I have been to games of Berkeley multiple times, although not often enough since it’s a bit of a drive. If you’re looking for games, they have a huge selection of board games. So much so that I’ve on multiple occasions asked for...Read More

Worst experience I've ever had. Signed up for one of their tournaments only to be removed from it after driving 2 hours and the only thing they can say is "too bad". The tournament organizer decided to disenroll all of the applicants and revise the...Read More

Great people and awesome location, my only issue is pricing of your products specifically the Collectible card games like Yugioh and Digimon more so being over priced. I've bought the same box of Royal knights from another store and GoB is definitely way more might...Read More

Extraordinary variety of products with appeal to all ages.Very friendly, low-key, knowledgeable and helpful staff who are themselves enthusiastic gamers.Fantastic D&D game rooms.The only criticism is a comparatively limited selection of miniatures.100% worth a visit.

I’ve been to a lot of tabletop game stores and this is probably the best, biggest, and most well stocked one I’ve been to. The biggest plus for me is I’m a huge Pathfinder fan and places don’t usually carry a lot of that stuff....Read More

This place is really nice. Its large and beautiful inside and they have a large selection of all types of games, including TCG. Berkeley doesn't have many stores with Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon and Magic the Gathering so Games of Berkeley is easily the best in town...Read More

Super clean store with a very large variety of board/tabletop game supplies. I saw more obscure games that are typically only findable at conventions there. If you like hoard games this shop is definitely a must visit. Their magic: the gathering support is minimal so...Read More
