Red Castle Games is a local game store in SE Portland specializing in board games, card games, role-playing games, and tabletop miniatures games. It has a great, welcoming vibe with friendly staff and is noted as being particularly welcoming for parents with small children. The store offers a large selection of games to rent and buy, with many tables for in-store play. Food and drinks, including beer, snacks, and items like chicken wraps, tots, and falafel, are highly praised. The store hosts fun events, including commander nights.
However, some prices are considered high, with sealed trading card products and singles often priced above other local stores. A $6 entry fee for commander nights, which covers raffles for old promo swag, is a point of contention. Despite this, there is consistently a good group of players for events, and the staff are very welcoming and go above and beyond for customers. The space is clean with good lighting and abundant seating. Overall, it is described as a phenomenal and great place to play games.
Clean, bright charming game store. A modest collection of used boardgames and minimal mark up on M:tg commander decks. Definitely worth dropping in to browse. Look for parking in the neighborhood to the SW.
