Game and puzzle shop
Eureka Puzzles is a bright and colorful shop filled with puzzles of all kinds. If you are looking for games, they are located just to the left as you walk in, with more on the far side of the register. They have the classics: chess, Scrabble, Monopoly, Chinese Checkers, cards; they also had a really good selection of RPG games: Arkham Asylum, Settlers of Catan in many flavors, Battlestar Galactica, a Discworld game, and many innovative strategy games. There was a pair of all-marble chess sets complete with pieces which were gorgeous, the smaller set sells for $90 which is really reasonable. The store also has lots of kinesthetic puzzles - magnets, models, lots of metal puzzles to figure out how to take apart, and some rubiks style puzzles. They keep a bigger inventory of their puzzles online than they can fit in their store, since their basement is full of them! So check that out if you're looking for something specific. The employees were very friendly and willing to help us out, and were jovial through the checkout process. They have a rewards system that gives quarterly rewards of 5% in store credit on all purchases, free to anyone. The only thing I couldn't find was a good set of multiple sided dice, but I could have missed them. Lots of parking is available on Beacon St, and I just found out it's free on Sundays! I'll be back :)
