We have lots of tools to help you choose a game (see our game picker linked below,) learn a game without actually reading the rules (most games are stickered with a QR code that takes you to a how to play video….for those of you that hate reading rulebooks) or you can even bring in your own game/DND group/etc. Same game pass pricing applies.
–PLUS we have snacks, drinks, alcohol, cats (in their separate lounge but viewable from the cafe side through large windows) and all the good vibes.
20% of the profits from our food, drink and merch sales go back to our partner rescues. Hang out. Buy stuff. Help cats.
