Games of Fremont

A Fremont Hub late-nighter where Magic, Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh players trade singles and battle at the tables, with Warhammer paints stocked in the back.

Tucked into the Fremont Hub shopping center, Games of Fremont is a community-first game store that keeps the lights on later than most. The shop carries the big three trading card games, Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh, in singles, packs, and sealed product, and rounds it out with a miniatures corner stocked with Warhammer 40K, Star Wars: Shatterpoint, and the paints to finish them.

The owners lean into events. A rotating calendar runs casual game nights, learn-to-play sessions, tournaments, and hobby hangouts, so the play tables are rarely empty. It is the kind of trading cards Fremont spot where a newcomer can show up for a learn-to-play and leave with a starter deck and a few new opponents.

Buying and selling is a core part of the counter. Games of Fremont buys cards across the major TCGs at posted rates, store credit running higher than cash, which makes it a practical place to turn a dormant collection into something new. The singles cases reward a slow look, and staff are quick to point you toward what is in stock.

Hours are generous: noon to 10pm Monday through Thursday, midnight closes on Friday and Saturday, and 11am to 9pm on Sunday. Weekend evenings are the social peak, while weekday afternoons are better for unhurried shopping or selling. Regulars describe a welcoming owner and a low-pressure vibe, with pricing that lands around the local average.

Between the deep TCG selection, the miniatures hobby supplies, and a steady event schedule, this Fremont card shop has carved out a friendly niche in the Hub. Parking is plentiful in the center lot, and the central location makes it an easy stop before or after a meal nearby.
