Uncle’s Games

Parking: free, big parking lot. I parking near Claim Jumpers and walk over.
Location: in the mall, 1^st floor, near Gene Juarez hair salon and the escalators.
Tip: come on a day and time when the restaurant upstairs has happy hour and have games and dinner for a great date.
Tip 2, I think they have games you can play to test and see if you like it.
Store: selection of games is massive. The store has tables in the back and a calendar of events nightly to draw gamers in the play all genres.
Big Magic The Gathering store. No war hammer tables (go to mox boarding house for that)

Uncle’s is a pretty great gaming shop. It’s one of the few places in Redmond Town Center that I actually WANT to go to these days. Their selection of board games is fantastic and their stock of card games is well above average. I tend to come here to pick up supplies (dice, sleeves, etc) more often than not because it’s right by my job. The staff here is great. I’ve never encountered anyone behind the counter that isn’t in tune with the gaming or nerd culture, so it’s nice to be able to talk to people who actually know the products they sell.
On the downside, tournaments here can be a pain. Space is somewhat limited so whenever a tournament reaches capacity you’re usually sitting shoulder to shoulder with other people. Not the best of circumstances, but there are much worse places to play in the area.
Prices are a tad bit higher than normal, but that’s to be expected on the East side and Seattle. Location is pretty good, love being a quick walk away from real food and not forced to eat junk food that most gaming stores offer if I get hungry while at a tournament or event.

Came here thru an invite from my friend to play board games. They have a whole wall full of games that you can borrow to play. They also have several tables for you to sit at and play games. There’s a huge variety of games to purchase. On Friday nights, they host free late night gaming sessions from 5 pm-​12 am, which is pretty awesome. They also host Magic & Pokemon and other game nights during the week. The staff was really nice and friendly. It’s a nice place to hang out and relax and play board games.

An awesome game store. You don’t see games stores like this everywhere. Next time I am in Redmond I will return to Uncle’s Games.

This uncles location is great! I used to come here back in high school to buy booster decks and mech warrior pieces. My friends recently dragged me with them to play magic and this store was a wave of nostalgia for me. It honestly looks the same as it first opened! The staff are very friendly and there are plenty of tables to play some magic or any other tabletop game. Also there is a whole wall of free to play games! One thing I have noticed is they have a small fridge where you can get drinks if you like. Drop by check out the games and enjoy yourself.

The staff at this store is friendly, allowing my boyfriend and I to try demo games before purchasing. We enjoy browsing and the atmosphere is conducive for gaming.

Friendly, helpful staff — and lots of puzzles and games. We probably go there too much, but this is the best place to buy games on the East side, in my opinion! :)

Along with a great selection of games and puzzles, the staff here is super nice. My son recently has gotten into Pokémon so we have been attending the Tuesday night league and everyone working has been very patient and wonderfully helpful.

Let’s get this out of the way now. I don’t consider myself a Seattle elitist but I immensely dislike heading eastside unless absolutely necessary. There are a handful of places that I’ll traverse the water for but for the most part, traffic and tolls makes me less likely to be excited for a Redmond excursion.
And I might still be bitter that my car was vandalised when we first moved here during a shopping trip to the Container Store. Not the Audis or Volvos or BMWs, it was my lovely little xB that got keyed. But I’m getting off-​topic, onto my review :)
We were in the area killing time before a dinner date with friends. I knew about Uncle’s Games because I had seen it once while driving through the area. My husband hopped out of the car and ran in, liking it so much that we ended up going to the shop AFTER our dinner finished!
The store was well maintained with lots of stock and friendly staff. The store was also very well-​lit, almost painfully so. I don’t know if that had to do with the MtG night that was happening. The store was packed and a little louder than I imagined it usually was. That said, the players weren’t rude or crabby when I asked to pass or move around them.
My overall experience was so good that I found myself wishing Uncle’s had a westside presence. I have much love for Card Kingdom but competition is a good thing and it would be nice to have two places to peruse.

I think everybody has pointed out many great reasons to attend game nights or events at Uncle’s (including their discounts on game nights!). I personally switched to shopping here instead of another local game store because Uncle’s honors pre-​orders and never try to price-​gouge or otherwise add unexpected mark-​up to your purchases.
It’s an honest and excellent game store and I’m happy when I shop there.

Great place to play Magic (aside from some other players)…
We play Magic (FNM/​Drafts/​Etc) at stores all over the Puget Sound. Uncle’s is great with a friendly staff, the best judge ever (more below), a wide assortment of cards available for sale and a comfortable place to play. More below on who you are playing against.
BEST MAGIC JUDGE EVER: James is the best judge ever to run MTG events. He has an expert knowledge of Magic, explains the rules clearly, runs events very well. If there were a MTG Judges Hall of Fame like the MTG Players Hall of Fame, James would be in it…
BE WARNED: Some of the folks who play Magic here are annoying to play against (arrogant, unhelpful and way too serious) compared to other places. It is sort of like playing in a PTQ all the time.

