  “Fabulous location, so many board games to choose from. Very much enjoyed the bubble tea whilst playing forbidden island and forbidden jungle. Well worth booking in advance although walk-ins are possible. Didn’t try the food but would be tempted to next time. Purchased a couple of games too. Will be back for sure!

  “I really enjoyed this place and I will be coming back! It can get quite noisy so if you're easily distracted then you'll struggle to concentrate but saying that, if you have good company you can easily zone out, focusing on them. My partner got nachos that were so simple but so fricking good! There's a good selection of drinks. Pricing was good and the selection of games was good.”

  “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.”

  “This store has a great selection of trading cards and board games. It’s a really nice place to come and play board games, and also a great spot to buy cards. The prices are very reasonable, the variety is excellent, and I often manage to pull some amazing cards here. Highly recommended!”

  “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.”

  “It was our first time visiting and we’ll definitely be coming back! The food was really nice (we had pizza) and they had a lot of different drinks on offer. The staff was really accommodating which we appreciated. They had so many boardgames, you could play something new every time you come for a very long time!”

  “Great fun with the kids. Huge library of games and helpful staff if looking for a particular one. Costs £2.50 per hour if you're buying food or drink, or slightly more to just play. Kids enjoyed the huge milkshakes with Oreo or Biscoff. Beer and hot drinks also available. Got quite busy so worth reserving a table if you want a particular time.”
