Funagain Games

Amazing game store. They often have the newest games as well as lots of instant classics. I have a few games on my buy list if I ever see em in person since they aren’t super common and they’ve had 3 of em where I had to pull the trigger. They also have a resale shelf where other people sell used games for usually half off or more and found some crazy good deals there. I believe the owner is awesome too. He’ll talk to you about games you may be interested in or he’ll give suggestions if you know what you’re into but he’s also given me a few freebies when I’ve spent some money there which has been awesome

This is a mid sized board game/rpg store here in Eugene. This review is solely for the retail location, as I haven't used the neighboring community gaming room. They've got a lot of variety, but a recent experience here really soured me on this local business. I had bought some card protectors for $3.50, and realized later they were the incorrect size. I hadn't remembered to get the receipt when I bought them the previous day but I didn't imagine that would be a big issue, the item I was planning on exchanging for was the exact same price and brand just in a slightly different size. In addition to that, the item I was returning was unopened. The cashier refused to consider a simple exchange of an unopened three and a half dollar item without a receipt according to the internal return policy, which I didn't see posted in the store. I like to support small businesses because they treat me like a person, that was not my experience in this store. What's most unfortunate is that I've been shopping here for years but will reconsider that if this is how they've decided to treat people here. Even Wal-Mart is happy to process exchanges without a receipt, I just don't understand why they went this far to deny a routine request that wouldn't have cost them anything. It's a frustrating and unnecessary experience that I would expect from a corporate chain, not a small business.

I try to go every Friday for magic the gathering. It's one of the best shops I've been to for casual commander. Everyone is very welcoming and any play level is accepted. The shop itself is a little small, but still has a good variety of games and supplies. Even some cool niche stuff. And the staff is always very awesome!
