We randomly attended "The Creator & Artisan Showcase &…read moreMarketplace Extravaganza" on Dec. 9th after a kind of pathetic internet search for Anything to do for the weekend I could take my fifteen year old along for, and we all LOVED IT. There's not a lot to do that isn't a bar in... Western Oregon honestly, and Conundrum House is solving it. For insanely reasonable prices (that lower even further with membership) you can rent table space for RPGs, gaming time on video games, attend costume events, themed tea parties (with incredible gnosh), enjoy interactive murder mysteries and far more than I'm going to take time to list here. All in a beautiful building full of art and whimsy run by incredible, enthusiastic people. They support local artists, writers, game creators and creatives of all sorts in a way you don't often see in this area. So comfortable it's a bit like going home, and every inch of it was made with the intent to build fun artistic and creative community upward. The owners are amiable, chatty, and proud of what they've accomplished, and they should be. Need something to do outside of the same old drudgery? Get here! Check it out, inquire within, look them up, they deserve the community's support. They opened six months before Covid and managed to survive it, if that doesn't scream worthy business, I don't know what does. It's nested on the second floor so pay attention to the sandwich board on the sidewalk, it's totally worth a short trip up the stairs. I recommend checking this out heavily. Perhaps the most check-outtable place I've ever reviewed. We will definitely return.

I'm so happy this place exists in Corvallis! It's the perfect place to get your geek on with a few…read morefriends. They have a very up to date and comprehensive collection of modern board games in their library to play (think Catan, Azul, and Ticket to Ride). The beer, cider, and wine options are good, but only in cans (Block 15, Two Towns, etc). The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. And the snacks are reasonable and practical as well. They have full bags of popcorn, pretzels, etc (like grocery store sized) so you can buy one and share. It's also open late enough to have time to get a game or two in. The daily fee is just $5 / person to play and gain use of the massive library. If you are new to town or just on your own, they have movies playing and a large selection of graphic novels to check out. They also host "Learn to Play" nights where you can learn a new game at meet other people. The owners are super nice and are always willing to help with rules for games and picking out games to play. Note: There is a membership fee that is waived if you are a student or if you are sponsored by a member. My advice is definitely go with a member and get sponsored to get that membership fee waived. Lastly, the games for purchase are more reasonable than most Local Friendly Game Stores and they have a surprisingly good selection given their small space. Overall, Gamagora is a great option for some evening entertainment and doing something different on a date night. I have had nothing but great experiences there and will definitely be going back regularly!

I couldn't find them anywhere else in town except BiMart, which only had 1 type. The price was essentially the same as BiMart, with a much better selection. Given the choice to spend my money at a small locally owned business, I'll choose the small business every time.

Right next door to other shops and plenty of parking, the store has a large selection of anything you want for a game night of any kind, from casual games to gateway games to the longer games which will take several hours. Prices are on the pricey side, but it's nothing quite like walking into a store and walking out with a great game.

Game store in Eugene specializing in tabletop games and things like Magic/Pokémon cards. I've been…read morehere a few times when I was home; once upon a time there was a woman organizing a ladies game night and I went to it a few times, lots of fun. They have several tables set up in the back for folks to play games from the store's collection, or you can bring your own and play. They do have a good store collection if you're looking for something to try, or you can buy something off the shelf and give it a whirl! I was here once with someone who was looking for some novelty version of a Catan or something and the guy seemed a little snooty about it... or maybe it was Tixket to Ride? Anyway it might not be a game he plays but he works in a game shop so it would make sense to know about upcoming releases, and not say that it's not something he's interested in so he doesn't know. Board gamers can be snobby, but TTR is good and though it's not my #1 fave (that's Grand Austria Hotel), it's fun. They do have a really good selection of games here; I picked up my copy of Splendor here, as well as the Lanterns: The Emperor's Gifts expansion, and they have many of the standards like Brass, Catan, Carcassone, Dixit, and so on. I think but don't know if they buy used games, so give them a call if you have them. This store is actually the small one from my understanding. Their flagship is in Medford, which I haven't been to, but I think that's also where their distribution arm is as well. I have Kickstarted a LOT of games and it's always cool to see it's coming from Funagain; feels like supporting a hometown/near hometown business. Parking can be difficult here depending upon the time of day, events happening at the store, and events happening in the neighborhood. Luckily the LTD station isn't too far away so that is a solid transportation alternative.

Board games, on the other hand...there are now better stores in the area. Matt's has the distinction that they'll take just about anything for store credit. Used to be that they would take things for cash, but that isn't the case anymore. Would be great if they had a better selection of board games, but they've had the same titles on their shelves for close to a decade, and they have done very little to move them off their shelves. The deals they have on used games are great, but again, the selection is limited. Worth a look if you want to get something on the cheap, but don't expect the latest and greatest very often.
