The Gamery - Elk Grove, California

Really nice place to not only shop for new cards but to also game and relax!

The Gamery has been a frequent stop for me and my friends, providing both a very fun and welcoming experience despite some of our unfamiliarity with MTG and DnD overall. The store owners and staff are all super sweet and helpful when it comes to answering game related questions, and we've had nothing but fantastic experiences with them. The shop itself is very clean, well organized, and surprisingly homely. On busy nights, it feels like a true to life bustling tavern; boisterous, lively, but never overwhelming as there's always a spot to settle at.

Thank you all for all of the hard work that you've put into this place 🙂 I can't wait to be back soon enough!

This is a pretty awesome LGS. My buddy and I discovered this place about 6 weeks ago and we love it. We have returned multiple times since and we highly recommend it. The owners are all really friendly and the place has a good vibe.
The place is huge too. It looks like it is 3 or 4 retail suites all combined into one shop. Lots of tables and chairs to play whatever tabletop games you want. I go to play Magic, which seems to be their main focus, but they also cater to Pokémon players and D&D players as well. They have private D&D rooms available, and they have a decent sized virtual reality area setup.
They also have arcade style games (the newer throwback cabinets that seem to be 3/4 size) and a huge selection of board games as well.
I love this place and I totally recommend it to other fans of games....all games.

This place is awsome. Although I'm not into the gaming part like D&D or Magic the Gathering they have a huge room for VR and vintage arcade games. And the owners are so friendly and so warm. My son fell in love with the place after one visit. Definitely going. Will be regulars.

So much praise to give this store. It has MTG tournaments weekly. Their calendar is always packed with events that are happening throughout the month. The store is stocked with plenty of MTG cards that are really rare and expensive too! 7 decent sized tables in the main room, 2 private rooms to rent and two other additional suites next door for tournaments. Outside of MTG they also have Pokemon and Yu Gi Oh cards. They get new Pokemon packs all the time and is totally the place to go when new items drop.

Their D&D setup is great too! Loads of dice to be bought here. There are even locally crafted dice made of gemstone which is pretty badass. They have some D&D books on hand but if you want them to stock a certain book all you have to do is ask. Their D&D events get crazy packed. Wednesday with their one shots and Friday and Saturday with their campaigns they run. The DMs there are great to get along with and run interesting campaigns.

The staff there is simply wonderful. George, Robert, and Jacob are the the main ones usually there manning the counter. They are knowledgeable in MTG and D&D. Robert is a DM for D&D and also runs the VR room.

Does this place have a downside? A few things. The snacks are a bit overpriced and the selection is limited. Their miniature selection for D&D is small. Wish they'd have more of a selection. They do have Warhammer items but not as much but that will come in time. Outside of those small issues this store is still 5 out 5.

When you imagine what your ideal local game store would be like, The Gamery will likely hit close to the mark. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, large selections of the latest games and cards, comfortable playing tables, VR games, events & lessons, and even an attached cafe is coming soon! Easy access and plenty of parking too.

Highly recommended whether you're an experienced gamer, just want to learn, or looking for something for the gamer in your life.

Great LGS with plenty of space! Store is massive in size with comfortable play tables in the main room with additional private rooms to be used as well as a VR center!! Plenty of events being held here for MTG and DnD so you're into either stop in !

Hey! I’ve been coming here almost since the beginning and I’ve had an amazing time! This place truly got me into DND and now I love it and the people I play with. Now almost every week I come from Stockton with my aunt and uncle just to come here. All my DMs have been super creative and fun and have truly made my experience a 10/10. Jacob is also really great really interactive, funny, and helpful. If you enjoy having fun with other nerds definitely go to the gamery!

This place is awesome! The staff is so nice and incredibly patient. I went in to do the VR escape room and I was so clueless about how to do it. They were super sweet and took the time to show me how to do it without making me feel like the idiot I probably seemed like. Also, they've got some super tasty snacks! I'll definitely be back.
