Elysium Cards and Games - Carmichael, California

My favorite game store ever. Focused on TCG and Miniatures games, but still a healthy dose across the hobby.

Huge amounts of play space, and doesn't feel claustrophobic even when there's 50+ people there for events, and the community and staff are absolutely outstanding

This is our chosen LGS. They are fantastic. Tons of games, super friendly staff, and a true queer supportive environment. This shop deserves every bit of praise under the sun because they have truly made a place where everyone is welcome at the table! Shoutout to Jordan, Andy and Nolan for making our Sunday home away from home such an incredible place!

This place is great… when it’s open. Twice now I have showed up to look around, and they weren’t open. I also check their hours ahead of time, just to make sure it’s open. Still. It seems as though their hours of operations are sporadic at best.

I have been in here before, and it’s a great time! But it’s not a good sign that of my four visits, two of them were met with closed doors.

Just recently discovered this game store and it immediately became my favorite. I've been playing cards/games for more than 30 years and I've never found a store that has such a welcoming and friendly environment. Everyone is super cool, huge variety of games and the staff are just incredible.

A hidden gem. I was not only greeted by some of the nicest people i have ever met at a games shop, but also very knowledgeable. They have a wonderful selection, and a huge table area with terrain on tap. The shops is beautiful and well stocked. I wish i knew of them sooner. Came in for some new mtg and walked out with a new venue for warhammer. The only negative is that i didnt find them sooner.

The staff are some of the kindest people Iv met at a card shop, especially nutty, Jordan, and Tyler, they were always fair with me and I loved going to the shop every weekend and dragging my friends along.

Bad customer service and arrogant artitudes. I drove 2 hours for a warhammer tournament only to miss the the check in meeting by 7 minutes but before the start time of 1030. "Oops sorry you automatically loose and drove here for nothing." Most tournament organizers will pick up the phone and talk to you if you call the game store to let them know you are defenitely on the way. They will say hey no big deal thanks for checking in . Instead i got. the "im in charge and you made a mistake." No goodwill and no good business. Pick another game shop.

The place is very spacious and the staff was very friendly to new faces; really welcoming staff and environment.

When my brother, his friend, and I went to visit this new place, we were greeted immediately despite being somewhat occupied with their events.

One thing that makes or breaks most TCG shops is the bathroom cleanliness and the premises is well kept, tidy, and clean. It's been a common topic in reddit and Discord communities that keeping the environment hygienically sound and inviting has been one of the top factors of whether they would consider visiting again. I'm really happy that they keep the place well maintained.

My brother and I bought card sleeves for our Commander decks when we visited and now I'm bringing in another circle of friends here because, one, I have another Commander deck that needs sleeves, and two, their place is well kept and maintained.
