AMAZING. I cannot express in a simple Google review how incredible this store is. The variety of items from cards and games to buildable models and even retro video games , is simply awesome. I’ve purchased gameboy games, D&D dice, books, character sheets, Pokemon sealed products, graded retro cards, Yugioh products, MTG cards and so much more and always have such a fun time browsing, chatting with the staff and hanging out opening my card packs! They have one of the best game rooms to play and join tournaments that I’ve ever been to. Comfortable seating, amazing climate control, I mean seriously I just can’t give enough praise. Check it out for yourself, you’ll love it. I’ve barely scratched the surface describing how great this store is for our small community. 5/5. 10/10. 1 million out of 1million!

I was looking for a place to buy Pokemon cards and rekindle my childhood passion for the franchise. I saw this place a couple times when I was going to the boba spot next door. Today I decided to go in and was welcomed by an incredibly helpful and friendly staff. The store and overall environment is super chill, fun, and welcoming. The community seems fantastic. I spent my whole day here sifting through all the Pokemon card raw singles trays, and the staff and another customer helped me find some of the cards that I was looking for. Everyone else seemed to be having a great time in the store as well; there were groups running MTG and DnD games and customers happily finding cards and other collectibles. Personally, I enjoyed that they were playing some shows on the TV like Goosebumps as I was going through all the cards lol.

Overall had an amazing experience. This place is great. I'm working on completing the original Base Set for Pokemon, so I will definitely be coming back and looking for those cards! Huge shoutout to the supportive staff.

This is a place that Ridgecrest has been missing. A place to hang out with friends and family. Last time I felt at home in a place like that was the 90s. Everyone who works there has been professional, polite, and friendly. They are ready to help and offer encouragement to learn new things. And it is free.

I feel welcome and safe, even though I have social anxiety. Lol.

Only thing I pay for is the merch and buy in events. Are the prices a little higher than places like Amazon? Sure, BUT this a small business that can't buy in the levels of bulk that a mega corporation can. So I will happily pay a little extra for a welcoming annd friendly environment.

Keep up the good work and don't let the haters get to you. 🙂

This place is family friendly, safe, clean and fun! The staff is helpful and encourages everyone to have a good time. Pokemon league is super legit and great for all ages. We did their dnd night and had a blast. Nice fun one shot with custom dice and figures for the night. Raffles, community events , free help with games and even free rental items like pokemon decks, game mats , etc. don’t want to play , go in and watch card games, dnd, tabletop miniature games, collect something fun from the shop or build a model kit. Video games, card collecting, comics, and more… I could go on and on but it’s better to just go in and check it out yourself!

Great local game store! They offer a variety of TCG events, including Pokemon, MTG, Lorcana, and more. They even host non-card game-related events, like Smash Bros. tournaments and model kit build nights. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to introduce you to the basics of any of the games available here. The community is welcoming, so it's easy to find an open group and start playing. They also have a good selection of items.

Amazing lil store that has a bunch of cards and room fir events, games etc. For a place that only recently started has a little bit of everything! I love coming here as the owners are extremely friendly and are willing to talk and even teach how to play if I wanted. ( maybe later I'm a nervous guy 🤣) definitely recommend this place if you like comics, cards, dnd or anything in between!

Fist Full of Cards is hands down one of my favorite spots in town! They always have something exciting happening—whether it’s tournaments, game nights, or special events, there’s never a dull moment. The selection of items they carry is fantastic, from collectibles to all the essentials you need. But what really makes this place shine is the atmosphere and the amazing people who work there. The staff is incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and always willing to help out or chat about the latest games. If you’re looking for a fun, engaging place with a great community feel, Fist Full of Cards is it!

Love your store very inviting to people of all ages and awesome selection of gunpla. The space is nicely open for card players and board gamers though model kit build nights is by far my favorite thing to do. Hopefully one day they can have a model kit contest. Thank you for being a part of our community for over a year now.
