Great Place, First Time Buying Pokémon. And I brought Home The Rainbow Rayquaza Secret Rare.... Letssss GooooooI’m definitely will keep buying more Pokémon Cards

Stopped in for the first time in years! As pleasant as I remember. Need to visit more often!This shop deals in tabletop and board games of all kinds; if you find yourself in Bakersfield, drop by and have a look around. Support local businesses!

This place is great. whether its table top games, board games or card games like Magic, they have what you need. they have plenty of stock, they can order specialty items, they have a play room in the back for events (which has an extra cooler for summer). Also staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Whether you are a beginner figuring things out or a veteran looking for something new, they can get you sorted. I highly, highly recommend them for all of your gaming needs.

Always love going here. Staffs super friendly!

Nice little place huge selection of DND stuff but its kinda tucked away still Id suggest checking it out

Super cute place. Took my nephew there since he just got into pokemon and the lady was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend over going to a superstore or Amazon.

Knowledge and pleasant staff. very friendly and welcoming looking forward to a pokemon tournament

Dont go here for Pokemon cards. They are using the shortage of cards to price gouge. Vivid voltage packs are $6 out of a booster box, the sets that have 4 packs, and a bonus card are $45. Ive been coming here for years. Never again.To PGC, you should be ashamed price gouging your customers that have been shopping with you since you were on white lane.::EDIT:: Then dont be part of the problem and purchase from people that are price gouging and then be forced to price at an unreasonable price. I would rather you werent selling them at all then to be price gouging. Thats why I turned around and walked out of the door the moment I saw the price. I could have bought every pack you had if I wanted to, but I refuse to be part of the problem. Im sorry, but that is not an acceptable answer to me.::EDIT 2:: Youre struggling but youre also selling everything youre getting in?...

First time going and to say the least was very excellent. The space there has a really cool atmosphere. Went to find some Yugioh cards and found some! Well be going there frequently now.

Cool little hobby shop. Friendly workers. My kids love visiting. Wish they dabbled in sports cards as well.

The crew is ALWAYS awesome and the store is always friendly. I can stay there all day!

Been going here for years, know the owners personally and love supporting my local cars store

Best card store in town! Very friendly employees!

Excellent place for fantasy card games and characters. Plenty of them that you paint yourself for the do it your selfer.

Their Pokemon booster boxes are well priced compared to the resell market and overall it was a pleasant experience. Looking forward to doing more business with them!

Always a great visit to my local card shop

Great Commander FNM

They had everything I needed, wish they played some music cause its soo... Quite! But they have good knowledge of what they are selling.

Ordered a game online and drove an hour and half to pick it up only to be told it wasnt in stock and they said they have been having trouble with their website. Pretty frustrating since I got a text and email saying it was ready for immediate pickup

Great place for cards, games, and table top accessories!

Super friendly staff, epic product and the conversation you can have with then makes you wanna come back

A great store for tabletop RPG and card game players! The staff is very helpful in scheduling a reservation for games on a frequent basis, and their decor makes it all the more fun! I highly recommend this establishment for any new or veteran eclectic hobbyist!

Great gaming store that hosts D&D games (for free typically). sells books, dice, board games, figurines, trading cards, and host Friday night magic, Pokemon card game, as well as Wednesday D&D. You looking for a book that they dont have in stock? No problem, they will order it for you. Want to try a game before you buy it? They have open board games for trying it out. So you know if you like the game before you get it. I love going to this place though I wish I could go more often.

The employees were very friendly :)

Great place for people with hobbies that pertain to card and board games. Staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable! And its child friendly! Another thing worth mentioning is the pricing is fair on their merchandise and they have a point system that can help you get discounts towards things youd like! Overall I really recommend the shop! Best in town hands down!

Employees were helpful and knowledgeable, if slow to come to the register. Selection is limited but not bad for their magic card collection and board game section. The space is adequate for small gatherings and they have a board game rental which is cool. There is no A/C so be prepared if you come in summer for a very warm visit.

