Ezra Yael is the owner and creative heart behind Nerdy Related, a Long Beach trading card and tabletop shop built for collectors, players, families, and anyone looking for a welcoming place to enjoy the games they love.

​

What began as a deep love for trading cards, fantasy worlds, and creative expression grew into a boutique-style game shop centered on community. Ezra created Nerdy Related to be more than just a place to buy cards. It is a space where new players can feel comfortable learning, longtime collectors can find exciting products, and local players can gather for tournaments, casual play, trades, and shared nerdy joy.

​

As a lifelong creative and passionate TCG enthusiast, Ezra brings an eye for design, storytelling, and detail into every part of the shop, from curated product selections to the atmosphere, events, displays, and community experience. Their goal is to make Nerdy Related feel magical, approachable, and a little elevated, while still keeping the fun, nostalgic energy that makes card shops special.

​

Ezra believes that gaming spaces should feel inclusive, respectful, and exciting for everyone, whether you are opening your first booster pack, building your hundredth deck, or just stopping by to see what the community is about.

At its core, Nerdy Related reflects Ezra’s love for fantasy, creativity, and connection: a place where people can play, collect, discover, and feel like they belong.
