One for All Games

Evening-hours TCG shop on Sheridan Road where Peoria players gather for open play, sharp singles pricing, and owner Alex's famously hot box breaks.

One for All Games runs on a schedule built for players, not mall foot traffic. The Sheridan Road shop opens at 5PM on weekdays and noon on Friday through Sunday, which tells you exactly what it is: a gathering spot for Peoria's TCG community that happens to sell cards, rather than the other way around.

Owner Alex is the through-line in nearly every review. Regulars talk about his product knowledge, his recommendations for new players, and — half-jokingly — his "hot hands" on pack openings, with customers posting pulls from boxes bought at the counter. That kind of word-of-mouth is why a shop with barely 50 Google reviews sits at 4.8 stars, one of the highest marks of any card shop in Peoria.

The floor is clean and organized, with sealed product and singles across the major games plus a dedicated play area that reviewers single out as one of the best setups in the area. Open play and community nights fill the tables most evenings, and the shop's crew is a familiar presence at central Illinois card shows, so inventory reflects what's actually moving in the hobby rather than whatever distributors are pushing.

Pricing earns specific praise — more than one regular calls it the best-priced shop around. For collectors hunting trading cards in Peoria after work, the evening hours are a quiet superpower: when most shops in town have flipped the closed sign, One for All is just getting started. Swing by on a weekend afternoon for the fullest tables and the best browse.
