Games at this shop
Below are the trading card games we've identified as supported at this shop, each with context about how that game plays and what to look for when you visit.
We haven't yet verified the specific trading card games stocked at Game On. Most general-purpose game and hobby shops in the US carry at least one of the major three — Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon TCG, and Yu-Gi-Oh! — plus a rotating selection of whichever newer TCGs have local community traction (Disney Lorcana and One Piece TCG are the most commonly-added in 2026).
If you're planning a visit, call Game On directly to confirm current inventory. A 30-second call saves the trip if the shop doesn't carry what you're looking for. Ask specifically about:
- Sealed product: booster boxes, elite trainer boxes, starter decks, prerelease kits for the current set release window.
- Singles: individually-priced cards sold by set or by Standard/Commander archetype — the fastest way to finish a deck.
- Event schedule: weekly Friday Night Magic, Pokémon League, Yu-Gi-Oh! Locals, or whatever formats are currently running.
- Buylist / trade-in rates: whether the shop buys cards, in what condition, and at what percentage of market value for cash vs. store credit.
Local context
With 70 public reviews, Game On is the kind of shop that survives on its locals. Expect fewer strangers, more first-name staff interactions, and a slower pace than tournament-heavy venues.
Game On occupies a storefront at 1235 Tenth St. Street-level independent shops like this often develop tighter community relationships than chain-plaza counterparts — a signal to look for if you want an LGS that knows its players.
Evening-friendly hours at Game On make this a practical weekday destination for players who don't finish work until 6 or 7pm.
Plan a visit with confidence — the community vetting here is strong. Bring a deck, ask about upcoming events, and expect to leave having met at least one person you might play with again.

Yes — their website is http://gameonberkeley.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=wix_google_business_profile&utm_campaign=6509649819490089016. Most shop websites publish an event calendar, singles inventory search, and buylist rates. Check their site before visiting to confirm details.
Selling through a local shop usually requires an appraisal appointment. Game On likely accepts both cash payouts and store-credit offers, with credit weighted higher. Large collections warrant a scheduled visit; bulk commons are typically weight-priced per pound.
PSA and CGC both allow bulk-submission partnerships with retail shops. If Game On participates, you can skip the mail-in paperwork entirely — drop cards off, pay the fee, and pick up graded slabs 6-12 weeks later.
Dedicated LGS venues keep play tables for sanctioned tournaments (FNM, Pokémon League, Yu-Gi-Oh OTS, Commander nights) plus open drop-in play. Table availability peaks on evenings and weekends.
Family-friendliness is the norm at TCG stores. Pokémon League keeps the environment kid-appropriate, and Junior-division events separate younger competitors for fair matchups.
