what anything was. When we came back the second time it took 23 minutes before anyone asked us if they could help us. It was not that they were busy, the guy who finally helped us out was sitting at a table playing a table top game with some people. They were using profanity and it was all very unprofessional. While we were there 2 other groups came in and were also ignored. I'll take my business elsewhere from now on. Maybe somewhere that knows how to treat paying customers. read more

Great guys that work there. Love magic the gathering but not into tournaments, just in it to make friends and have casual fun. Everywhere I go they don't really care about the "casual" player, but when I come here they answer any kind of question I may have and try their very best to help me make a fun deck regardless of how competitive it is. I only go here no matter what and will continue to do so. read more

I have been playing Magic for many years and at many different game stores. Play or Draw is hands down the best place to play. This store has the largest selection of cards in the valley and offers the most fair prices for both cash and trades. Their events are some of the most organized I have ever played in. If you are a long time player or new to the game I highly recommend Play or Draw. read more

Might be good for magic and card games but called about a board game and they're selling it for double MSRP. Not for me.
