Black Diamond Games

★★★★★

“Black Diamond Games is easily one of the best game stores in the East Bay. The selection is outstanding, with a huge variety of tabletop games, trading card games, miniatures, accessories, and hobby supplies. Whether you’re a longtime gamer or just getting started, there’s something for everyone. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to help with recommendations or answer questions. They also host tournaments, game nights, and community events, making it a great place to meet fellow gamers and try something new. The store is clean, well organized, and welcoming. One of my favorite features is the Ding & Dent sales, where you can find some incredible bargains on games with minor box damage. From Magic: The Gathering and other card games to board games of every genre, Black Diamond Games has just about everything a gamer could want. Highly recommended!”

“I decided to just go for a drive just to enjoy a drive and honestly I wound up forgetting I was about to hit the bridge and wound up paying the toll to hit Benicia. Didn't wanna waste my toll and not visit a fun spot, so I googled MTG near me and wound up at Black Diamond Games. OMG I am so so happy that fate steered me in their direction for a few reasons. First of all, the store is pretty big with a large gaming area. Second of all, they have a huge variety of games and other hobby items. Third of all, there are quite a few fun items (plushies, dice sets, blind boxes, etc). Finally, the 2 people working today were incredibly kind to this elder weeb/nerd and very new MTG player. Got a few packs to rip, a blind box, and some card dividers for my newest storage box. I also got to have a fun lil convo as well with people who honestly kind of understood me, which is always a bonus! Honestly, I wish I was a lil closer because I'd definitely stop by on a game night sometime. Oh! LGBTQIA+ friendly also! Support your local game shops y'all!”

“Employees are VERY nice! One of them recommended a better, slightly cheaper pair of cutters when he saw the ones I was going to buy. Everything was well stocked and there was as assortment of paint options.”
