Puddletown Games & Puzzles

Super thoughtful game store with something for everyone you know who likes games that are simple to complex, also game tables and big windows for great light. Really cozy and a great place to buy a gift games!!

They have some fantastic jigsaw puzzles and a really good selection of unique boardgames. They also have some RPG's, dice, and MTG (magic the gathering) cards. I think they even have a rental system, but I haven't tried that yet. Well kept, well curated, and helpful staff.

Amazing selection and variety of all types of games. I was most impressed with the fact that they had some games that have been sold out everywhere (ex: “Scout). And the employees are very transparent, honest, knowledgeable, and reliable. They are also not pushy, which is great and encourages me to keep coming back. Great selection of games to play/rent at the shop as well.

The store has a very intentional, curated selection that really makes you forget the footprint of the store. I went with family and we were happily lost in the shelves for hours discovering board games in many genres. I went into maybe buy one board game but instead walked out with several and I don’t regret it!! Miles and Alex were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about board games! I highly recommend Puddletown and hope to come back soon!!

Puddletown is a welcoming space, thoughtfully stocked and laid out. I was shopping for a gift for a child but found myself wanting to buy all the games and puzzles for myself! SO many fun, unique, and creative board games for players of all ages. The owner, Miles, is welcoming and super friendly. And of course he's knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all things board games. They also carry role playing games (a whole wall of D&D books and large jars of dice), gorgeous (and affordable!) puzzles, Pokemon and Magic cards, and plenty of other things you'd want to gather around a table with your family to play. This store is a wonderful addition to the Alameda neighborhood, and the city of Portland (ahem, Puddletown). I'm always happy to support local BIPOC-owned (and Veteran owned!) small businesses, but this place makes it extra easy and enjoyable. I'll definitely be shopping for presents here in the future.
