Jj’s Game Lounge

There are very few places more friendly than JJ’s Game Lounge. I go in weekly for Magic tournaments and for any other table top need I have. The employees are friendly, funny, and very reasonable. I have never had a bad experience in this store.

A friendly place. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable about game types– the perfect combo to recommend something. Would come and purchase again.

Had a great experience there. I had visited other game stores and all of them give you that, «Welcome, we are so nice, etc.» But it always felt «fake.»
JJ’s staff was, at least to my knowledge, genuinely welcoming and receptive.
For instance, I had never played D&D in my life but I was interested. Adam, a staff member, asked me if I wanted to create a character. I said yes. He printed a character sheet for me and helped me create a character. That same night I played D&D for the first time.
I absolutely recommend this place. The staff is great. The people who frequent the place are great.
Ps. It’s next to a sushi restaurant. So «ingame» snacks are pretty awesome.

JJ’s Game Lounge does what it does well. It’s a game lounge set up for some very serious tabletop & miniature gaming.
Don’t be scared! If you’re a casual gamer or just looking for a board game to give as a gift this is a good spot for you too. JJ’s is brighter and more welcoming than many other game stores to non-​gamers. The selection of packaged tabletop games is right up front so you can get it, find your gift, and get out (if you’re scared of game geeks).
I love this place. Selection can be limited at times; however, the staff is really friendly and helpful. They’ve helped me find alternatives that were in stock and also have offered to order rarer items for me. I always get greeted right when I walk in and never have to wait long for checkout. The vibe in this place is really relaxed.

Great place to play all sorts of games. Staff very friendly. Don’t be afraid to raise your voice to ask for help because the employees might be in a game with the customers to explain how the game works.

Helpful staff and fun that they’re willing to sample games. Definitely hope to go back to find some new games

Came in here and stood by the counter for 15min being ignored before walking out and leaving. They did come chase me down at my car and apologize. Even gave me a discount on the items I was looking for… but my wife and I still felt like this would not be a place we could recommend to others. I go to many game stores. and even if there is a tournament going on, you should acknowledge your customers when they walk in. There was a Smash Bros tournament going on… but the employees were all sitting at a table playing magic and never even said hi. One walked right past us, grabbed something behind the counter and walked back to his table.
Not coming back here. Do not recommend.

Came in earlier today looking for MTG singles.
I had called ahead to see if it was worth my trip. The kid on the phone was nice enough to set aside the a couple of the cards I was looking for .
When I got there, there was a different kid behind the counter. He was nice too, and when i mentioned commander he asked if I had my deck and wanted to play. I didnt have a deck on me but I would have totally played.
He also helped me look through their bulk rares for a harder to find card (Deep-​Sea Kraken) which they didn’t end up having.
After all that they gave me a free playmat (that has their logo on it).
Good overall experience. I wish they had some sort of inventory look-​up like some other stores but the customer service made up for that.
Def gonna come back to buy and maybe FNM if i get the time.

As a father with a son who plays magic, I have to say that this should be your first stop if you need to buy cards. There are not enough superlatives to say about my experience. The staff even pointed out less expensive ways for my son to build his deck. I would recommend this place to anyone!

I recently moved to the area, and I needed to find a place to trade my older modern staples for a new mtg standard deck. as well as meet some magic players to game with.
not only did Chris deal with me on the phone, but he also gave me his undecided attention while we hashed out our deal. he was very personable and professional. once i had my loot, i took a seat at a table and built my deck and i noticed that they didn’t have but 5 people in the draft. I decided to participate.
for FNM they draft at JJ’s, its a blast! when i went (4÷4÷2014) they had some pretty savvy drafters who absolutely crushed me in match 2 – 3. match 2 was close but i was dominated in game 3. the players were very nice about it tho. one of my opponents apologized each time he attacked me with his ⁴⁄₂ double strike flyer.
the store is great and the people there were quite nice to new comers, while its not as big as some of the other stores, it is big enough to have a really fun FNM draft we ended up at 9 players.
good service, professionalism, and a willingness to please is why i gave JJ’s 5 stars.

I really dig this place. They have so much table top games and magic. Many tables to game on, which is nice. But no heroclix which was a bummer. Other than that good people good place. Thanks for having your doors open.

