  • broken record alert, all I can do is repeat what has been said before. The concept of this place is nice, but I wish they figured out the logistics a bit better. The "sit and play as long as you want given a $5 cover" means that people want to stay for hours and hours to get the most out of their dollar, leaving the waits to get ridiculously long. I waited around two hours to get a table for two...but don't be surprised, that's a normal wait time! Maybe if they had more space, or if they figured out a better payment system...but as it stands right now, I don't want to wait for several hours, only to win a table and feel simultaneously guilty for taking up a table while others wait, but also uncomfortably hurried because I want to take my time and get the most out of my cover fee too. I will commend the people who work here---I've been here twice and both times they were pretty nice; they stopped and recommended games for when we were stuck (the selection is a bit overwhelming at first, until you realise that a lot of it is expansions). They're knowledgeable and up-to-date with the hip games so they will know what you're looking for, theoretically. Too bad the games recommended based on games we enjoy turned out to not be so good. I can't say much in the way of the food/drinks here. Here are some favourites, if you ever get stuck: GROUP GAMES: (fast-ish to learn, classics) Settlers is popular, but I am not a huge fan. Try Pandemic instead. Bang Munchkin Blokus (one-man-for-themselves type games, longer learning curve) Dominion and any deck-building game Race to the Galaxy (very overwhelming at first, but it grows on you) GAMES THAT WORK WITH ONLY TWO PEOPLE: Goblets is amazingly simple yet complex The aMAZEing Labyrinth is a horribly titled but fun game I can't recall the name right now, but it's a game with black tiles and differently coloured symbols, and you're supposed to join them to make four or five in a row... ... ... ---------- ALL IN ALL, props to the owners on trying to bring back the board game. I love board games. And if there were anywhere this idea would work, around all the hipsters near the Annex is a smart location pick. Factoid: the owners are French! As such, most of the people working here can speak French.
