Oregon’s largest selection of used board games!
Used games, books and graphic novels. Plus geek gifts: dice, posters, magnets, buttons and stickers.
Games played in February. Being sick for a week really put a hamper on my game playing this month … except Ark Nova on BGA, that I still managed to do. @bgstatsapp.bsky.social #boardgames

For just a half a second I forgot what Galactus looked like and for some reason all I could see was a robot with a giant head, arms raised, trying to get the Statue of Liberty’s attention. “Hey! Over here!” #fantasticfour

Games played in January! I bet it’s really hard to tell which game is still my favorite game of all time. #boardgames

My graphic novel library. This year I’d like to add a bit more lighting on the shelves and put posters above the bookcases. Also more books. I always need more books. #graphicnovels

Got the newest Nightwing HC by @tomtaylormade.bsky.social … but why … WHY?!?! did they change the damn DC logo for this last one?!?! I guess Nightwing was jealous of the Vertigo size change next door. #ocd #graphicnovels

Googled it. Even more confused.

Twisters was a prequel to Twister set in a future alternate dimension. Terrible dialogue, bad acting. And I loved It. Bill … er … I mean Tyler is a great character and the rag tag crew was the reason I fell in love Twister. If you can get through the beginning it’s worth the time.

Sticker restock!

Got destroyed at History of the World tonight but it was a blast. A reminder that no matter how good or bad a game is, if you have awesome friends you’ll have fun. We have some awesome friends. #boardgames

I am strangely obsessed and emotionally attached to unmanned robots and machines in space (or just not on Earth). Quick videos like @ellecordova.bsky.social on Ingenuity almost makes me want to cry.

Played Tapestry for the first time last night and I loved it! For some reason I had it in my head that it was a Laukat, but this was very much so a Stegmaier from @stonemaiergames.com. It’s fun when you can feel the designer’s signature in a game. #boardgames

9/ Today we have a great retail space with new and used board games, books, graphic novels, dice, RPGs, puzzles, magnets, posters and statues. And we have a strong community of geeks who get together for all kinds of board games, competitions, pot-lucks, bbqs and we even have a bowling league!

8/ July of 2021 we find our new home! After 13 months of really hard work renovating and decorating we re-open Gamagora in August of 2022. With the reopening there is a shift from just a venue to and with the help of some really dedicated Members from the before times we start to build a community
December 12, 2024 at 6:18 PM
7/ in November of 2020 we design our own web-store, turn our living room into a mini warehouse and start doing home deliveries. We also start a Discord server for our Members and kick off online gaming tournaments.

6/ 2020 the pandemic hits. We are already outgrowing our space and our lease is up in May so we throw everything in storage knowing we’ll reopen after things settles down. Months pass and the mandates aren’t lifted
December 12, 2024 at 6:18 PM
5/ In 2018 we open Gamagora Geekhouse! It becomes a venue for people to come and play games. We host learn to plays, birthdays, wedding parties, team building events and other functions. It’s good and we meet a lot of fun people but there’s not a great sense of community.

4/ David and I host a lot of board game nights but our space is just too small. We also run into the problem of how to meet more fun geeks. We were lucky to be surrounded by geeks at work, but people move and grad students graduate and inviting strangers to your home can be awkward
December 12, 2024 at 6:18 PM
3/ In 2015 I start a new job working with engineers and grad students and I get into hobby board games hardcore. This is also when I meet my partner in crime, David.

2/ I go away to college and attend my first ComicCon. ‘03 or ‘04 somewhere in there. And I discover there are people like me out there! I continue collecting every Batman title for years, watch every geeky movie and TV show I can get my hands on but I’m very much surrounded by non-geeks.

1/ 1992 is when my Geek Origin Story™️ begins. That year both Batman the Animated Series airs and Batman Returns is released. Elementary/middle school I start writing fanfic. Middle/high school I start collecting comic books.

I appreciate when companies go eco-friendly. But the biodegradable product needs to actually work. The Stonemaier bags are terrible. Maybe these are supposed to be one time use and they are working as intended. But if that’s the case, why have a resealable bags that won’t last long enough to reseal.
