DUEL & DICE
New to trading cards? You are in the right place.
Trading card games are what we do. We sell the cards, host the events, and help people who are just starting out figure out where to jump in. No experience needed. No pressure to buy anything.
Just walk in.
This is the fastest way. You do not need to know anything about card games to come in the door.
Walk in during store hours. Say "I do not really know what any of this is." Someone will show you around, explain what people are playing, and answer questions. You will not be pressured to buy anything.
Store hours
Friday: 5:30 - 8:30 PM
Saturday: 2:00 - 8:30 PM
Sunday: 2:00 - 6:00 PM
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday: Closed
Come to an event.
The easiest way to see what a card game night is actually like is to show up and watch.
Every event on our calendar is open to spectators. Bring nothing. Sit down at a table. Watch what happens. Ask people what they are playing. Nobody will care that you are new. Leave whenever you want.
Start online.
If you want to poke around before you show up, browse the games we carry and pick one that looks interesting.
Each game has a different starting product. The game pages below have the current best entry point for each one. If it is not obvious what to grab, message us or come in and we will pick something with you.
What people usually start with.
There is no wrong answer. Pick the one that looks fun and try it.
Common questions.
I have literally never played a card game. Is that ok?
Yes. This is the most common way people start. Just come in and say so.
Do I have to buy anything to come in?
No. You can walk around, watch events, ask questions, and leave without buying anything. That is normal here.
My kid wants Pokemon but I do not know where to start.
Bring them in. We will help you pick a starter deck or a small pack budget. Pokemon is designed to be easy for kids to get into. Regulars will teach them, and the events are family-friendly.
I have a rough budget. What do you recommend?
Tell us the budget when you come in. Every game has different entry points, and we will build a starting point around whatever you want to spend. There is no "you must spend this much" floor.
I played Magic (or Pokemon) years ago. Can I just come back?
Yes. A lot of people are in the same spot. Come in during hours and we will catch you up on what has changed and what is worth getting back into.
What is the shop actually like?
Small, local, community-run. Regulars know each other. Staff plays the games. Events are welcoming, not competitive-first. Nobody is going to gatekeep you.
Still not sure?
Text or call us at (810) 295-1583, or just show up during hours. We would rather answer a "dumb" question than have someone bounce off the hobby before they start.
Other newcomers and families who walked in.
A few from our Google reviews.
Stopped in with one of the kids. Very respectful and generous with the kids. Can't wait to go back, with the other kids.
It is nice to have a Pokemon store next to me. They do Pokemon battles for fun on Sundays.
Tyler the owner is extremely friendly and easy to talk to.
Tyler and his family are extremely welcoming.
