TATE'S Gaming Satellite - Lauderhill, Florida

Space, space, and more space! Great gaming space with helpful staff and regular visitors. Magic the Gathering tournaments and pre-release must visit. They also have a fantastic selection of Warhammer figures, paint, and books. A good selection of board games to play as well. They will make every effort to help new and veteran players alike. A great place to bring your young ones as well.

Dog water store. They dont limit one per person and make each release dreadful as the last. Workers are completely oblivious to morals. Been coming here for years but the last few releases have been handled so poorly and the workers are rude.

I'm not a gamer but this place is obviously doing something right. I walked in on a whim on Saturday night and there were probably 70+ people playing games. There was a great selection of games available for purchase and tons of D & D and Warhammer style miniatures. There was a display case up front with a collection of amazing,expert-level painted miniatures on display (my pics don't do them justice).

This is a very cool comic book store / an area to play Magic the Gathering or Commandor. They have different tournaments going on during the week.

I’ve only gone in once but I already know I love this place. I felt nervous about entering because I felt like people would judge me for being a girl (and dressing up really girly), but no one seemed to mind! It was awesome to see people playing card games on one side of the room and the other has a bunch of DnD, Board Games and Card Games. They have a lot of dice to choose from and they’re all at great prices! I highly recommend if you want to get into of the previously mentioned hobbies or want to look for more minis for your collection.

Very enjoyable place to sit down and play a few games of just about anything. They have a really good selection of various strategy, RPG, and card games.
They also have snacks and drinks to choose from to hold you over as you play. The only real downside is I've found that they tend to be a bit pricey on a few things....oh, and on a personal note, if you have any kind of injuries dont sit upstairs (Wednesday night when I was there was DnD night, and they made us move upstairs to give other players our table)....the stairs aren't fun to navigate.

I have been playing Yu-Gi-Oh! since 2003. I started Three J's Sportscards in Anaheim, California. I gave all my cards away to my friend Eduardo because it would cost too much to shipped them.

I moved here to Hollywood, Florida a month ago. Now that I settled down. I was at the Gamestop and one of the worker told me about this store called Tate's Gaming Satellite. He was giving telling about them buying and selling Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. I was really excited because I wanted to build up my Yu-Gi-Oh! collections again.

My sister drove me there and I went into the box with Yu-Gi-Oh! common cards for 10 cents each. I was so excited and I grab three boxes full of cards. The box have the number on the bottom with 800 counts. So I said okay this is not bad for $240.

We went to check out and the cashier said I have to count them, lol. I did not tell you that it was on Tuesday when they have the Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament going on from 4:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. We were checking out about around 4:00 p.m. Event the other worker was shock he was going to count the cards.

We walked around the store to buy 2 dice, Dragon Shield Sleeves classic style which is the shinny kind. They only have white and midnight blue. They did have some more colors for the matte which is not shinny. The classic gives glare if the light is on. A lot of people do not like that. But for me I like it. I got a 5,000 box to put my cards in. He said that I can not have the box 800 count . These boxes are so old and it on cost a dollar. I think that they have a sticker on the box that read monster, spell, traps, fusion, synchro, xyz, and link. I think they do not want to go there and print a new sticker for it. I got 3x Dark World Structure Decks.

My vision is not that great so I wanted to get some bigger dices. They had a lot of them but only the size 16mm. I wanted at least a 19mm or a 25mm size.

After ten minutes later he said, okay it is ready. My sister said "really?" I looked behind the counter to see some more Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. There was 6 dark world structure deck, 2 egyptian god structure deck, and maybe 6 booster boxes. I have seen more Yu-Gi-Oh! products in Walmart.

I ask him if they are doing a Yu-Gi-Oh! sneak peek Saturday. He said yes at 11:00 a.m.

My sister ask me to count the cards to see how long it would take. I did not mind because I love these Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. So I did while watching YouTube videos. It took me 1 hour and 25 minutes to count them.

Saturday have come. This store is 6 miles from my house. I got up early and took the bus there to Tate's Gaming Satellite. I was there 9:30 a.m. just waiting. Finally at 11:00 a.m. the store open.

The way Yu-Gi-Oh! sneak peek works is that you get 5 packs and a field center card. Konami have these promotion playmats for the store to give out. I gave hime $22.50 for it. He said next. I asked him what about the promotion playmat. He said I had to scan the QR code. Give my email and name. If I get the email, that means I win the playmat.

Call me old-school. But all these years I have been going to these sneak peeks. The have these Yu-Gi-Oh! sneak peek about every 3 1/2 months. Most of the people that go these events are teenagers and kids.

Even if I did enter and win. The means I have to come back again just to get a $30 Yu-Gi-Oh! playing mat. Not only that but my email and name is out into the internet to the highest bidder?

Pros: get 2x OTS Yu-Gi-Oh! packs for entering the tournament for $10.

Cons: sad, unhappy, lazy, and unknowledge workers. No products what so ever. I have wanted to always support local shop. I will have to give it a pass after spending over $400.

Hopefully I can find another Yu-Gi-Oh! store to play the tournament. I have to pass on this store.

If you do not care about my experience. You just wants to go play Yu-Gi_Oh! and go home. This store is for you. Enjoy.

Went to my first D&D night last night. Felt welcome and had a lot of fun. 10/10 would recommend.
