Black Diamond Games - Concord, California

Although it was brief, I enjoyed my time at Black Diamond Games. I was recently at Concord to pick up board games for a game night, and this store is situated in a nice area. This place is very spacious and the upper floor looked really cool! The selection was fairly decent with even some TCG options at the register area. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely be visiting this place again!

Staff has always been very nice and welcoming the second you walk in he door. Shop smells nice and is always clean with a large selection of whatever you are looking for. I called in advance in regards to some models I was looking for, the person that answered the phone was more then helpful. I have been to almost all the game stores in the surrounding area and I have no problem driving the 25 minutes to go to Black Diamond over other stores in my area. Highly recommend this store.

Calling all the shop in a 150 mile radius because we have put together a big mtg tournament. EVERYONE i called was very cool. Except the lady who answered the phone today working there. Whoever you are i hope you feel better soon. ✌️ i wasn't "soliciting" anything I was trying to spread word to local players about an event they might be interested in.

I've been going to Black Diamond games for 12 years now, an incredible place for gamers. Over the dozens of game stores I've shopped at over the years, only a handful have been as fun and well organized as Black Diamond. If you love card games, board games, DnD, or any other rpg, you have to check out this shop.

Extremely pleasant store with a wide variety of offerings for different kinds of games, friendly and helpful staff, and two floors of game tables (although the upper floor seems to be by reservation only). They have tons of card games, puzzles, board games, strategy games, miniatures games, and a few kids toys. They also have an okay selection RPG paraphernalia like polyhedral dice, dice bags, dice towers, wet-erase battlemaps, miniatures, and map books. No specialty stuff like game-specific dice, though.

Their selection of RPGs is pretty thin, primarily focused on D&D 5e and Pathfinder. There are a few smaller RPGs in there, mostly Powered by the Apocalypse stuff, but there isn't a wide selection of games. There's a lot more variety to be found in their "Dents and Dings" section, where they clearance lightly-damaged merchandise. I found a bunch of really good stuff there, like the deluxe copy of Judge's Guild Volume 2: The Works of Jennell Jaquays that had apparently been sitting there on the floor for years, untouched. There were also several copies of the excellent Pendragon 6E Starter Box, still in their plastic and in great condition. If you're looking for something outside the mainstream, I would definitely check there first.

I'll absolutely be coming back as regularly as I can to check out their new stock.

Great gaming store with wonderful staff. We're regulars and know many of the staff by name at this point. They're all quick to help answer questions/provide a game suggestion or otherwise assist.

We always love their 'Ding and Dent' sales, and even when things aren't on sale, it's still my favorite Concord shop for finding gaming gifts for friends. Good assortment of board games, collectible and trading card games, RPGs, rulebooks, etc. Love that they have an events calendar online and the owner Robbie is receptive to groups or GMs hosting events / tournaments at the store. They also allow GMs to post approved events to Warhorn (a nationwide online gaming community designed to help people find fellow gamers at their friendly local game store online).

The store's management and staff obviously care about and are invested in the local gaming community. Highly recommend Black Diamond Games!

Got a couple boxes of lorcana and pokemon. Everyone had a hit. The sushi spot next door is also good. This place has everything you'll need for a game night

This place is really neat. They have pretty much any popular board game, tabletop game, and card game you can think of, painted and unpainted minis, and they’ll order anything they don’t have if you want without ripping you off.

They don’t have too much in terms of merch but that’s probably good as it means the focus is more on the games.

I got evolution and it’s expansion, a Harry Potter charm necklace for my wife, and my friend got magic the gathering booster packs.

Their website also has a calendar for when they have live game nights though the night we went was their off day.

The best thing by far though, is that the place is really clean and doesn’t smell like body odor (unlike similar places I’ve been to elsewhere).
