Red Castle Games

SE Portland's beloved game shop, nominated for TCGPlayer's 2025 Hobby Shop of the Year. Board games, MTG, Pokemon, and miniatures with an in-house Ruby Brews Cafe.

Red Castle Games is a SE Portland institution on Foster Rd that earned a nomination for TCGPlayer's 2025 Hobby Shop of the Year Award — a testament to the community it has built. The shop specializes in board games, Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon, miniatures, and RPGs, with a well-curated selection that balances popular titles with indie gems. The in-house Ruby Brews Cafe serves coffee, beer, wine, cider, and snacks, making it easy to settle in for a long gaming session. Owner Matthew Micetic has built a loyal community around competitive pricing (often the best MTG prices in Portland) and strong tournament support. The shop has weathered multiple burglaries targeting high-value Pokemon and MTG cards — a sign of just how desirable their inventory is. With nearly 1,000 Google reviews and a dedicated weekly crowd, Red Castle proves that a community-first approach wins in the long run.