The people here are very welcoming of new people and the staff are very niceto everyone

Paladins has always been a fantastic game shop. I first came to Paladins in 2009 and have been extremely satisfied with everything from customer service to product purchased there.

I will never spend a dollar in there again. Champions Path ETB retails for $49.99 and they wanted $89.99. Wow Ripping your customers off. Even with supply and demand you guys should be ashamed of yourselfs.

Best place in the world. If I didnt have children Id be there day and night. Wonderful staff, friendly atmosphere, would recommend.

Great place to check out if youre into strategic board/card games... its a little hard to find because its not visible from the road. however, this address is correct. Great customer service, they buy/sell Magic The Gathering cards, but only look at up to five cards over the counter per day. Ill have a lot of fun playing Friday Night Magic here. :)

Very peaceful and amazing prices!

Best card and game shop in town. Open areas to play, they have food you can buy, just a good hangout in general.

This place is our Go-To for ALL our game g needs! The staff is great, the selection is great, its just overall AWESOME! We have NEVER been disappointed. Plus their reward program makes it easy for us to rack up those points for free merchandise!!

The owner was very friendly and fun to talk to and gave me great info of upcoming DND session

The people here are great. Easy to talk to and love what they do. Are willing to help you make the best of your gaming experience!

Great staff ok selection very organized lots of events great community and wont break the bank

Very inviting game store with great, friendly, accomodating staff. We were traveling across the country and using game stores to stretch our legs wherever we needed. This store was nicely laid out for the different types of gamers to have space for their hobbies. Good selection of product. All around, Paladins is a very nice store.

My fiancee and I came from out of town for a concert and we had this place in mind to stop by for our MTG cards beforehand. Needless to say the place is lovely, the staff is awesome and very friendly. We will definitley be returning here again!!!

Great fun place. You can get almost any game you can think of.. from card games to board games to d&d and all in between. You can also test some game out before you buy. and if they dont have it the can order it.

Great prices. nice service and selection. would definitely suggest a visit.

The place is very small it’s pretty much just bored games I went expecting to get a box of cards and they weren’t there like it said on here. So I buy the grab thing were there’s 15 cards in each pack. I opened them. 1 pack has 2 packs of 15 I bought 4 so do the math you get 120 cards. And they were fake cards. The sides were uneven looked bleached and worn out. Each card pack is like $4 so I got 12 fake packs.So for $48 dollars I could’ve had got a tag team tin for $25 and have money left over

Number one location for me

Great store. Friendly staff and atmosphere. Highly recommend if you are into board games and card games

Its ok however me and a pal Jack came in and left a binder not sure what needs to be done to get it cuz people were there when we called cuz it was like 10 mins after leaving so not sure if a player stole them or not

Paladins has been a part of the community for as long as I can remember. They truely have a passion for what they are doing and take care of the community. If you are looking for a honest and trustworthy place to play or shop please consider paladins.

Traded in magic cards for store credit. The site gave me a higher price for store credit (as expected) so I chose that. Looking at the receipt after turn in and they gave me cash value instead of store credit value for half the cards.Also the emphasis on Magic here is way way way to high. Myself and a family member tried buying 40k products and were standing at the counter for half an hour while they were doing things with magic players. (I will say that I understand that this shop makes its money through magic)I know some of the people involved at this place, as I used to play at GXP when I was younger, and know some people at other game stores.Dont get me wrong...this store is great for Magic players.

The place is awesome but small. I remember their old larger buildings and wish they could have kept it. Good choice for dice and stuff

Its ok place to game. They just need some strong air filters. I think the sweat is starting to seep into the walls from all the years of people going yet not showering.

Its a great place for a Pokemon or yugioh player but, if you want to play MTG youre better off going to Ottos Video Games and More.

Not a big selection of games but looked like a good place to hang out and have fun with friends. Prices were set at MSRP.

There were so many board games here. I would recommend this store to anyone who likes board games.

Great little place to go and hang out with friends

Great store. I enjoy thr atmosphere on yugioh saturdays. Bur be wary of getting ripped off when trading or letting people look at your trades. Got ripped 30 dollars worth

Paladins is always friendly and welcoming with a great selection on games and tabletop accessories.

