All the staff are knowledgeable and friendly, they really make sure to take care of you. They’re selling prerelease kits and they even include extra packs that were supposed to be given out in person tournaments at the event. They make sure to give everything that’s intended to be given by the manufacturer instead of other places who may be greedy/stingy. I’m glad to be able to support such an awesome local business!
Very friendly and they have the most popular board games stocked. The selection is a little small but the store is small to begin with so I cant blame them.
It is the neighborhood place for Magic The Gathering players. Its well known by players across town.Venue is free to visit, play, and learn. Staff is friendly and helpful. New players get free Magic the Gathering decks.All release events are well organized. They utilize the pizza restaurant next door to provide both additional event space and food for participating players.You can also find Pokemon cards and a wide variety of board games. If you pay to play board games you get the fee deducted when you purchase a board game.
I have been to roughly 30 different game shops, stretching from pinole to san Jose and back up the coast. I havent seen someone any store cram nearly as much MTG product into such a small space while keeping it so neat. Props to whoever does the planograming here. It looks great. They sell singles too.
Friendly staff helped my little nephew find Pokemon cards
Knowledgeable staff helped me grab the right games for my group. Support your local game store!
D and the crew at versus are fantastic. My kid loves to come here and play Magic tournaments and Everyone is always very friendly. They are also very helpful in explaining a new board games and walking me through what the best thing to buy is for the family. I love this store! I really really love this store! Lets try to support local businesses and Shop here everyone shop here! D is so cool he always gives me great explanation for games. My son loves the magic tournaments he would live here if we let him. The prices are also pretty reasonable. There is no need to go to a big chain store to buy a board game. You can buy it here! Support versus! The game mats are also fantastic we have bought three of them. I could go on and on about how great the store is and I think I will. It is so fantastic to have a neighborhood place to cares about kids who cares about games and cares about community and wants to make our neighborhood rock with board games.
Store is a bit small, a few tables that people can use to play games. However, it has a really good selection of board games. They recently had a clearance sale and they had very good deals. The owner is also extremely nice and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to pick up a board games or looking for a place to meet new people while playing games.
This is a wonderful place to play games! Card games like MTG(Magic the Gathering), Board games, and Pokemon. A fun and welcoming community. I really appreciate having a place to play so close to home. They are very supportive of new players learning the games.
A great small board game store. Friendly and very helpful since we were not sure what to buy as a gift for friends and had many questions. They stock the top games, so it’s not too overwhelming.
The owner is super friendly and helpful. He spent a large amount of time trying to find the perfect board game for my group of friends and even pulled up instruction videos on his phone for a few games he needed a refresher on. I would absolutely come back for my next board game!
Fireboy and Watergirl Unblocked hudgames is so hard but i still love it.
Versus games is the best place to play Magic the Gathering in the bay area. With weekly tournaments in every format of the game there is something for everyone. I highly recommend this place for everyone who likes Magic or who wants to learn about the game
I came here for one of their summer clearance sales. Super friendly staff able to describe a game you were curious about. Glad to help a local business
Love coming to Versus
Great local game shop. They usually have events going most days. Nice staff. A little more of a mature crowd. Some people can be competitive.
Great store for magic! Magic almost every night, the staff are great and friendly, and so are the regulars. Definitely the best place to play in the city!
Awesome space to play. They always run a great tournement. Excellent board game selection if card games are not your favorites.
I loved this place. Everyone was very nice. Even though I did not win, it was still an awesome experience. As a beginner, the players were very helpful. #mtg #versusgames
Great place to get games with knowledgable staff. They play alot of MTG but they play other games as well. They open games for people to try. They keep all the most popular games. Support the local business.
Great people who encourage a welcoming environment for old and new players. Great Wednesday night commander!
Hands down the best game store in San Francisco! Number 1 place to buy board games, Magic the Gathering cards, and Pokémon cards!D is the store owner and hes great! Amazing top notch customer service! He takes the time out to help you find a game that fits you. Be it cooperative games, complicated games, party games, etc. Hes willing to explain and if time permits demo the game for you. Where else can you play test a game before buying it? Not only dose the store sell popular games but it also sells local games made by people in the Bay Area.If you like Magic the Gathering, this is the Bay Areas headquarters. The next best place is located in San Jose. The local players are fun, friendly, but still competitive enough to be a challenge. 7 days a week, you will always find someone to play with in the afternoons. Standards, Modern, Legacy, Commander, Draft, Sealed; they play everything here. People who trade cards here are also friendly and fair, often using apps to make sure every trade is equal. If youre looking for a place to compete in Friday Night Magic, Pre-Release, Launch, and Game Day for exclusive promo cards, this is the place for you!Everyone here is like family, making it a very safe place for kids as young as 8 to come play and hang out.At Versus Games, all challengers are welcomed!
