One of the card shops in the Chicago land for Cardfight!! Vanguard…read more If you're looking for a card shop that has other card games besides Vanguard, keep searching, CU (Cardfighters Underground) only carries Vanguard. The shop is a small section integrated into a record store that has tables for playing, a display case with cards, supplies and booster packs available for sale. The variety of product the shop has available for sale is limited due to the shop being so small. However, there are many Japanese products that are not often sold in card shops including Bushiroad import sleeves and anime-themed deckboxes. The shop is smaller than most which limits the size of tournaments CU can host. There are available areas for play all over the store but the shop likely would not be able to hold anything too big. Tournaments and events that the shop hosts are pretty good events overall; the shop owner and the judge/main vendor are both open minded individuals who will take the time to listen to the questions, comments and concerns customers have. The overall prices of the shop's products are very competitive as well. They are willing to make deals with customers on top of having overall lower prices in general. They are also very flexible. A friend of mine once bought four copies of a card (we'll call it Card A). He later pulled a copy of Card A in one of his booster packs even though he was looking for Card B, a card of equal value. The shop had a copy of Card B; the owner went up to my friend and offered an exchange as soon as he saw it. It was really nice of him to make the offer. The owner also plays the game himself; you can challenge him to a match anytime! There is a healthy variety of snacks and drinks that the shop has available for sale, most not costing more than a dollar. Great for a card shop setting, where tournaments can last longer than a few hours and cut into meal times. Available prices for buying product in bulk, such as boxes or cases, are also quite competitive as compared to other vendors online and shops in the Chicagoland area. My friends and I have bought many boxes from CU and are planning to buy more in the future. TL;DR - Overall, whether you're new or old to the game, CU is great for Vanguard and I'd recommend it. Unfortuantely, their shop is a little smaller than I'd prefer, but it's a great shop nonetheless, with a nice variety of products as well as a shop owner who is very open minded to helping you get what you need at the price you can afford.

This is a hobby shop / gaming store in LaGrange Illinois. My buddy shops here on occasion and so we…read morestopped in as I love these types of products as well. For people like us there are just so many things to see. They have games of all different types including some for younger people. My friend found Bob's burgers Monopoly and was considering buying it when they found some dungeons & dragons products that they wanted more. It was a tough decision but Bob's will be the next visit there. I was impressed with the varied collection of games and products that they had. In the end I only made a small purchase, a pack of Magic the Gathering Universes Beyond / The Lord of the Rings Tales of Middle Earth booster cards. I don't play the game but I do enjoy the artwork. This is totally the store that would be a danger for me if I lived up here. I would probably be in shopping once a week. A very worthwhile visit.
