Crazy Squirrel Game Store

Crazy Squirrel Game Store is a game shop at 7711 N First St in Fresno, on the southwest corner of First and Nees. It carries Magic: The Gathering singles, tabletop role-playing games, board games and Lego, and it runs a steady mix of Dungeons & Dragons tables, leagues and kids' programs. It suits Magic players who also want a place to play other games, families looking for something for older kids to do, and anyone with used games, Lego or singles to sell.

What's on the shelves

Magic: The Gathering is the store's trading card game, sold as singles and sealed product; recent sealed stock has included an Avatar: The Last Airbender Jumpstart booster box. Not every single is in the online inventory, so more are available in the shop itself. Other card games turn up too, including Riftbound playmats and collectible card packs.

Beyond cards, the shelves are broad. Role-playing stock includes the Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Player's Handbook, Daggerheart, Eberron books, dice and plush charms. Board games include Catan, Flamecraft and Hot Streak. Supplies run from standard card sleeves and BCW card frames to deck cases, playmats, paint and notebooks. Lego has its own section.

Buying and selling

The store buys pre-loved games, Lego and collectible card game singles. Lego is bought mainly in bulk, and used or still-in-box sets are not taken from the general public. Bulk bricks are bought by weight at $2 to $6 a pound depending on quality and cleanliness, and bulk minifigs at $1 a pound. In-store credit is worth 20% more than the cash value.

Events and play

The store runs Dungeons & Dragons come-and-play tables on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with the Friday table at $10. Leagues have included Star Wars: Unlimited leagues at $25 each and a Warhammer 40K Escalation League for fall 2026 at $40. Magic prerelease events for the Star Trek set start at $40.

The store also runs a few events beyond the weekly tables:

• Kids D&D Adventure Week: For ages 11 to 16, running 10 AM to 5 PM, with a week in June (22 to 26) and another in July (20 to 24), 2026. Each day pairs a few hours of Dungeons & Dragons with painting, crafting and learning. The cost is $500 per week, payment is due at reservation, and cancellations by June 10 are refunded minus processing fees. Each child gets a $3 concession card daily; lunch is not provided.
• Private parties: A private room seats 8 and comes with a game guide for 4 hours, for a $200 base fee plus a $50 cleaning deposit. A gaming theme is an extra $100; the Magic and Pokémon theme includes 36 packs, enough for a draft tournament. Cancellations 24 hours ahead get a 75% refund, and a legal guardian must be present if any guest is under 16.
• Fall Craft Fair: The store's third annual craft fair runs Saturday, October 17 and Sunday, October 18. It is open Saturday from 11:30 AM to 4 PM, with vendor tables at $50 each, about 8 feet, indoors, with a table and two chairs per vendor.
