"Games of Berkeley has been welcoming people of all persuasions through its doors since 1980. Founded by board game enthusiast Don Reents, the store changed hands multiple times until 2013 when current owner Erik Bigglestone bought the business from his mother and stepfather."
"The shop sits among the budget-friendly eateries on bustling Durant Avenue, just a block south of the UC Berkeley campus. Housed in the former Tower Records storefront, it's an open, almost cavernous space, a welcome departure from the dusty overstuffed hidey hole traditionally associated with game shops."
"Having been around for almost 50 years, Games of Berkeley has borne witness to just about every gaming trend under the sun. In the store's early days, the public was clamoring for Rubik's Cube, the color-coded puzzle cube that blew minds in the 80s."
