| - I was so excited about this place when I first heard about it and finally got to check it out this past Sunday. The service was excellent, coffee decent, and the selection of games was impressive. Being pretty inexperienced with more advanced board games, I found the help useful but a little forceful. When picking games, I was eager to look through for myself to find what I wanted, and being stopped and offered games instead is thoughtful but a little annoying. If I want help, its good to know its there and I can ask for it, but I'd much prefer to ask for it, rather than have it thrust upon me. My friends and I were having an awesome time just figuring out the rules to a game and setting up, but were a little turned off when one of the staff members sat down at our table and explained the game...and then hovered over us...for about 10 minutes...A bit imposing.
As I said, I give the place four stars, and I thought all the guys there were great, but I hope they can be a little more passive and let people learn and find games for themselves, or it may be a bit of a deal breaker for me and my friends.
