Finally a good board game cafe on this side of the Hudson River! Plenty of seats and leveled tables (I know!!). The space is a bit echo-y, so when its busy it can get a bit loud. Pricing here is pretty standard - $5 for unlimited play. They have a decent variety and game selections here for guests to borrow (covered in the $5 fee), ranging from chess to Taboo to Power Grid. Food-wise, they only have packaged food and drink at this time, but Ive been told that they have plans to provide prepared food and drinks in the future. For now, they are open to visitors bringing outside drink and food.

I have been to this location a few times. I would give more stars but there is this person who works there that is quite opinionated and arrogant. He mocks games we want to play. He talks down to you. He tells you what would be better or in his opinion "better" games. He is also slow to help with anything but board game questions and seems to struggle with the cafe tasks. Did not pick up his name but he is rather short with glasses and very little hair. The location, selection, and other staff are great. This one guy named Ken was very helpful teaching us games!

Ive never met an unkind staff member. Coming here is always very fun. They have a wonderful selection of games to play. Ask about the tea! Theyre extremely knowledgeable about what they sell. Its lovely to see. If youre thinking about going you should really go.

Friendly and helpful staff, tons of games to play. They also organize community game nights a few times a week so you can drop in alone and still play in a group and meet new people! Recommend highly. Theres no hot food but plenty of places nearby and delivery.

Came for Wednesday standard Magic. They also had D&D campaigns running at the same time. The coowner was very nice and even loaned me one of his decks to play with as Ive been out of the game for 10+ years. Will definitely be back.

A wonderful crowd with a great game selection. They have board and card games to play or buy, and lots of events on evenings and weekends. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, too. Hope more places like this pop up!

Better than the dentist that used to be there. Really cool that there is a game cafe in Hoboken. Its a shame they cant allow BYOB. This place is going to stick around as along as Stevens stays Stevens

You pay $5 to play as many board games as you want... Honestly this is a great deal and I love this place. They have every board game imaginable. I only wish they served food but their coffee is good
