It's got the main things you need, as well as the little electronics parts that you might need a few of if you're building something on your own. The problem is that with the size of the store, you're not going to be able to find some slightly more complex items. For example, I stopped in the other day to see if they had a power supply. The one on my wife's computer went out, and I needed a new one. Unfortunately, they didn't have it. A few days ago, I went in looking for a battery backup for a different computer. They had one in the store, but only one model, and not the one I was looking for. I mean, if you need an ethernet cable or something common like that, you're good to go here. Otherwise, you're better off shopping at Newegg.

I came in looking for a memory card reader. The salesperson asked me if I needed help, and she…read morepointed me to the correct selection. They had several memory card readers for sale, and they had the features I needed. The one I picked was $18, which I thought was pricey since you can buy these things in China for less than a dollar. Still, I saved money from competing stores. My dad purchased the reader for me. Unfortunately, the salesperson tried to cross-sell him batteries, a warranty, and a new cell phone. It felt excessive for a simple purchase. Beware commissions.

Spokane is a funny place for board gamers. Board game cafes are heavy on the "cafe" and light on…read morethe "board game." Game shops seem to either have no space to play a game or they have lots of space with no clear instructions on when/how the space can/should be used and by whom. And all of the shops we visited while in town were struggling with identity crisis. As for Uncles: Good: Board game selection is better than the other shops we visited in town Bummer: Not a cafe and no obvious place to play a game, so likely intended as strictly retail rather than a gaming space. (No harm no foul...just offering an observation for the advantage of others) Bad: Nobody offered to help (employees stayed behind the counter while we were there). Odd: Organization/layout and display shelves were a challenge. Some areas were clearly organized and others less so. Just when I started to think I was understanding the organizational scheme, I'd find a game that obviously belonged with a group of others on the other side of the store. Just my opinion, but there is enough selection here that an alphabetical layout scheme would probably make sense. Suggestion: Pick an identity: Toy store or game shop? Gone are the days of the bizarrely mixed toy department in the basement of the local sporting goods store. Board games have moved beyond classification as "toys" and into the realm of being a true hobby all its own. If Uncles decides to focus up as a game store, consider dumping the little kid toys and leaning heavier into collectibles loved by most gamers (e.g. Funko, Iron Studios, Superhero/Fantasy/Sci-Fi stuff, etc.) Parking: rough. (Seemed as though downtown paid street parking was the only option.) Pricing is pretty standard for brick and mortar...a touch higher than you can find online in most cases. (I call it the "Instant Gratification Tax.") At the end of the day, I came away feeling as though the shop might be run by a pair of contentious siblings...one who loves modern board games and the other who is convinced that kid's toys are the way to go. Combining them in this small a space was OK in the '80s but now is just confusing for both groups.

What an absolutely awesome store!…read more I don't think I can say enough how much I love uncle's games. This is one of those great stores that I just root for and I hope that it's here forever and ever. They have a great selection of board games, puzzles, card games, and tabletop RPG games like dungeons & dragons in Warhammer. The staff is super friendly and super helpful, with a bunch of great recommendations (I'm a huge board game nerd and I do this thing where I test people by asking them about games that I've already played) and these guys were absolutely great. They also have a gaming area in the back of the store, I don't know what the rules are but I'm sure that you could go in and bring your game in and play. They also have a used game section, which is such a great idea. Some board games are so expensive and you don't know whether or not you're going to like them, but if they have them in the used games section at uncle's games it's going to be less than half of what you would pay if it was brand new. I did ask and they said all the games have been tested and they make sure that they have all the pieces. I absolutely love this store, I will definitely be back time and time again.
