Uncle’s Games

Great selection of games and high quality chess sets. You can pick up munchkin, apples to apples and so much more good stuff. Right next to aunties bookstore. Possibly my favorite block in Spokane. Awesome place to shop!

What a fun store– Especially if you are a Catan fan. They hosted a fantastic fun tournament and everyone had a great time this past spring. They have games there that you would not find in most stores and if you want to play them can link up with others. The clerks are friendly and like to game themselves.

UPDATE — James from Uncle’s reached out to me regarding my experience with inflated pricing, and offered to refund the difference between what we paid and MSRP. He said that «A little while back we had someone who was trying to make us „more profitable“ by changing prices to above MSRP», which was against their business practices. He also said that they had fixed the pricing on most items, but that they must have missed one. I am willing to accept this at face value, and am raising my rating to 4 stars, since generally speaking I like this shop and have patronized it without issue in the past.

Found the LOTR card game we were looking for. Very helpful and enthusiastic staff. Cool store.

Neat game shop located under Auntie’s Bookstore. What more can I say? Easy to get to and a good variety.

This store has an amazing selection, and the staff was really helpful and didn’t make me feel stupid as a non-​gamer in asking questions.

This is such a great area for gift shopping for yourself and others. Uncle’s carries unusual and interesting games, most of which I have neither seen or played before. I recently scored a nice deck of Monty Python Flux there. The game possibilities are endless if you have a lot of money to spend. They are not cheap but the folks working there are plenty nice and helpful. Besides, what else are you going to do in Spokane? Stock up for those long snow days!

Beautiful store, incredible selection, and super-​friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff! Go to just to see the dice they have! But leave yourself time for the rest of the store, you’ll need it! Beautiful puzzles, Pokemon Cards, MTG, Children’s puzzles, so much cool stuff! The staff will help you find just the right thing for you, and any gift needs you may have! If you don’t know what you’re looking for, that’s okay, they will help you! Do yourself a favor and stop by yourself! Be sure to check out their online event calendar as well!

This place rocks! They really fit a lot of diversions into a small space. My favorite part are the game tables where you can test out new games and sit and play! Uncle’s is a great spot to pick up a quirky gift or to kill time playing games.

As the only dedicated board game shop in Spokane (as far as I know) I want to like this place. Compared to Seattle though, this place is paltry. Part of the meager offerings stems from their diversity. As Alyssa mentioned, they use space to carry classic America board games, puzzles, etc. If that is what you are in to, more power to you. But I want the German/​Euro style board games. Sure they have Ticket to Ride and Settlers and a few others, but there are so many more out there! It is really frustrating that there is nowhere in Spokane to get them. To be fair, the Uncle’s at the Valley mall is a bit larger and has a better selection, but even then it is small compared to the stores in Seattle (which, BTW, aren’t big, they just don’t waste space on puzzles and monopoly). I really feel like there are other places to get puzzles and monopoly and would love to see Uncle’s pull away from this merchandise.
You might be thinking that I should stop complaining and just buy games online. It isn’t the same. True board game stores often host game nights where you can come and play store copies (or games other people bring) and try them out before you throw down all that cash (Euro games ain’t cheap). Sometimes an employee will just start playing a game with you even if it isn’t a game night. That is a unique service that no one in Spokane offers yet. The Comic Book Shop in North Town has the potential, but they aren’t really striving for it.

Great store with good selection. Very friendly and helpful staff. Bought several games today. I am sure we will stop here again on our next trip through Spokane.

I love this game store. It’s tucked in right next to Auntie’s bookstore in the heart of downtown Spokane and is packed to the gills with fabulous puzzles, board games, and so much more.
They have a whole wall of interesting and well priced puzzles. There are aisles of games ranging from the traditional and well-​loved classics (Dominoes, Sorry, Monopoly) to the more unique and strategy and adventure games (Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, Dixit).
