I can spend hours here without realizing the time. The BEST place in Boston for you and your friends to have a blast! (And maybe lose some friendships based on the games you play lol)
Also- shoutout to Azaar, who assisted us and was simply amazing!

Love this place! Best place to have games night! They give recs if you have no idea. And intention is community based and not for the $ like Tavern game place.

Azar, our server, was lovely; and the venue is excellent. We came in on a hot chocolate crawl (though we’ve been here several times for the games and they were great), and Azar handled us excellently. We just wanted to note that the hot chocolate mix, while tasty, is a little on the sweet side, and that Azar deserves a raise.

We've been a couple of times and really enjoyed the game selection. The cafe itself has always been decent as well. My advice would be to call ahead and confirm that there is no event going on since the website and social media aren't always correct.

Today we arrived just before 2pm and, instead of being greeted, were immediately told that there were no tables for two available. When I asked to be added to the waitlist, we were told that there was an event at 4 and we should come back at 5. We had driven significantly out of our way to visit and waiting around another 3 hours would have been ridiculous. There were no mention of a private event on the website or socials. Overall, this was a disappointing experience, and I'm not particularly inclined to return.

This place is very cool, there's a ton of games to choose from and the staff is knowledgeable about the games to give recommendations based on what you're looking for. I would recommend reserving ahead of time as space is limited and people want to be there.

Nice board game collection, and friendly staff! I recommend calling if you’re short on time as the online waitlist acts up sometimes.

Really fun spot. $10 cover charge but you get access to hundreds of boardgames. Service is a bit slow sometimes

Would give it 10 stars if I could! Fabulous place

Kid-friendliness: From their website: "Most of our game collection is geared toward people ages 10+, but we do have a small selection of kids’ games that can be brought out on request."

Amazing place. Must go. Great vibe and plenty of room for board games. The cafe is a great touch and has a matcha latte (comes unsweetened). Great value for the money as well
