★★★★★
We spent nearly three hours last evening in this cafe-meets-gaming mecca playing a handful of games that none of us had seen before. The game selection was dazzling, the staff were incredibly friendly, and the place itself was just cool – geek decor, nice music, and lush booths for gaming.
Simon TripAdvisor review
Went here after passing with the boyfriend and decided to pop in — what a place! Absolutely amazing, so many laughs together and such a friendly atmosphere. The menu and staff were amazing! Really enjoyed it, will definitely be coming back and bringing more people!
Jade Facebook review
Enjoyed an aprés work visit with work colleagues as a most pleasant and unusual evening social. A stunning range of games that are explained by staff. The establishment is faultless – a new style of quality venue that really adds so much to the city’s entertainment lifestyle.

Stepping into Board it has a really cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The staff are enthusiastic, helpful and friendly. There’s a really great selection of games for all group sizes and the food and drinks are very nice too. Heartily recommended for a fun afternoon going on into the evening,

Awesome place, great fun, super friendly and helpful staff, the best thing to happen to Exeter since Princesshay.

Exactly what a board game cafe should be – tasty snacks and drinks, huge range of games and incredibly helpful staff who will get you started with all the games. Worth booking as it can be very busy.
