My family and I were able to get a table and buy some drinks and spend several hours playing games. We played Ticket to Ride, Guess Who, and Cards Against Humanity. The staff was also helpful with their beer recommendations as I was unfamiliar with the brands and drinks. The vibe was great, lots of people taking time to play with friends and enjoy their Sunday night. It is a great spot to meet up and enjoy spending time with your friends!

Not wanting to travel all the way to Brooklyn, you would not believe my shock when I discovered a board game café in Midtown Manhattan! After paying, you and your friends can eat (cost separate) and play for up to 3 hours! They have tons of classics such as CATAN, Sorry, Candy Land, and Taboo. However, they also have unique and uncommon games such as Haiclue, Daybreak, and Telestrations.
My advice: definitely come early! Tables and seats are limited to a first-come-first-serve basis. You should also plan ahead of what you want to do. Some of these games take an hour or two, while others are fast a couple of minutes. Nonetheless, have fun and check out their shop section where you can buy some of the games too.

You need a reservation - and that wasn’t made clear when I spoke to them on the phone. Also you need to go in person to get on the waitlist if you don’t make a reservation first.

There’re a lot of games to choose. A great place to hang out with friends.

This place is a true NY gem! I had previously visited but completely forgot to share my experience. As I was passing by through the neighborhood and had some time to spare I went in and Cooper took care of me. He had helped me pick this awesome game for a Friendsgiving and this time I had to thank him for guiding me with that choice. This place has any board game you could think of and the atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. Please visit and bring friends to share yummy snacks and possibly challenge those friendships 😅

We tried to play 3 different games but none of the games have all that is needed to play. I talked to the workers there, and all they did was to find excuses. They said it was the holiday season so they hadn’t had the time to sort through the cards. But as a board game cafe, you have one single job…. It’s not like you’re a restaurant that just so happened to have board games…

Great board-room to spend some time with friends and try out various board/card games It's $25 per person for 3 hours (games included)
I recently started coming here with my friend at LEAST once a month and came in last night with a group for a last minute get together for my birthday! I cannot stress this enough, the customer service has been phenomenal every. single. time. And I’ve been there enough times to kind of see the rotation of employees so to get this amazing customer service no matter who’s working says so much about this friendly environment. Last night our group wanted to play UNO but it wasn’t available at the time (a different group was playing it) one of the employees said she would try her best to find it for us and then did an excellent job at suggesting other game options! Our group was super impressed at the group game recommendations and I will still be hyping this place for the rest of my life so thank you to The Uncommons team!

This has become the go-to spot for my son and me. The staff is welcoming and polite. The patrons are an eclectic bunch of people. It feels great to find a spot so accepting of different people. It provides a space for my son and I to get our nerd on.
Kid-friendliness: My pre-teen son was treated well by both staff and guests. This is the place he requests because it makes him feel comfortable and that means a great deal to me.
