Next Move Cafe

A comfortable space for you to play board games with your friends in Brooklyn. Next Move Cafe offers a wide range of bubble tea and snacks, as well as, a huge library of board games. Although their library of board games is huge, they neatly label and organize them into different sections. I do not know the criteria of their sorting, but it does make it easy for us to find board games to play. The master list of all the board games in the cafe is listed on their webpage, so you can see if there are any games that interest you before going there. While the food and drinks took a bit long, it was worth the wait. The Peach Fruit Tea (Green Tea) was slightly sweet and not bitter as I thought it would be. The Kurobuta Sausages Yaki Don offered a nice sweet and salty meal. The Chicken Katsu was lightly breaded and soft. If possible, I recommend coming early. Seats and tables tend to fill up fast!

Incredibly fun experience here!! The owners and staff have so much passion for board games here, and they love to share that passion with others! If you want to try a new game, but don't necessary want to read the rules, no worries. Some of the staff can teach the table. I've also joined a tourament here, and both JJ and Sandy were such amazing hosts!! They also host party events. And for less crowds, good to come on a weekday. Quite a few board game cafes have popped up in NYC, but I definitely enjoy this place and its people the most!

I went here with three friends, four including me on thanksgiving and we got free macaroons! We payed $10 each for admission fee, and payed separately for food. The fries were just right! There are TONS of board game option, I mean TONS. I had so much fun, and I think I might’ve lost three pounds from laughing so hard with my friends while playing games. The entrance is adorable too!

It is decent for $10-12 admission for 3 hours of game time. The atmosphere is relaxing and quite spacious. The booth can fit 6 people. And there is also a large room that is great for role-playing game with some privacy. Ordered some teas, seaweed fries, and fried chicken wings. Food and drinks are decent but portion is not huge if you are sharing between 4 people. Overall, this is a great place if you love to play boardgames with friends but don’t have the space in the city.

Came with a party of five on a Sunday afternoon and there weren’t many people, which was great for us. They have a lot of games available to play so we were able to try some new games. Admission fee is only $12 for 3 whole hours on Fridays - Sundays. $10 on Mondays - Thursdays so price is really cheap compared to other board game cafes. We played this category game called Tapple that was really fun. There’s also a card game called taco cat goat cheese pizza that’s super simple to play and is really similar to slap jack. The inside of this place is really spacious and they also have a decent variety of food/drinks. You can choose to become a member and earn points to unlock certain deals. When you register for the first time, you spin their wheel of fortune, which gives you a certain type of perk depending on what you land on (ex: free drink, free candy, free fries, etc). All your purchases also get accounted for in their points system where you can redeem for free things once you reach a certain amount. There’s also a section where they sell their own merchandise that includes tote bags and water bottles. The workers were all really nice and kind, taking the time to explain to us how things worked at the cafe and also helped us find the category game that my friend forgot the name of originally. Highly recommend coming here if you’re looking for a place to play board games without worrying about it being too crowded!
