This is a great place to go play board games or magic the gathering with your friends.

Their prices on board game and magic the gathering product is atrocious though… “premium” products are up charged by $80.

Please do yourself a favor and enjoy the space but do not buy anything from here unless you have money to burn.

Lots of fun for Friday night! I love that it's not too loud, and the staffs are very friendly.fyi, so they sell food, they are mostly snacks.

The coffee is okay, the atmosphere is great you will have a good time with friends, the main reason I’m giving this review is that a worker there was very rude to my child, the lights for the bathroom were outside, and are 4 switches she was trying to turn on the light for the bathroom but end it up turning off the one from the outside, and the worker yelled and said stop playing with the lights, he was rude, he could’ve said more calmly or ask why that was happening, the place is amazing but stuff like this is a downgrade for sure, label your switches.

Went to check this place out on a rainy Saturday. It was packed so we didn’t get a chance to play anything but that was expected. The only reason for the lower rating is because the lattes we had had absolutely no coffee flavor whatsoever, just milk. I would have been happier with the Starbucks down the street, and Starbucks isn’t even that good (to me). It kinda put me off to the whole place which is a shame because it looks really cute and cozy.

We had a great time last weekend. If you have a big group it's probably a good idea to reserve space online ahead of time. The staff was great and there's a big selection of games.

Cute little place. Spent several hours there the first day and came back the next for more. Extremely reasonable price, and the staff was extremely kind. I would highly recommend if you have friends who want to play but don't have the games.

Came in for the lorcana launch weekend, want to start off by saying that I could have done 2 things differently to make the experience better for my self. I should have called ahead and got exact details about the event and I should have arrived 15 min early to the event to give my self more prep time if I did want to participate in organized play. I also really appreciate that you could reserve the decks and booster ahead of time! The thing I'm the most disappointed with is that when we came in to get our starter decks and booster we were handed the decks and then sat down to figure out the games our selfs while being told organized play would start shortly. To try and learn a game with in 30 minutes is a little crazy if you ask me. When my wife sat down after I got up to use the restroom a employee asked if she needed any help and my wife said "yes I don't know ware to start" the employee said back "opening the deck will help". When I return and I heard that I was done we took our packs and starter decks and left. I did say to the employees that a better description on the website would be nice and they seemed very understanding of that point. I don't not think I will be coming back here for launch events or for any other activity I was very excited to check it out but unfortunately the way this was handled was not great. I understand that the employees could not hold everyones hand and explain the rules but then don't have organized play for a TCG that just came out.

Went there to explore. Never played board games prior. Staff was welcoming and introduced me to the games. Super fun

Paid $15 for three hours to play board games and meet new people. Was forced to leave only 47 minutes because there were either too many players, or too few players.

This place is extremely unprofessional! I am apart of a non-profit organization. We’ve been trying to schedule an event at this location for over a month… we called over 15 times with no answer and the few times they did pick up they were unable to get us a manager or help in any way.

When we were FINALLY able to get a hold of someone we let them know about our event and booked 20 PEOPLE for a saturday afternoon. We just went there today for our event and we were completely TURNED away! They said the reservation never went through after we had multiple verbal confirmations that we were booked.

So horrible and unprofessional. I will not be coming back.

Great place to come with family or friends. I love it because it's something different to do. It allows you to interact with your loved ones and have simple fun. Plenty of board games so there's something for everyone. The staff is very friendly. You can have some food to snack on. The baked mozzarella sticks were really good- very cheesy. The staff is very friendly and happy to help with questions.

Such a fun place to go for people of all ages. So many games and decent enough food to not go hungry. Staff is always very helpful as well and will help you with the many games if you don't know how to play them. Decor is really great and the perfect size where you don't feel all congested. Decent location too as parking is not too bad from the back way.

FOR EVENTS…save your money unless you know what you’ll be paying. Went for DnD night in which I learned about through Meetup (The app showed it was a free event), messaged on Instagram if LV5 was okay (I was told it was). I drive 30 min in the pouring rain to find out it’s $30 with tax/$25 w/out PER GAME! Outrageous price and then I found out I couldn’t use my level 5 character even though I asked super in advance. So, I was forced to quickly create a lv 1 character without really thinking about what I wanted. Though the person working was friendly and the coffee was good, I wouldn’t go unless you know what you’re going to be spending instead of being back handedly blindsided like I was. Though I know the players aren’t a reflection of the establishment, I will say it wasn’t even fun to play DnD because of them and the inability they had to let other players investigate anything. I decided to leave shortly after starting.

Great place for family, friends, or a date night. They have tons of board games to choose from for play and quite a (smaller) collection they sell. The games are slightly pricey, but if you can do it support a small business!
The people were also really nice, super helpful, and would play games too

A delightful spot to spend half the day with your friends or family. Board games for sale or rent a table and play a wide selection of games. The attentive staff will teach you how to play. Great way to try before you buy. Huntington is a little bit of a drive for us, so my family likes to do a doubleheader and stop at the cat café across the street while we are in the area.
