Super friendly staff, lots of good products for whatever youre looking for. Owner chatted with me a bit and you can tell he loves the job and the industry. The store is welcoming and has a great atmosphere. Check them out

Cozy game shop with a solid selection of Magic the Gathering singles and booster packs/commander decks. They also had Pokemon and I think some miniatures, but I dont know much about those. I found the prices on MtG singles to be really good, and the person behind the counter was friendly and very helpful. Overall an A+ experience.

Love this place. Went in with my s/o and daughters and had a great experience. Guy behind the counter (owner?) was really nice, answered our questions, gave great service, and offered some background on the place. Great experience, made a purchase simply for the good time, will be back to get more! Check it out! Looks like they were possibly broken into also which is a shame for a local business so make sure to support so they can get more products

Absolutely PHENOMINAL card shop. The owner was super friendly to me, finding a card I needed in a booster and giving it to me (free of charge.) Had a great selection of cards, I got almost all of my cards there I needed for my deck. Was super helpful and friendly with me, Id love to go again. 10/10, I would love to go once I come back.

Pretty cool place... The guy I spoke to was nice enough. He didnt particularly treat me badly, or well... He was kind of nonchalant about my presence. I tried sparking conversation, and expressed my interest in the game or Magic The Gathering.. But he either wasnt interested in speaking about it, or... I dont know. Maybe I smelled funny? LolMy reason for being there was to present the Magic cards I had and see how much u could get for it... I know nothing about the game, other than the basics.. And I especially dont know anything regarding value of magic cards. I excepted the first offer he told me.. And I left.Theres not a lot of stuff inside the store. Its been there for more than a year now. I live very close by. And I expected them to have more stuff in the store by now. But no.. No shelves with merchandise, other than the simple glass cases.. Very open, and empty place. Nothing to really get you excited about. Its also dimly lit.Anyway, if you need a place to go in a hurry... Come here. If you want super friendly staff, welcoming interior, and lots of stuff to look at and spend money on, dont come here.

My favorite LGS in Portland. Zakk is amazing - super friendly, great prices, encyclopedic knowledge about cards, and fun to chat with about history and camping. Check it out! :)

Have gone here several times in the past year for YuGiOh product and my experience every time with the guy behind the counter has been weird. It’s like if you don’t play Magic, then they’re not very interested in you being there.He’s not very friendly and he’s not very helpful. After calling today and inquiring about product, I thanked him and said I appreciated his help. He replied with utter silence and I ended the call on that note.They must do most of their business online because there isn’t very much product in the store and lots of empty space.I’d happily support this business more, since I play multiple TCG’s, but the people there just aren’t the community building type of people. Because of that, I’ll continue to drive out further East and West to do business with The Yu-Gi-Oh Outlet & Guardian Games.

Stopped into the shop for the first time yesterday just to check it out and had a very pleasant experience. Owner seemed pretty down to earth, lots of MTG singles for sale and fairly priced. I’m trying to support my local game store more now just trying to keep them open threw COVID so the when this is behind us they will still be here and we can play together again. So I bought a couple cards and a pack of Sleeves. Was surprised when he told me the price of one of the cards was $2 LESS then listed on C.K. And no shipping. Definitely coming back. Hope your around for years to come.

I like this place cuz its owned by good people that are helpful and honest, the prices are the same or less than other places (MTG packs are cheaper than anywhere else in town last I checked). Parking is usually fine on Broadway.

Friendly local game shop that hosts well-organized events on a weekly basis. The owner/manager is a really great guy who just likes to see others enjoy games like Magic: the Gathering.

So helpful. Takes the time to make sure you get just what you want, and unlike most card shops in Portland does not make you feel like youre bothering them when you feel like help. Did not have all the cards I wanted but helped me find good alternatives. Great little shop.

Experience Points is the best. The owner is always patient with middle school kids who shop at his store. My 11-year-old plays Magic there during pre-release events and is treated with respect and kindness.

Review №23

The staff is great. Only place I know of that you can sell off trading cards in Portland. You can just sit down at a table with friends and play a game. One problem is there isnt any free water, so you can get very thirsty while there, so bring water. Prices of products are cheap.

Great little magic shop (MTG). Best prices on singles in the Portland metro area, if they got it, plus best trade in value. Cards come and go the way they do at this neat place to sling spells. Friendly staff.

Don’t let the small store fool you - Experience Point has incredibly knowledgeable staff, as well as draws in a broad and engaged community. They’ve been phenomenal with my 5 year old as he’s picked up Pokémon, and have been patiently helping me as I’ve picked up both Pokémon and Magic The Gathering alike. This place really does offer something for both beginners and enthusiasts, players and supporters. Definitely check it out!

Great little shop! Been a patron of this store for close to 4 years. They have a great selection of magic and pokemon singles, fat packs, and boosters. Also one of the few places I can find miniatures for D&D and Pathfinder. Ive enjoyed watching this business grow, because the owners are just amazing. My first choice nerd shop in portland.

The dude with the ponytail in there tried giving me 11 dollars for $70 dollars worth of cards. No paperwork no asking for my ID like you would expect I think he was trying to rip me and the store off but the other employee the chick one is alright
