ボードゲームプレイスペース ボードジェンヌ

I came here hoping to share a table, but regulars and non-regulars are assigned different seats, and since it's run by just one owner, the wait is really long even if you ask for an instruction manual.

I came here hoping to share a table, but regulars and non-regulars are assigned different seats, and since it's run by just one owner, the wait is really long even if you ask for an instruction manual. There are lots of other board game cafes, but this one seemed inferior in terms of the service provided by the staff and the amount of board games available. As others have posted, I guess once you become a regular you'll feel it's a great place. Show less

This board game space is located in front of JR Sannomiya Station. It's a play-only space, with no sales. There are over 1,000 games available to play. They're organized by category, making it easy to find the game you're looking for. I played several games, and for every game, the cards were sleeved, and the pieces and other items were individually packaged in zip-top bags with labels affixed. It was clear that they're beginner-friendly and take great care with their items. Bringing drinks isn't allowed, but you can order from the drink bar. Snacks are fine as long as you're not playing a board game. I went during Golden Week, and the seats were full by 2:00 PM. During peak seasons, it's best to go right after opening or make a reservation (though there were reserved seating signs, so reservations are probably possible). Sharing a table is cheaper, so if you're comfortable with that, I recommend it! Show less

A restaurant where sharing a table is recommended. It's good to go with friends you know, but there are some games where you can read people's thoughts and it spoils the gameplay.

A restaurant where sharing a table is recommended. It's good to go with friends you know, but there are some games where you can read people's thoughts and it spoils the gameplay. So, as the restaurant says, you can enjoy it better if you share your table. The staff will select a game based on the number of people seated and the atmosphere of the customers, and will bring it to you.They will also explain the rules, so even beginners can have fun playing. I'm glad I got to know the world of board games. I would like to stop by again if I am nearby. Show less

The shop is located right after crossing the crosswalk after exiting the ticket gate at Kobe-Sannomiya Station. It's right in front of you when you go up the escalator next to the pachinko parlor, and there's a sign in front of the street, so you won't get lost. When I went there on a weekday, there were two other groups of customers, one of whom was willing to share a table. This shop encourages sharing a table, and apparently there's a discount if you do. I was accompanied by Everdale, who I'd wanted to play for a while. The rules are that the manager will install the game for you when he's free. There were shelves along the walls of the floor with all kinds of games lined up. There was a sign saying "preparation in progress" in one place, and board games were piled up in storage cases. I asked if they could play, and they said that some games couldn't be installed, but they could be played. They also call in advance to ask if they have XX, and if they have it, they'll bring it out for you. I wonder if the location of Sannomiya and the fact that Jankara is above it have something to do with it? There were also a few couples who looked like university students and young office workers among the customers who came later. The only alcohol they serve is beer, so I think it's a place for people who want to have a casual time. I think it's a pretty welcoming place. Next time I'll go on a weekend. Show less
