The store was very well organized and clean. They have a massive selection of games, minis, and role-playing books. The staff was very helpful and knowledge. They were able to answer all my questions about particular games and offered great recommendations. They also knew their inventory very well and know whats coming out and when they will get it. Great game store and would recommend to others looking for a good local shop.

Miniatures! On site gaming. Card and board games. For such a small store they offer a lot for card, 40K mini etc. Dont know if RPG goes on but very knowledgeable owner and enthusiastic staff. Two thumbs up from life long gamer. Cheers guys!

Cool place. Neat old school vibe. They really managed fit a lot of games, minis, And cards in a small store. Will be coming back soon.

Go here. Go here, then go here again. Every MTG thing I could has for was here. Stud I didnt 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 clearly passionate about the stuff he sold. 5/5 no Question.

Great spot for Magic the Gathering and table top gamers!

Great store, good friendly workers. Always nice and informative. Would definitely suggest going here for any of your hobby needs!

I found a great games selection and a very friendly and helpful store clerk.

Good spot for pokemon cards was there 30 min ago got 2 shining fates tins and got SHINY CHARIZARD VMAX and more great cards

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 new and classic role-playing games.And the staff are the best! I had a lengthy conversation about My Little Pony my first visit. Gator Games is a memorable experience!

Awesome spot! Super knowledgeable and helpful staff.

Friendly staff and fantastic stuff. Lots of new and popular games in stock, but I really enjoy digging through the discount section for oddities.

Won’t sell me single pokemon cards . In order to be able to get 1 rare holo reverse or promo card of my choice for whatever kind of card I gta spend mandatory $15 at min to get a free card. They are very low on stock customer service is not the best . I don’t mean to talk bad about any business but disappointed.

Great local gaming shop. Love these peeps.

Great placeThey have almost everything and what they dont have they can order for you

Great little game store.

Great shop, has great products and friendly customer service

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 avid hobbyists and will happily chop it up with you about... well anything! 😊My only gripe is that its a little small for events and releases but it gets the job done.Also no public restroom, youll need to use Molly Stones.But those two things aside its a fantastic LGS with a friendly staff. Please support them when you can, local game stores are a dying breed and were very fortunate to have one in our community, especially one where the people are passionate and friendly.

Great place for games, Pokémon and more.

This place is awesome. they have a big selection of games and they host mtg tournaments every week. the one problem covid-19. the place is definitely worth a visit.

Place is terrible 0 help when asked a general Pokémon card question just shoed me away as if my business wasn’t ish to them

Excellent, state-of-the-hobby selection with very friendly and knowledgeable staff! Small location, but they make a great use of the space.

Great place! employees are super nice and helpful, they have great stock of almost anything you could ever want for tabletop and/or trading card gaming and the prices are great too! highly recommend if you are into or looking to get into tabletop gaming!

Great selection of games!

The staff member present was very helpful and knowedglable about the games me and my friend were checking out. Overall the shop had a great atmosphere and everything my friend wanted to buy he found easily. Would come here again. 😀

Great little local game store with a decent inventory of games and miniatures. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. If they dont have it in stock, they will be happy to order it for you. Gator Games also hosts a regular monthly schedule of organized play.

This place is packed floor-to-ceiling with board games, miniatures, CCGs, RPG books and accessories. It has four aisles, but it is still possible to get lost in exploration.Staff are friendly, helpful and nerdy.

I was thinking that there was going to be trains but nothing. But they have these type of battle games and pieces of it. This is a good store not really expensive.

Very knowledgeable about the games that they sell; and they have a great selection and friendly, helpful staff.

Out of business

The best board game store ever. Ive 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 its a small cramped space, but theyre collection is vast and usually always stocked with new items. Being from San Francisco, I try my best to make it here as often as possible. I hope that other board game stores take notice and see the value in great customer service, especially in the growing popularity of the gaming culture. Highly recommended this place!

The most impressive selection of miniatures I have found! I try and stop every time I am in the area (usually on trips to or from the airport.)

Gator games has been a staple in my Warhammer addiction. I am there once a week loading up on paints, brushes and minis.The owner always has sales going on and is super helpful.

Ive 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 hasnt advanced since it opened nearly three decades ago. Gators primary adaptation for the modern changes in the gaming industry is adjusting their stock to aim for a generally more casual and younger audience of gamers.The staff is always great though, friendly and knowledgeable. One or more of the employees will always have personal play experience with any game you could possibly have a question about. That knowledge alone has definitely been known to have my group buy a few games we never would have looked at otherwise.

