Funagain Games

Funagain Games is a board and card game store at 149 E Main St in Ashland, Oregon, serving the Rogue Valley since 1996. It is a store for people who play at the table as much as people who buy: a wide stock of games for kids, for adults and for big groups, plus a library of games that can be played in the shop. It suits families, casual players and anyone who wants to try a game before committing to it.

What's on the shelves

The store sells board games and card games, with thousands of titles in stock. The range is built to cover every kind of player, from games aimed at kids to games for adults to games that work for large groups. New products arrive on a regular basis.

Try before you buy

The in-store game library is the store's most distinctive feature. Customers can pull games from the library and play them on the premises for a table fee of $2 per person for the day. That makes the shop a place to spend an afternoon with a group, not just a place to pick up a box. It is also a practical way to test a game before buying a copy off the shelf.

Events

Something is scheduled at the shop every day of the week, so there is usually a reason to stop in whichever day suits you. Each day's event has its own details on a weekly calendar the store keeps.

Hours and getting there

The store is open seven days a week, with longer hours Tuesday through Saturday.

The shop is on East Main Street in Ashland, in Oregon's Rogue Valley.

History

Funagain Games opened in 1996 and has been selling games to the Rogue Valley ever since, which makes it one of the longer-running game shops in the region.
