TLDR: One of the best card stores in Tacoma, and I suspect the greater Puget Sound - best prices, best staff, and a great scene for Pokemon/MtG. Disclaimer - The contents of this review will be constrained to the gaming/TCG side of the storefront since I have no experience with the sportscard part of the store. Prices - The store has some of the fairest and most reasonable prices for product in the area - I have not found a better value for buying sealed product for Pokemon or Magic the Gathering in the area. They don't upcharge, and their prices often reflect the lower part of the current market. They have good inventory, and oftentimes even for in-demand sets, they'll receive enough product for you to have access to packs. There is no other way to say it: at least for TCGs and as of this writing (and the past two years I have been coming here) the prices here are best among LGS's. Environment & Games - The store is bifurcated - with the entrance opening into a large sportscards and sports memorabilia section. I don't have much experience with the sportscards side, but my friends who do enjoy it and have pulled some big hits here. The back side of the store is recently renovated, clean and well-laid out with gaming products (Pokemon, YuGiOh, MtG, Star Wars, One Piece, etc.) The store has a few boxes of cheap MtG singles at any given time as well as a few labeled and stickered high-price singles. Where it shines for MtG is that they have very good access and fair prices for MtG sealed product. The store really shines in Pokemon - it has a very active Pokemon League with people of all ages in a very family friendly environment. The store stocks meta-relevant singles, singles binders, slabs, and a lot of Pokemon sealed product. There is a robust trading scene and a growing tournament scene led by the Pokemon Professor on staff (more on staff below). The store has other game product too, and I regularly see folks playing Lorcana, Star Wars Unlimited, and occasionally YuGiOh as well (though Pokemon seems to be dominant.) There is not much of a Commander/MtG playing scene, but in my opinion the store remaisn the best place to buy MtG product. Staff - This comes last because it deserves the most attention. The staff here are all excellent human beings - and whatever management and ownership are doing to keep these folks at the store should continue. Special shoutout to Ian, Jordan & Steven. The staff here look out for the kids during Pokemon League, form personal connections with the regulars, and are always fair. They're genuinely great people - and I find myself popping into the store sometimes just to say hi to them. Great store, great staff, great prices - support this store, they deserve your patronage!
Not Just Gaming is hands-down one of the best local game stores I’ve ever been to. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted like an old friend—whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth. The staff are genuinely passionate about games and go out of their way to make sure everyone feels included, whether you're a seasoned player or just getting started. What really sets them apart is how much they do for the local gaming community. They host regular events, tournaments, and casual nights that bring people together in the best way. You can tell they care deeply about creating a space where everyone can connect, play, and have fun. They’re not just running a store—they’re building a community. If you’re into tabletop games, card games, or just want a friendly place to hang out and learn something new, Not Just Gaming is the place to be. Highly recommend!

We LOVE this store so much. My husband got into Pokemon while taking care of his mom in Canada, and when he got back to Florida he was struggling to find a store that felt like a community. The moment he found Numiru he knew his search was over! Nolan and Krystal are THE BEST. They are kind and easy to talk to. I'm not really into card games, but I love board games and they never make me feel anything but part of the group - even though I don't know as much about cars games. I also love that they have board games here for us to try out! We have found some new faves that we have added to our collection!We've also become friends with other people who shop here. A week hardly feels. Complete without a trip to Numiru!
Pretty good looking place, but I can't find it in my heart to rate it anything above a 2 due to the insane prices that are listed. Me and my boyfriend went there to look for Pokemon singles to add to our collection, and all of the cards that we were interested in were easily double and triple the market price. The elite trainer boxes were also almost 50% more than market price. I understand trying to gain a profit but this is just an insane scalping price. I don't know how the fair the other products are but I would avoid buying stuff from here. The atmosphere seems nice however, they seem to welcome people playing the games and host events, if I was one of the people that plays the card or tabletop games then I would likely come here to play.