I like the events Paladins holds. Its not my favorite place to shop, but they do have a good selection of games.

Great place to relax and enjoy some games. Awsome staff.

Best game store in all of Kern County. They host awesome events for many different trading card and tabletop games.

I havent actually been to the store but I called with a question, and whoever I spoke to was extremely helpful and friendly. I was impressed.

The 1$ grab bags are the best thing to quickly upgrade most decks.

By far one of the best game stores that I have been to. Great selection, knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Great experience at a casual MtG tournament in one room while hardcores were in the other room. Friendly and fun environment for men, women, and teens. Will attend again in the future.

Been there a few times. The guys are very knowledgeable with anything that has to do with magic cards, and pokemon cards. Theres also tournaments for magic, and pokemon players who like angaging in competitive playing, or trade.

Friendly staff, great selection of games and cards, welcoming environment. Would definitely recommend!

Great place as well as a great location. The staff were helpful even though they were real busy dealing with FNM. They have a wide variety of board and card games and they have a list of events posted on the wall so you can see for yourself what events are coming up.

Been coming here over a decade. The owners are great people and provide the best tabletop location in town.

Love this place been going here since I was 14 always great customer service and the owners are just the best people you could ever meet

Awesome products and awesome & friendly people. Events are always a blast to participate in.

Honestly best place in town to go and game. good prices and amazing customer service

Awesome store! Many great choices and the community of people are friendly and helpful. Plenty of events to go to. Look foward to it.

Very amazing place to play card games and meet new people. The only issue I had is that they dont sell a lot of playable Pokemon TCG singles.

Very fun atmosphere for gamers and families with something everyone can enjoy and get into.

Love the place its has a very wide selection from d&d to card games and has a good community

Love palladins, owners are amazing and great selection of the hottest games.

Great community of gamers. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.

From where I live in Bakersfield, this is the best place for TCG players like myself who enjoys playing Pokémon. They always host Tournaments every sunday.

Staff is friendly and products are great. Everyone is nice and i always feel welcome

Wonderfully accomodating for wheelchair disabled. Good gaming setup.

Got my magic deck with help of customers, great variety, staff knows what theyre doing

Great experience, will be back again

I love going to this game store friendly staff and great prices.

They buy Magic the gathering cards at 50% on the dollar not a bad place to go if you need to come up on some cash

Friendly staff, good selection, and fair prices.

Staff is knowledgable is all hobbies from trading cards, board games, to tabletop rpgs.

Great Place tosearchforcards and boardgames. Great place tohngout with friends

Probably the best hobby shop in town. At least the cheapest with the best selection outside of warhammer. Their staff is really friendly, they carry miniature paints, some wh40k/AoS and Warmachine. Their big thing here though is magic the gathering. For buying theyre great, but ive never gamed here since all they seem to do is card games. Where ottos is very focused on big spender wh40k clients, paladins is really focused on just doing business. They do very little big ticket items as far as i can tell and they actually price compete from time to time with amazon. Ottos has turned me away 3 times when ive tried to give them money because they hate lowering their prices, paladins will though if its only a couple bucks. No ac though, just a big fan, place smells like a locker room after a game during a busy and hot day. Ive wanted to stop in and try to mingle a couple times but the smell and heat is impossible.

Has a good atmosphere. people were inside playing when I was there.

The owners and staff are very helpful and friendly!! The also hold events that are very well organized and fun!!

This is a very fun and neat place.

The people here are nice, and knowledgeable, and they get new items regularly!

This place is great! Im here almost every day! :D

It was great. The layout of the building is iffy in my opinion but not a deal breaker for me.

Nice place to play cards and family as well !

Expensive, but good

Home away home. goats milk is d best lol

Great place!!! The staff are really nice and helpful.

Wonderful store, great selection, and really friendly staff!

Staff is always helpful.

Good surroundings, fun atmosphere and nice people.

Great place to get your board games and cards
