I love this place. So many board games to choose from and you can also play video games and bring your boardgames from home. Been spending lovely afternoons there and time just flies by. I have to say the staff makes it a really special place, everyone is just so nice and friendly. Great vibes.

One of the best places I’ve been to… the vibe is very relaxing and everyone is so nice. I usually get so nervous going to places but I don’t feel that here! The ambiance is welcoming. The prices are decent and their chips are my fav :). Love to Casper for always being so lovely to me and remembering me when I came in the next time!
