This one was tough to rate. I originally rated it a 3/5 but changed it to a 4/5 upon further thought, I would give it a 3.5 if I was able too but Google does not allow half stars so I decided to give a small business the benefit of the doubt. On one hand the fee was very reasonable and the library of games extensive. It was a nice little shop. On the other hand I wasn’t thrilled with the service overall. Various arbitrary fees for things like outside food when we had allergies to the food they sold, the refusal of the staff to make change for us so we could pay the parking meter outside. They also had advertisements for controversial political candidates in their bathroom. In short I was impressed with the affordability and variety but was not thrilled with the staff nor service. Would I g
Just go already you nerd It's ten bucks yes they even have that game, they have 400+. Yes You can have your 4-Hour campaign with the other 10 people. Let your nerd flag fly. It's not a sausage fest. Everybody's welcome everybody's kind because they're not paying attention to you they're paying attention to the people playing their game. If you got smart kids go visit. If you need a place for a date go visit. Jen the owner is awesome she's knowledgeable and kind and will answer your questions or leave you alone it's up to you. The cookies are good. The sodas are interesting and varied. The rest of food is kind of meh but good enough buy something anyway because at $10 a person shes doing us a huge favor It's would be a value at $20. Just go already so you can come back. I love 45 minutes
My wife and I made it a point to stop in during our long weekend getaway for our anniversary after seeing videos of the cafe online. I was impressed with the amount of tables that were available along with the amount of options available in terms of snacks and drinks, not to mention the nearly 1,000 board games available. I am not exaggerating about the amount of board games available. We were there for a board game demo and as the afternoon went on, the place became more and more busy. It genuinely seemed full of joy with families playing together, friend groups enjoying several different games, and parents playing games while their kids were at an adjacent table enjoying their own choices of game. At 4pm, a large group came in for what I believe is the weekly Blood on the Clocktower ga
I didn’t take any pictures of our group, but my boyfriend and I were invited to a board game night the night prior to our friends’ wedding. This was THE best place they could have chosen to have us all together! It was the first time I’d met any of them, and for him, it was a place to meet new friends he’d gamed online with for years (and even reconnected with some after several years). This small business offers a wide variety of drinks, snacks, and they were so patient when taking my drink orders. Their recommendations were spot on to what I was looking for. There are many tables available in the area, and they were able to accommodate our large, rowdy group. This is such a neat space. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a game night or to try something different. I’m not a board game
This is a wonderful place to spend an evening, make some new friends and play board games. They have a huge selection of board games and a diverse schedule for all other games like TRPGs, Poker, Cribbage and so on. If you're a solo player and don't have a group yet, you can easily find it via their Discord channel. Plus you can track there any events you may be interested in. The events can be either drop-in or requiring a sign-up. Board Game clubs are as good as their community. And the community here is great and welcoming to newcomers. Owners - Jen and Chris - are onsite, and they are always ready to help. There is a good selection of snacks and a coffee/tea bar with tasty options. The menu always expands and tailors to the taste of the crowd. I really recommend checking this place ou
