I read on OgreCave that there was a collectible card game based on the excellent "Game of Thrones" series of books by George RR Martin. Not only that, but the game won the Origin award for best CCG of the year. So I set about calling game stores in my area to find a starter card deck so I could give it a whirl. I called from San Rafael to Palo Alto, with Berkeley and Oakland in between, to no avail. The Ogre Cave editors, kind fellows and East Bay residents themselves, recommended I look for "It's Your Move," a game store that just opened up in June, at Telegraph and 51st street in Oakland. I couldn't find them searching the web.
The Ogre Cavers lead me to visit "It's Your Move" in person - next to the Temescal Cafe, I found a very pleasant young games store, with eager, knowledgable proprietors. Their most popular items are the German board games (like Settlers or Puerto Rico), but they also stock role-playing games, collectible card games, dice, minatures, the Wiz-Kid adventure figurines. Geek heaven. And they run open role-playing sessions a few nights a week, so you can drop on and get your geek fix.
They had my cards, I was happy. But they still don't turn up in Google, so I'm going to link to their web page here, and hope that future game store hunters in the East Bay can find this useful outpost: http://www.itsyourmovegames.com/

I came across your blog entry by searching for the It's Your Move website, and since you've got a semi-role-playing post, I thought I'd post about another site.
I run Critical Hit -- a free Bay Area Dungeons & Dragons resource. (Hey, I also live in the East Bay.) The site is located at http://www.cilibrin.net/rolldice
Tried to email you instead of posting, Justin, as I don't want to offend with my little ad. If I've crossed the boundaries of proper website ethics, please delete my post. If not, thanks for letting me post here. Either way, thanks for your blog.
Cheers,
David
