Here’s what people are saying about Gamelandia:
“We *love* this store. It's amazing in so many ways. Great selection of games. Super friendly and helpful staff (they've suggested new games to us, which have gone on to become family favorites!). And the games rooms are a great gathering place for friends and groups! The game rooms are beautifully decorated, have free tea and drinks, and the staff will provide personalized recommendations from their game library. My son and his friend had *so much fun* here on a rainy Sunday morning. We can't wait to go back! Truly a gem in Palo Alto.” ~ Helene Grossman
“Great staff, super nice, organized space and really cool game rooms where you can play with your friends. We got a room for 6 people for around $10/person for 2 hours. Owners are really nice. There is free hot chocolate and tea if you want. We played Catan and Sequence and chatted with the owners. Fun place to spend time with friends and play your favorite board games. They have it all!” ~ Nijat Behbudov
“Easily the best game store in the Bay Area!” ~ Lucy Wang
