Are you bored of playing board games at your kitchen table? Think outside the box with one of these cafes or stores perfect for those friendly game nights.

Meepleville, at Sahara Avenue and Decatur Boulevard, is the ultimate board game cafe experience. Customers can select from shelves of over 2,600 available games, from backgammon to Catan to Machi Koro.
It sells adult beverages, burgers and sweets to quench the appetite you build up while negotiating for wheat or brick (if you know, you know).
Meepleville charges a $10 cover fee that covers your stay all day and lets you try any game. The cafe’s “Game Gurus” are also available to recommend and teach you new games from the cafe’s library.
