Paper Hero's Games - Los Angeles, California

Aubrey Sassoon

A fantastic local game store with plenty of room to play whether it’s for the posted theme nights/events as well people just coming in casually to play some MtG or tabletop games.

I don’t really write reviews but PHG deserves it for the way this store has felt like that third place where I can meet up with friends or just play casually with some of the regulars if I feel like it.

Brian and the rest of the staff are always super helpful. I usually buy at least something small to support the store, but I’ve never felt any pressure to buy anything as a condition of being in the space and I think that goes a long way to making the environment as inviting as it is so that when I am looking to buy a booster box of cards or a deck storage box or whatever larger purchase I know I’m gonna get it from them. I’ve even waited until they had specific single cards in stock just because it felt right to get it from them.

There’s other stores with fancier little details and different offerings, but this store is where my friends and I return again and again for the welcoming community and the friendly atmosphere.

Unlike other stores that funnel MtG commander games into specific nights there’s basically always some people down to play there, but I’m always catching glimpses of groups of people coming in to play different board games or warhammer, D&D groups meeting up, as well as meetups for Lorcana, Pokémon, yiu gi oh, etc.

been here twice in search of the “board game meetup” group. the first week there was no way to determine what table was doing what. I asked the guy up front and he just waived his hand in the general direction of all the tables and walked away. the next week I showed up again, after checking their website, social media, checked the meet up group page and I called the store, only to find out the meeting was cancelled. they said I should join their “whats up” but how about instead you post something online? its very easy to update people through some social media outlet. it also seems you have to be a regular to be “seen” by the people behind the counter. I'm sure they're going to respond with some type of excuse like they do for all the other reviews they don't like.

Great energy and friendly staff. Games are at retail price or higher and this location has fewer board games, but it’s a nice store and they have a decent section.

Has a ton of merchandise. Pricing could be better for edison format tournaments. But overall cool card shop.

Been in a few times and was slightly worried about my lack of knowledge on MTG, but the staff there have been very helpful in answering questions and recommending the next steps.

Recently picked up 40+ singles after ordering on the in-store kiosk. I felt really bad as it took awhile to do, but the staff said this happens sometimes. They mentioned I could message them through Facebook or Instagram with a larger order and have them send me a message when it's all ready to go. I felt a lot better about the situation and will do that next time!

Thanks again guys, it is great to have a boardgame/Card game store in West LA!

This is a great place to get some stuff for hobbies. A wide selection and welcoming atmosphere. In addition there are D&D, Mtg and Warhammer events happening often here.