Great place to come play magic or buy magic and other board game merchandise. Staff is really friendly and always ready to answer questions. #mtg #versusgames
Awesome neighborhood spot to play board games, magic, Pokemon. Highly recommended for any level of player to check out!
I love coming here for fnm, and mtg events, very friendly environment, and the employees are nice. Kids I know come down here to play Pokémon, and although I don’t play I can see they enjoy it. Very chill space and if card games aren’t your thing, don’t worry they have board games to buy and play.
Awesome local card shop. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They offer events every day.
Great place for Magic the Gathering, Pokemon and board games. Always a good experience and D is a great owner.
I recently got back into Magic the Gathering and decided to take a few weeks and try out Friday night and Monday night magic at the LGSs in Bay Area. Here is my review for Verses Games.The people working at Verses games are very nice and friendly. They have an excellent manager. Hes very inviting and seems to be happy to teach you anything about magic you need to know. The staff is very friendly and seem to like their job. Grade A+The store is very clean and well organized with the exception of the first table, which was littered with cards, papers, and laptop. I noticed the table was in the same state during their Friday night Magic event. Kind of like a make shift office.They have a great selection of Dragon pro sleeves which are nicely displayed on the wall. They also carry Maegic singles, booster boxes, and board games. The retail area is very crampt and the selection ofvitems is very small compared to all of the other stores Ive visited. The prices for accessories and sleeves are right in line with all of the other local stores. Verses Games does boast the best prices in booster boxes. Their normal price at $111for War of the Spark, is the same price you can get a booster box on Amazon. If you sign up for their store club you can get an additional $20 off of any booster box. So with the store club discount, you can get a box of War for $80 plus tax. Thats the best price Ive seen anyplace. Because of the lack of selection but great prices I have to give them a grade of B-The main reason to visit your Local Game Store (LGS) is to play what ever game your interested in, weather its Pokemon, Magic the Gathering or Lord of the rings. With the huge play space you would figure its easy to get into one of the drafts that are advertised on their website, but this is disappointedly not the case.I advise anyone that intends to show up to any of their Magic events call a head of time to see if you can get a spot or if the draft is even happening. If you dont, you will be waisting your time. The 2 times I showed up there to get into a draft they either cancelled the draft or said they were full. Ive never gone to a local game store and turned away from being able to draft and Ive been playing since the early 90s and for this to happen 2 Fridays in a row is amazing. Most places have a sign up roster and its first come first serve but not at Verses. The regulars call in during the day and take up all of the drafting spots. When you call its hit or miss. I called on a Saturday to get into a draft and no one answered the phone. I tried for 30 minutes calling several times. On Friday its the same response if they do answer were full. I see this place loosing lots of pontential sales because of this. Every time I go to a game store I buy something. Thats 100% of the time. If Im told their full every time then I never take the trip to play there and never spend money doing so. A sign up roster with first come first serve would fix this issue. This setiment is eccoed in every game store I visit about Verses games. People dont want to play there because their system sucks. Unless they decide to change their system of sign up, implement an online sign up like Eudemonia, or save space for walk-ins like Gamescape I could never recommend going to Verses to play even with the great prices, its just not worth it. Friday night magic grade: F-This place could be the best place to play if they figured out a better way to get people to play there
Versus is the best place to play MTG in SF. With daily tournaments of modern, standard, draft and more it has everything to offer that you could want from an LGS. If you live in the city or are just visiting this is a great place to go. I personally have been going for almost two years now and the staff and players are always super nice! #mtg #VersusGames
Wonderful place for all tabletop games and magic. D is a great store owner who really takes the time to know and welcome all his customers. Favorite place to play magic!
Fantastic store and owner. Very very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. If you have to visit one game store make it this one!!,
Amazing!!! Everybody is super nice, and the people that work there are also super nice as well as being very helpful. Great for recommending board games!
Magic, ff tcg, and Pokemon tcg all in one place. Great location and great people too! Would recommend to anyone, new and pro alike.
Thank You to the owner to reaching out to fix the issue. I have changed my review to 4 stars because of his efforts.*original review*Store hours online are inaccurate and staff does not know store rules. Called and asked if they had any MTG Boxes and was told yes. Drove to it only to be told in store that they dont sell boxes anymore. Wasted my time.
Excellent local store that sells magic cards, board games.
Warm environment and friendly owner! Highly suggest!!Deff place to go for Magic the Gathering, Pokémon and all board games!If you’re in SF, highly recommend!
Awesome staff, great #MTG tournaments. I love their discounts and the place is very awesome

Right next to the pizzeria, Versus games is the perfect spot for Magic!, Pokemon, or any board game you have in mind.
Great place for magic, pokemon and board games. Owner is also very friendly and super helpful
Great place to play games such as mtg, pokemon, and board games. Great events as well!
