Very friendly and informed staff that spoke very good English and were able to explain the game Spendor Duel to my love and I quickly and efficiently so we were able to begin playing immediately great price great value tasty drinks however it is very loud in there but that’s just people having a good time and I don’t understand why people would fault the café for that. Ignore the negative reviews. We would have stayed longer if we could have they have a very good selection of games ranging all different categories. Show less

7 years agoDiversity of board games. The game leaders are enthusiastic. The price is 59,000/pax for free playing and 1 drink. The next drink is 20% off, price from 20-40,000. I spend 3-4 hours there, because the game is very attractive. Minus point is there’s very noise because there’s station of board game.

7 years agoFor the equivalent of $2.5 you can get 1 drink and access to any board game they have. The place can be crowded and noisy at times.

6 years agoReally good service. Staff explained the rules, in English, in a clear and friendly fashion without overstaying there welcome or being anything but professional and funny. Great selection of games. Shame they only have white Wheat beer in the fridge though. 5/5 will make it a Sunday habit.

I would recommend you to go with a group, so that the games would be more fulfilling, and if you can, go on a weekday, the manager was quite busy when we went on a saturday, so while waiting for him to explain to us the next board game we wanted to play, we played universal games like UNO and Jenga. They also offer drinks and bites! I tried their brown sugar fresh milk drink, tasted average, but it looks good! Show less

3 years agoThe place is rather small and not very well kept. The games are in bad condition (cards are not sleeved, game pieces are worn and randomly replaced...). The 2 hosts were rude and kept gossiping about the players when they thought they couldn't be heard. Definitely would not recommend!

There is a very good selection of games here to choose from, even a few I hadn't heard of. The decor and store layout is nice too. The menu is simple, but the main draw here is the games, not the food/drinks. The staff regularly came to check that we were ok with the rules, and we even had a small post match analysis as I was not victorious this time around. This might be my favourite place in Vietnam!

In a nutshell : great place for board games. I highly recommend ! The staff is friendly and willing to teach you the rules (though I'm fine with dealings with rules myself). They have a large collection. I didn't count but from the small/casual games like hanabi, exploding kittens, Trekking History or king domino, to more elaborate games like Inis, Victorian Masterminds, Eko, Yawning Portal ; and upstairs more advanced games like Brass Lancashire or Rising Sun, you'll have much choice. All the games we played were sleeved, showing the care from the owners. So if some games have a missing component or rule, I would guess it's from a careless customer. I wish one could eat there and have other drinks that non-alcoholic, but as it stands it's definitely a great place to hang out and have some games. Occassionally someone will play the piano, contributing to a nice atmosphere. I was told the place exists since 2014 and I wish them to be there for at least the next decade ! Show less

8 years agoIt's a cool space in the city that you may have fun here sharing with cronies via boardgames. It would be better if the staff could be more extroverted or proactive to ask guests if they need some instructions or explanations to the games. Basic English works here.

The host was on hand to teach/remind us on rules if we needed it, he spoke great English and was skilled at explaining rules clearly. 70k entrance which covers the cost of a drink. Great coffee. There were a few cats lounging about too. Show less

3 years agoReally nice place to hang out! Lot of game choices and drinks are amazing! (I advise you the Jasmin milk tea 🧋👌) Also, if you need help to chose a game or to explain how to play, they will be there for you! We ended up staying there the whole afternoon!

6 years agoLots of games! Someone to explain every thing in English or Vietnamese, pay a ticketing fee per person and then play as much as you want. Fee is like 50k and add 10k for a drink. No alcohol. People recommend games and help you with rules so it’s easy to pick up new games.

5 months agoSmall café with a large variety of board games. The drinks are not special but ok. The thing is to have a good time with friends. The place is quite old, but it could be just a style that some people like.

70,000 for unlimited games and a drink (they had sodas and teas) for the day per person. Me and my partner had a great time. It’s a great place to put the phone down and be present

I'm generally pretty insensitive to noise, and I understand that board game cafes allow friends to chat a little loudly and enjoy themselves. However, on my last visit, the table next to me was incredibly loud. They ignored the staff's warnings and continued to yell. They weren't even playing board games. They were just eating takeout food from outside, taking TikTok videos on their phones, and yelling nonstop. I'm not talking about laughing or chatting. They were literally screaming like five-year-olds. The cafe had a lot of games, and the staff was friendly enough to explain how to play. However, I'm hesitant to go back because of such an inconsiderate customer. Show less
