I took my partner here for a date night once. We now go here nearly every 2 weeks, it is such a cozy atmosphere with a massive variety of not just board games but different cards, collectables, and anything else a nerdy person would love. The service as well is second to none! Me and my partner are big Pokemon collectors and whenever we go in they will always say what they’ve just had in stock and show genuine emotion towards our interests. If you want a cozy place to have good food, good games and somewhere to just relax freely then I could not recommend them enough

Visited for the first time on a Saturday evening and had a great experience. The atmosphere was relaxed, the lighting was good, and staff checked us in and showed us to our reserved table. We booked for two people and I'd definitely recommend booking ahead as it was getting quite busy. The selection of games was impressive. As someone who isn't a hardcore board gamer, I preferred the quicker and simpler games, although it could be easier to find suitable games for different group sizes or experience levels. Categorising games by player count, game length or complexity, or having a catalogue to browse, could make it easier for newcomers. Food and drinks were brought to the table, which was convenient and meant we could keep playing without having to queue. We booked for two hours but ended up staying longer and had a really enjoyable evening. Overall, a great venue for a date, catching up with friends, or trying out new games. I'd happily visit again.

I come here a lot for Pokemon and One piece! Restock very soon and they are all in good price! You can also find almost every box game in here to have fun with your friends.

We had a lovely couple of hours here borrowing from the extensive and eclectic selection of games, accompanied with some tasty milkshakes and bubble tea. There was a lovely atmosphere of pairs and groups of friends playing various games at each table. Prices were great value, allowing you to try games that you might consider buying if you like them. Would definitely come again.