Great shop; the owner and employees are all very friendly and knowledgeable. I play there once or twice a week; the players are good sports, usually =D, and are welcoming towards new players.
Get all my board games from here! Good selection and super knowledgeable staff!
Great customer service. Very knowledgeable.
First time at the store for the #mtg prerelease. Average sized store makes good use of its space focusing on giving the players most of the area, ideal. Very clean looking/feeling place with a bright and attentative staff. They were able to answer questions and deal with issues on the fly during the crazy event. Players were of various age groups and the environment was overall very welcoming. Makes me want to play more regularly! #scg
Versus games is a great place for all things mtg Pokémon and board games and they have a really great community. :)
Versus has the best selection of board games and card board products. D is really nice and welcoming. #MTG #VersusGames Pokémon magic board games
Ok store for your gaming needs dont have much for single cards staff can be rude at times.
#mtg #versusgames Store is great with wonderful employees. Prereleases are packed in which you get to meet new friends.
My first #MTG pre-release at #versusgames because I am from Dallas. The largest I have been to. 100 people. I was very impressed with how very well organized it was. Had a great time. Store has a large variety of #MTG cards and accessories. Will visit #versusgamesagain when I am back in town.
I had a really nice visit to this shop and I can safely say that it was a great decision to go there during my trip to San Francisco, the guy who worked there was really helpful and found the perfect boardgame for me and my partner!
Very friendly staff and a great place for magic players of all skill levels. #versusgamessf #mtg
Versus Games has something for everyone. If you are die-hard competitive versus has it, if you are casual versus has it, or if you dont know how to play at all and want to learn versus is a great place to start. Good atmosphere, good staff, viriaty of games, versus is a one stop shop for your gaming needs. #VersusGames #mtg
Great place to play! Love it! #magic #pokemon #boardgames
Like usual, I only go for prereleases with my cousins and it was a fun experience! Will repeat for the next set! #mtg #versusgames
If you enjoy Magic the Gathering, this is the store for you! Casual and competitive play 7 days a week. Become a member and drafts are $10 and sealed is $15 - you cant even buy individual packs for that price. #VersusGames #MTG #LocalGameStore #LGS
I had a lot of fun at the rivals of Ixalan prerelease. They have a lot of board games magic the gathering and pokemon
Great place to drop by on a Wednesday for some pauper and EDH Magic the gathering. Wonderful staff that are willing to walk you through any boardgames you are interested in. Theyll even play a quick game with you. Not a pokemon player but they have the pokemon tcg too.
Versus Games is the best for Magic, Pokemon, and board games! A lot of fun!
Went there about a week ago to play a few rounds of draft, not a bad shop. Close to pizza and theres an outdoor parklet nearby b if you start to feel cramped in the shop (its a bit small) an ok selection of non-mtg titles but nothing over the top. All in all I definitly liked it, but its not the best in town, but, at least for the area.
Small shop, but very welcoming. Owner and all the other players were super friendly.
A smaller but very well curated boardgame selection. Staff is friendly and very helpful in selecting games.
Me and my Fiance flew from Philly to SanFran for vacation. We didnt want to miss the midnight prerelease for RoI so i started calling game stores, Versus was the only one that replied. We got there 2 hours early and they welcomed us in, talked to us, offered us snacks, it was such a warming and personal experience. We had so much fun and felt right at home even though we are 2000+ miles from home. You guys are all so amazing and have so much product other than magic! Pokemon, board games, FF, playmats, dice, everything you need is here. If youre in the San Fran area please check these guys out. P.S. thanks for the 8 packs of fate reforged, I pulled an Ugin
Great place to get boardgames pokemon and magic the gathering!

Magic the gathering + pokemon + board games = AWESOME!!!
Best hobby shop ever. Magic and board games held nightly.
Versus is the one stop shop for all mtg and tcg accessories and product. The staff are welcoming, knowledgeable, and always willing to help you get what you need.
Best place ever for real. great for tabletop games.
Great Store! Great events! #versusgames #mtg
Great staff, always a great selection of product, and always games to be played!
The staff at Versus are friendly and work hard to foster a friendly environment to play magic, pokemon, or board games. They are great and I spend too much money here.
Went to the Theros prerelease here. Had a blast. Its great to play at a place that is dedicated to gaming. They were a little rough around the edges, but the place is new and theyre still pulling themselves together. They need some better ventilation or AC, and the bare walls amplify the kind of mass conversation you get at a bigger event like a prerelease. That said, the staff is helpful and always friendly, and they do a smashup job of running the events smoothly and efficiently. They even raffled off some unrelated bonus swag just to spice things up a bit. I went there on a quiet day once and the Boss/Manager/Owner guy spent a lot of time and attention showing me some new tabletop games. Huge potential and a great first impression.
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Well curated selection of board games.
One of the best card shops in the bay area, really awesome community. #versusgames #mtg
I had a lot of fun at the pre release
