Hardy Court's evening-hours game shop, where Magic and Pokemon singles share the room with Warhammer 40K tables and weekend tournaments.
Panda's Pair O Dice has been running out of the Hardy Court Shopping Center since 2018, and it operates on a gamer's clock rather than a retailer's. Doors open at 3PM most days, which means the shop is built around after-school and after-work traffic. Tuesday it does not open at all. Saturday and Sunday start at noon and run late — Saturday to 10PM, Sunday to 9PM — and those are the days the play space actually fills.
The product mix is broader than most Gulfport card shops. Magic: The Gathering and Pokemon anchor the singles, with Yu-Gi-Oh! and One Piece stocked alongside them, and then the room widens into Warhammer 40K, Dungeons & Dragons and conventional board games. Reviewers repeatedly mention plenty of stock and singles, which is the phrase you want to hear before driving in from Biloxi or Long Beach.
With 4.8 stars across 182 Google reviews it is among the strongest-reviewed shops on the Coast, and the recurring theme is the community rather than the shelves — card tournaments and trivia nights keep the same faces coming back, and newcomers report being folded in quickly. The owner is a visible presence behind the counter. A minority of reviews push back on pricing during hyped releases, which is a fair thing to check before you buy sealed.
Hardy Court is a mid-century strip center off Pass Road with a large shared lot, so parking is never the issue. The store entrance is street level and the play tables sit toward the rear, separated enough from the retail floor that browsing during an event is not awkward.
If you are planning a first visit, aim for a Saturday afternoon: the full inventory is out, the tables are active, and there is time before close to actually play something.
