The staff here is always friendly and helpful every time I pop in. I never feel out of place or looked down on for asking a question, which has happened at a few game shops I've been too. The only thing I'd change is their incredibly slow credit card machine/check out process. That's certainly not a...

Love this place. Yes, it's a hole-in-the wall. Yes, it's cramped. Yes, you have to walk across the street to use the restroom. So what. It's filled with knowledgeable staff who are happy to help out, and that's huge. They can help recommend games and love to talk about everything in the store, which...

A great local game store. Has a lot in stock (so you don't hear the typical "but we can order that for you"). Super friendly staff and there's always a discount on something you need. My one gripe is that their owner refuses to invest in technology for a point of sale system. The staff has to physic...

Awesome game store for your game and hobby needs. Enormous selection of board games for those looking for something for game night as well as every CCG under the sun.

Garrett, the owner, and the rest of the team are very affable and will help you find whatever you need. Not only that but they are...

Gator Games is my favorite gaming and hobby store in California, hands down. I went there once in 2014, was blown away, and made the pilgrimage again four years later.

This store has a good selection of board games, all the modern collectible card games, Warhammer, and an incredible selection of ...

When I first walked in, I saw rows upon rows of miniatures, perfect for any needs. More than half of my miniature collection has been bought there. They have miniatures at excellent prices, and the staff are very helpful, and can help you with anything. They have a wide range of items, from board ga...

I used to go to Gator Games a lot. I went today, and was deeply dissapointed. the Staff was not very nice, and I found that they no longer carry as many cards as they used to, they also over charge for games, and do not match prices. I found other game stores that charge half what they do, but Gator...

Finally got to Gator Games & glad I did. I went for a demo of a new card game coming out being given by its creator - it's nice when game stores have events like that.

They seem a tad cramped in their space but, on the other hand, it had a pleasant wall-to-wall games feel to it. I thought their...

Go here. Go here, then go here again. Every MTG thing I could has for was here. Stud I didn't even know you could get anymore. Guild theme boxes, sleeves, every dragon shield they have ever made. Place is honestly a home run. Even have a little bit of space to play. Guy behind the counter was clearl...

Gator Games has been taking care of my hobby needs since 1999. The store is a study in minimalism, with only the barest racks. They will special order anything you can conceive of, so their walls are deceptive.

I have always found their eagerness to be delightful, I recommend them to everyone. ...

I've been a regular at this game store for nearly two decades and sadly in recent years my opinion of it is a bit of a mixed bag. One big issue is that the store hasn't advanced since it opened nearly three decades ago. Gator's primary adaptation for the modern changes in the gaming industry is ad...

I have been actively involved with Gator Games for years. It an excellent non-electronic game store on the San Francisco Peninsula. The staff is expert in all aspects of tabletop games, whether board, card, or role-playing related. Miniatures and painting supplies are ample, as is a fine selection o...

This place is very small and cramped and has a limit on events. I've always known this store for awhile and as a buyer and player now I've come to really dislike it. I only come and play when I have no other options otherwise I have deal with an always understaffed store. They have weird rules that ...

The best board game store ever. I've been to a lot of board game stores and experienced a lack of hospitality. But at Gator Games & Hobby, the staff are very friendly and very helpful in what you are looking for. Now I know it's a small cramped space, but they're collection is vast and usually alway...

I do not usually go here, but I was in the area on the weekend of the MTG Origins prerelease, so I played here. I had a FANTASTIC time: the staff both ran the competition well and were pleasant to interact with. They laid out and adhered to the rules of the tournament as one would expect, but also c...

Great little local game store with a decent inventory of games and miniatures. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. If they don't have it in stock, they will be happy to order it for you. Gator Games also hosts a regular monthly schedule of organized play.
