Fistful of Cards Toys, Games & Comics - Ridgecrest, California

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!

For starters, this is a place you HAVE to experience for yourself. It is not your average card shop by ANY means. Don't just take my word for it, go there at least once, that's all it takes. From the moment you walk through the door, the excitement and fun can be felt like static in the air. The options for gaming and collecting are astounding! But it doesn't end there... not only are the products available to buy, but the prices are great, and you can actually PLAY the games you collect and love there too. Magic, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon, OnePiece, Dragon Ball Super, Lorcana, Star Wars Unlimited, Warhammer, War Machine, D&D, Cyberpunk, Mage The Ascension, Super Smash Bros... the list goes on and on AND ON! There is even a huge cabinet FULL of tabletop board games! The events are where the real treasure is though. Sanctioned Pokemon League Challenge and League Cup, Lorcana set Championships, and Friday Night Magic, just to name a few. They are also an approved pre-release store! That makes it the perfect spot for anyone else who is like me and just can't wait to pick up the newest release AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Words do not do it justice... stop by, check it out, and find out for yourself how awesome it all is! Guaranteed, you WILL NOT be disappointed.

Just found Fistful Of Cards recently and I completely love this newer foreman hobby shop. They offer a wide selection of Gunpla, TCG's and all kinds of other nerdy stuff. They offer a fun and chill spot to hang out, play MTG or D&D. The staff is always on point and knowledgeable and super friendly. I always spend at least an hour or more here shopping and playing. Either way it's such a breath of fresh air to have a newer modern format place in town to chill and shop and spend money.

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.

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!