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 of obscure older games along with the newest releases.Molly Stones grocery store is just across the street, and functions as the rest room and biological supplies repository for all nearby businesses should a crisis arise while perusing the excellent inventory of this quality game establishment.Gator Games also has a strong web presence, with their own site and an eBay store where out-of-print games can often be located. They are also happy to order anything not currently in their inventory, and will give you a call when the desired items arrive.Go here. Buy things. Enjoy!

A great selection of of games and gaming hardware. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I have to travel 30 minutes by vehicle to get there and its well worth the visit.

Love this place. Yes, its a hole-in-the wall. Yes, its cramped. Yes, you have to walk across the street to use the restroom. So what. Its filled with knowledgeable staff who are happy to help out, and thats huge. They can help recommend games and love to talk about everything in the store, which is useful when doing research or looking for gifts. They will preorder anything you need and give you a discount for doing so - as well as enabling you to get merchandise before the official street date. Sure I can order nearly anything off Amazon or from another online merchant - but I prefer to support my local brick & mortar game store here so that it doesnt go away. My only knock against the place is a lack of space for them to run games - that really is a shame. Id love to see this place being more of a go-to for casual and League gaming as well as a go-to for in-person research and purchases.

Place is really neat but also very small. Their mini selection is very big though!

Great place, super friendly staff. Their credit card machine is a bit slow but this place is my go-to game shop. They have everything you need for game night goodness

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 - its 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 inventory selection seemed good. Unless theres a room I missed, theres not much space for gaming, but theres plenty of parking (I live in San Francisco so worth mentioning).The staff was very friendly. One of the staff members participated in the demo, which was great. Another staff member was attentive when I spent a few minutes browsing.

Great shop. Skip amazon and go be with the culture of role playing and tabletop games. You will not regret the visit. Get some minis and a new map.

What a great shop! Excellent selection of games and super helpful and knowledgeable staff. :)

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 created a very pleasant atmosphere, not at all stressful or asphyxiating. The other Magic players were also awesome, and I really enjoyed the event.

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 games to Warhammer 40k, and everything in between. All in all, I love the place and shop there whenever I need something for a new campaign.

Friendly local game store, been around for decades, live that its still going.

A great local game store. Has a lot in stock (so you dont hear the typical but we can order that for you). Super friendly staff and theres 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 physically WRITE the description, price, and ID of EVERY item youre buying. This is ludacris. It takes so much time for both employee and more importantly the customer. Even a $100 computer from 2005 would make a world of a difference. Its 2016... Lets do this.

This is the Local Game Store I default to. Ive shopped, played, and worked here, for about 17 years. Its a convenient location with lots of parking and knowledgeable staff.

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 Ive been too. The only thing Id change is their incredibly slow credit card machine/check out process. Thats certainly not a deal breaker though!

I think this store is the best ever. If you need any board games, cards or books this place will have and if not theyll get it for you. Plus they know the all there games so if you need a question then they will know.

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. The only thing they have ever needed was a place to host roleplaying and card games.

Knowledgeable staff, decent selection. More board game and CCG focused than anything but theyre do not have a huge space. Great option to buy games if on peninsula.

Great selection. Staff knows the product. Only downside is there are often events which make getting around and looking at boardgames difficult.

One of the best selections of hobby games. 20% off on most products today. Very friendly and informative staff. There were busy today during lunch time.

The workers here are very friendly. They offer to help, offer to answer questions, ask if you have any questions. Bring them some Crispy M&Ms.

Staff is super helpful and kind. Theyre all super into games and give great advice along with offering a wide variety of games to enjoy.

Great selection of games and great staff.

Best trading card and board games store on the peninsula hands down

Came in to buy a couple hundred dollars in individual magic cards. They said I couldnt use the bathroom. Ill get them online much cheaper.

Kind employees and nice environment. Great selection of magic singles too.

Awesome place love it here. Great customer service

This place is very small and cramped and has a limit on events. Ive always known this store for awhile and as a buyer and player now Ive 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 women cant carry around their purses (Im not a genius but you should never take a womens purse!). Everything in the store is overpriced compared to other competitors. Who charges $3 for a pack of 100 penny sleeves?! The point of then being penny sleeves is that they are a penny each, not more!

Very nice employees with a great humored nature.

Helpful and friendly staff, even stayed overtime to help me select a board game to buy.

Filled with interesting games and helpful staff

Staff is friendly and they make great recommendations for games. Really good selection.

Great selection of board games and RPGs.

Service is fine except one guy who couldnt spare me five cents to get a comic. total jerk move

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 Games wouldnt match the prices. Needless to say, I will not be going to Gator Games again. I am sorry, because they use to be a pretty good game store. Not happy with customer service.

Great game store on the penninsula. Awesome staff.

Has lots of games, playing card games, D&D and other RPGs. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Great store! Lots of paints and minis and board games!
