Dogs of War Gaming

A Clearmont Street hangout in Palm Bay for Magic and Pokemon singles, backed by a Warhammer-scale miniatures wall that rivals a GW store.

Set back in a small industrial-style strip on Clearmont Street NE, Dogs of War Gaming is easy to drive past and hard to forget once you've found it. The Palm Bay card shop shares its floor space with a genuinely large tabletop wargaming operation - Warhammer, Flames of War, and CMON miniatures lines fill enough shelf space that regulars compare the selection to an official Games Workshop store, which makes it an unusual but welcome stop for anyone searching for trading cards Palm Bay shoppers might not expect to find next to a wall of paint pots.

The card side covers Magic: The Gathering and Pokemon singles and sealed product, with Disney Lorcana rounding out the case. Owner Jesus and staff run the shop as much as a gathering spot as a retail counter, and reviewers consistently single out how approachable the crew is with people who've never played before - a detail that matters more than inventory size when you're trying a new format for the first time.

The in-store play space hosts regular tournament nights for both the card game and miniatures crowd, and while one review noted the seating area could use a refresh, nobody disputes that it gets used - casual and competitive players alike treat it as a standing weekly destination rather than an occasional stop.

Hours run 1pm to 8pm Monday through Friday, noon to 8pm Saturday, and noon to 5pm Sunday, giving after-school and after-work players a consistent window. The Clearmont Street address sits just off Palm Bay Road, a few minutes from the Babcock Street corridor.

Anyone building a Magic or Pokemon collection in Palm Bay - or just looking for a card shop with an actual community around it - will find Dogs of War Gaming worth the search.
