I asked the dude at the counter, "Why do you only have pip (dotted) six sided dice and no numbered six sided dice?" He said typically people that play D&D prefer pip dice. First of all, I've been playing D&D since 1989, & that's the stupidest fing thing I've ever heard. The first time i ever saw numbered 6 sided was when i first played D&D. If anything its the opposite. Dudes were so convinced of their ill begotten nerd lore that they made it store policy. More like Beta Strike Games.

Their website only lists cards, but I felt pretty confident I could pick up a hex field game mat here. They had the mat AND minis! The minis were especially well priced at about 5 per 2 pack, even buying used on eBay runs nearly double that. This was our second visit and we've picked up YGO boosters to crack each time ?

Great shop, good Selection, and if you order singles these guys will fulfill your orders and have them ready for pick up super quick.Warning though if you are looking for actual casual commander play, you won't find it at the shop. I've been to the shop for a couple months now to play commander and I've only had one good experience.

This place while small, is full of heart and has a great community backing it. From weekly events to just the every day games, there's always someone willing to try and teach you the game their playing. Other reviews are spoiled by modern customer service expectations of always talking to customers when the majority of their product is in front of their face and priced. Even willing to go through 5 o'clock traffic to get there for a couple of games!

I Did not have a great experience at the shop. I walk in and ask one of the guys behind the counter. If they have a singles binder for Yu-Gi-Oh, he didn’t even look up at me. He said in the most monotone and boring voice not looking away from his computer. All our singles are on our website. I don’t know about their website so I ask, so do I just go onto the website order what I want and I can physically pick up here? and he did not answer me did not look at me, so I walked out

If you are into card collecting there is no other option in San Marcos! The deals they offer and the selection they have beats out any big chain in the area. Must stop by here, even just to check it out!!

First time I walked in their's a decent amount of staff and great used console and gaming selection I may get a ps4 when I get paided. Also just one thing the staff didn't even say anything to me or ask if I need help finding anything that's the one thing I thought was weird. I'm from Austin and the sanctuary card shop south Austin was my spot till I moved here so hope to come to like the alpha strike games next time I come throu maybe play some magic

Me and a friend from out of town stumble into this shop. The guys there were very welcoming and tge store was bigger than what I anticipated. They have different events on different nights. Nice hidden gem in Sam Marcos. Would recomend to stop by and check out the shop.

good store but money-throwing 'collector's' who aim for the top spot- killing me and the store

A decent stop stop for ccg and board games enthusiasts. The last couple times we’ve been though, there’s been a bad smell and the staff was not the friendliest, insisting I use the website to order cards that are in the cabinet. Then let another customer get cards without using the website.

Nice shop. A tad lacking in parking.

Great place to build a community and go to if you love any kind of card game! Their tournaments are really fun and I personally love buying and trading pokemon cards here!

Great little hobby shop that has mostly card games and collectables. Personally I play the Magic: the Gathering card game and this store's inventory is one of the largest in the area. I drive from Austin to check out their inventory and play some games when I can.Staff are nice and communicative. All trading card singles buy/sell orders are done through their website using the BinderPOS app. The nice thing about this app is that it accurately keeps track of their stock, so I don't have to ask about singles they might not have.Only complaint I have would be to replace the table mats since they are getting a bit grimey.

There are few shops that have a more diverse stock or as welcoming for new tcg players as Alpha Strike games. I have never had an issue with staff, website, etc. This is the best local game shop in texas.