My family and I love this store. We’ve been coming here for years, for purchases large and small. There’s a huge selection of jigsaw puzzles and board games, and toys and games of all sorts. I like how you can come here and just get some dice if needed; there’s never any pressure to buy anything, nor evil looks for just browsing for awhile. In fact, the sales help here have always been super nice and quite knowledgeable, whenever I’ve inquired about getting kids’ gifts, or how certain toys or games worked. In fact, I’ve even asked the staff here about some games that my own kids received as gifts, not quite understanding the directions. They’ve always taken the time to explain to me and/​or my kids how the games or toys work.

Uncle’s is one of the best game shops I have been to in the country. While the selection of RPGs, war games and miniatures (we do have a Games Workshop here, though!) is a bit sparse, I don’t think anything else is missing. They also stock some pretty esoteric stuff in the back where only the true geeks dare tread, as it should be. I’ve even seen a few specialty titles on the shelf that I’d normally only see at a con; it’s great to see a local, independent shop supporting indie publishers.
Count on spending at least an hour here, more if you ask to try out a game or two!

This is the such an incredible game store. Games, puzzles, cards, dice, MTG, too much to describe! Awesome selections, super-​friendly, helpful and smart employees! Find all of your favorite games, and learn about new ones! The staff of Uncle’s Games in every one of their locations will help you find exactly the right selection, whether it’s a gift for someone else, or something you need. Like dice? Huge selection of the coolest dice you’ve ever seen! Just do yourself a favor, stop in and treat yourself to a good time!

Out of all the stores that specialize in games of all types, shapes and sizes, Uncles Games definitely takes the cake! You can get lost in a store like this. So many games! How do you know which one to choose?
I will be back in the near future to fulfill my need for a new, fun filled game to try out with friends!

This is the motherland of all things games. Located in Redmond Town Center. Unlike other places like this, when you walk in there is always someone happy to help and direct you around and help you find exactly what you are looking for.
Not the cheapest place, but their only real competitor is like
which is always cheaper. But I usually would rather buy my game right then and there than order online :)
Hard to find games, check! Euro games, check! Ginormous selection, check! Great customer service, check!

THEY HAVE MASS EFFECT PLAYING CARDS HERE.
Yes this is a cute game store out in Redmond Town Center. My friends and I came over here to kill some time before watching a movie. The store has this great policy where if you buy a game and play it at the the store the same day (this includes games like Magic where it’s card based) you get 15% off your total. How COOL is that.
They have a large playing area with tons of demo games for you to try. Pretty much every board game you expect is here. The back wall is full of crazy board games that are a bit more complicated than say Monopoly, Clue, etc. But the middle area has more casual/​kid games like Uno, Clue, Set, etc.

I went here on Friday night with some friends to play games since they are open until midnight on Fridays. There were lots of games going on, thus lots of gamer geeks. It made for a pretty fun time.
The staff is really helpful and super friendly. They have a great selection of games for purchase, as well as a huge selection of games you can play in the store. We played a good variety of games and I had a lot of fun just browsing the store and seeing what they had for sale.
My boyfriend and I decided we wanted to tackle a huge puzzle at home, so before we left, I picked one out and took it up to the counter. To my surprise, it rang up cheaper than the price tag listed. When I asked about it, the employee who rang me up told me that if you come in and play games on Fridays, you get 15% off any purchase. Score! I got an awesome deal and I didn’t even know about it until it was time to pay.
I hope to be back here — I had a lot of fun!

I’m a fan.
They have quite a selection of fun games, and you can usually find something to entertain yourself there.
Though don’t expect video games. This is NOT EB.
Also, there are certain nights that you may want to avoid as each night is a different game-​night. Meaning people come to play specific games on certain nights, and the games rotate. I say that you may want to avoid some nights because some games tend to be played by certain people who for whatever reason are less than inclined to… well… bathe.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about any ethnicity, I’m just talking about hygiene. And there are certain nights/​days when the store is quite pungent from the ‘aroma’ of the hygiene-​lacking patrons.
That aside, most days it’s a great store to browse.
Even if you’re a pet owner there are items there for your furry friends! (Okay, not specifically for them, but WHO DOESN’T LIKE TOYS!?!)

In the almost Stepford-​like town of Redmond, Uncle’s Games proved a fun and slightly different shop to browse. I was just wandering round the mall randomly and saw this place.
The shelves held a treasure trove of games. Some were for children but there were a lot of adult (or big kids!) games available, ranging from board to card to collectible. It’s a real shame that I was on the weight limit for my flight back home and so couldn’t buy anything to bring with me. There were some interesting looking boardgames, which weren’t available in the UK
The staff were friendly and not overbearing
It was fun to return later to find a games evening in progress with gamers playing the games in a friendly and inviting atmosphere. A good place to find people to play with if you need playing companions