I was looking for a place to play boardgames on national tabletop day. Unaware that JJ’s existed, I searched my area for the appropriate event venue. I spent 5 ½ hours there this past Saturday, April 5, 2014.
The staff were all super friendly and helpful. The selection of games is impressive with a wide variety of games which are difficult to find at a garden-​variety toy store.
What most impressed me was the staff’s willingness to demo games. I played 6 different games that day without the intention to purchase anything. One of the games I had considered purchasing for quite some time turned out to be less fun than I hoped, while another that I never intended to explore turned out to be an enormously fun experience.
I purchased the game. While the prices were all «list» the ability to demo prevented me from being disappointed with an I satisfying game, with the added experience of an enjoyable afternoon.
Nice going JJ’s. You earned my business.

JJ’s has started to feel like my first go-​to place for FNM. Great crowd with a great vibe and atmosphere, the staff is also helpful and welcoming. Aside from a good place to play some M: TG, JJ’s has a nice selection of board games available to play. Not only that, but their set up for tabletop is done well. Overall though, I do like the atmosphere, it feels welcoming for both adults and kids. Definitely would recommend others to check it out.

Jj’s Game Lounge is by far the best gaming shop in the San Fernando Valley. The staff are highly informative and extremely friendly. I would recommend any serious gamer or casual gamer out there to challenge this gem of a game shop.

JJ’s is a great little game store. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. If y u have any questions they are quite happy to help and offer any assistance they can. The store has a good array and variety of games from cards games, board games, miniatures, to everything in between. Not only that but they have lots of space for actual gaming or building. The customers are a good breed and are quite welcoming. If you want to find some new gaming buddies this is the place to look.
In addition the store has many different gaming leagues. They also demo lots of games from their large store use stockpile. So if you have no idea what to play try on out and you will get hooked on something. There are plenty of local places within walking distance for food so no worries there. Overall this is a great location and a great store.

By far the BEST game store in the west valley, if not THE valley! Everyone is absolutely helpful and more than willing to answer any & all questions. they’ll even demo games for you if they’re able! Top notch store with FANTASTIC customer service!

JJ’s is awesome! As a Warmachine/​Hordes player, I like the support and coverage they give to the games. Whatever the game you play, be it tabletop, CCG, RPGs, or Board Games, JJ’s got you covered! Friendly staff and a casual, family-​friendly atmosphere makes it a great place to go to!

One stop shop for all table top and mtg needs! Can’t wait to learn to paint my Zombicide miniatures and then on to Warmachine!!! :D

JJ’s Game Lounge is an amazing store. The proverbial gaming mecca in the West Valley. A store built by a loyal community with the desire to stay together and support their local community. Friendly and knowledgeable staff that care about their customers and go out of their way to carry everything us gamers need and run events gamers want to go to.
The most impressive part is the fact that this store was started by two kids in their mid-20’s who saw their old game store turn into a den of scum and villainy, run by a shady owner and his terrible drug habits. So what did they do? They dug into their own savings and put together the capital needed to start their own business. True American Entrepreneurship.
They have an amazing collection of miniature war games (all with sanctioned judges to run tournaments), hobby supplies (with classes taught by award winning painters and Youtube hobbyist personalities), boardgames (With probably the most knowledgable person there to run demos) and an amazing collection of Magic The Gathering CCG (Sporting 14 feet of displayed singles and a massive library of single cards, not to mention WOTC sanctioned events). This place is a one stop shop for everything you need, and if they dont have it they will order it.
They have many customers who are local law enforcement, military and many other public servants. There is no safer place to be. And they go out of their way to make sure no drugs and alcohol enter the premises.
So look, if you are looking for an amazing store that is more interested in your customer experience than the cash in your pocket, come on down to JJ’s Game Lounge. Pull up a seat and roll some dice.

Great new game store in the North valley. They have tons of Warmachine (looks like almost the complete line), tons of Malifaux, and a good amount of infinity and 40k/​WFB. MTG as well, and quite a few board games. That’s just their opening stock. I know they’ve got more coming in the next few weeks.
Very friendly staff. Tons of gaming room which is great. Lots of miniature tournaments and FNM as well (they run drafts all the time too), with great prizes. Great Italian deli next door too if you’re hungry (their meatball and pastrami sandwiches are spectacular), and parking is no problem.
If you’re anywhere near the Valley this is the place to be.
