Portland Board Game Store Survey Results... and a new survey!


Thanks to all 24 who responded to my survey on potential new board game store locations in Portland, Oregon! There was not a great deal of consensus on where a new board game store would be most likely to be successful. The top choices were Downtown (4 votes), SE or NE Portland (3 votes each), and Vancouver (2 votes). There was more agreement on the most-favored existing board game store in Portland, with Guardian Games taking top spot (9 votes), followed closely by Rainy Day Games (7 votes), and many others receiving one vote each. As a long-time patron of Bridgetown Hobbies and Games, I was mildly surprised that it didn't garner more support.

In related news, I have developed a new survey to measure support for a new pub board gaming night. There is only one such night in the Portland area of which I am aware, which occurs on Thursday nights at the Lucky Lab on SE Hawthorne. If you have attended one of these Thursday board game nights at the Lucky Lab and wish there were more such nights, or even if you've never been to the Lucky Lab night and think that such an event would be fun, please take the survey, thanks!
