They do have One Piece, Magic and Pokemon cards as well as TCGs as well. Their calendar is also stacked with all sorts of different TCG events. The staff here are knowledgeable and professional.

The prices here are very fair and they also buy cards for a fair deal too. The set up here is nice and they have plenty of room to browse and walk around, they have several long tables with chairs to accommodate those who want to play or host events. Overall a great TCG store in Tacoma and definitely one to check out if you're into Magic, Pokemon, One Piece or others!

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!

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. Helped me choose the first D&D book I need to begin my adventures. Super excited and absolutely love this place. Highly recommend. 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.

They host both the card game and the switch/video game challenges. I did have a card to trade and the breakdown of the process was the most thorough I've seen yet and I wanted store credit as you get 80% vs 70% if you got cash only. Anywho, the wait to be called did take longer than I'd like but given it was busy and my decision on what to use for store credit took awhile, I wouldn't deduct anything. Avery (sp?) was the main person who helped me and she was very patient. I also bought some playable cards (they have a stash of organized cards in bins near their staff-only area which other employees helped me out with. All-in-all, very spacious and well organized! They have one exclusively for double rares/ex cards, ultra rares/full arts, ace specs, etc. They even have a box for people to drop off ETB boxes in for people to claim for free if they want to take home. I also noticed some instant ramen station which they utilized for food in the store. They have some nice wall art too that was handprints as well. Would revisit if I'm ever back in Seattle, WA!

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.

Lunar Landing Games has been such a nice addition to the Puyallup TCG community as they have a great reward system, consistent and fun events, great wares from local artists or crafters to fun board games, good stock of all sorts of TCGs, and friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have a separate room with several tables to play board games or TCGs and a huge table in the main store room for demos (it seems like). The store is organized in a way that there is plenty of walking room between patrons and the sections have specific labels to let you know what you'll find in that space. I appreciate that they are an inclusive space too! The pricing here is on point as we always try to buy something whenever we stop by as they have fair pricing.

Pokémon and MTG. I will be coming back. Soon. So many awesome board games and puzzles and knick knacks. And a few paddywacks lol. Great place. I might get a few random gifts for others and silly magnets for my own. They have an "INCONCEIVABLE" magnet. If you know where that's from.... Love this place already.

Mind you the employees working here asked from the store owner and their manager and they all looked, like they were hired with no resume, work store was like they just woke up out of bed, and probably getting paid minimum wage.
