2 years agoWe had a great time. The staff were overly friendly and attentive, Ethan especially. The chicken tenders certainly earned their name, super tender, and their games are on a whole other level of clean.

We had a great time. The staff were overly friendly and attentive, Ethan especially. The chicken tenders certainly earned their name, super tender, and their games are on a whole other level of clean. Much better than the Lucia with covers and lamination (although the Ludica does have a larger selection). I do want to mention though that I wish there were more filling foods, but that's fine, I get it. This is centered around games with snacks on the side that shouldn't get the games dirty. Show less

Drinks were cute and we stuck with popcorn, gummies, and waffle fries for the table, which were all as good as expected. Overall, we had such a blast. Look forward to coming back for sure! Show less

This place is phenomenal and I highly recommend! This is a board game cafe with plenty of fun party board games and some pretty good food. They have a cocktail (virgin version available too) with a rubber ducky in it, which you can keep and take home! Parking is a bit difficult (and expensive) around here, but it’s close to the Gastown Skytrain Station. They also pay the workers there a living wage, so tips aren’t needed at all, which is much appreciated for businesses nowadays, and all students get discounts on entry on Wednesdays :) Show less

Everything about this place is on point: the decor, the food & drinks, game selection, friendly staff, VIBES. Also being LGBTQ+ friendly and paying staff a living wage = cherry on top of an already perfect sundae. Came here with my partner and a couple other friends, and ended up staying for hours —we played 6 games! Thank you Lyona the game steward for helping us with rules when needed too. Will definitely be planning on coming here again! Show less

We went to Turquoise Goat over the holidays and were met with a vibrant place with friendly servers and game enthusiasts. They also had an online waiting line which you can join. My partner enjoyed her soup of the day and my London fog was good. We were also given some good recommendations and we were able to discover a new expansion to a game that we enjoyed. I also really appreciated their no tip policy as they say they pay their workers well but of course part of this is reflected in the prices. So dont be surprised if its a little pricey but this seems like a good thing. Show less

We went in at around 930 and were told that the cafe would close earlier than 11pm due to lack of people(?). When i went in, there were about 4 other tables busy playing. I consider this policy pretty strange. I had expected to be able to play at least a few games, but with this early closure, i could only play one. They explained beforehand they could reduce the fee slightly to $7 because of the early closure. Still, since the usual max sitting time is 3 hours, i felt like we overpaid somewhat to essentially be only able to play one game. About the price, it is good overall that they include a living wage into their pricing, so this is just a complaint about the early closure and having to leave so soon. (One game is never enough!) The boardgame hosts and staff were friendly, and the rubber ducky drink was as cute as on the picture (and delicious). I wish they would respect the time of patrons who come there later ay night and not close early since patrons have already planned their timing around the opening hours. Also, i love rubber duckies, but these minirubber ducks float lopsided in a bath because they have a airhole at the bottom, so its more for decoration only. Show less

Loved so many things about this place! Excellent service, friendly and helpful staff, fun drinks, great atmosphere, wonderful selection of games. Only area for improvement would be the food items. We ordered the nachos and unfortunately topping distribution was rather sad for the price. Only came with about 2 tbsp's of salsa which is not nearly enough when half the tray of chips has no cheese or toppings. Also, $17 for a wrap with no side seems like a wild price. $6 to add a side of undercooked and under-seasoned fries? Not great. I would definitely return for game playing, but would likely stick with ordering a bucket of popcorn, opting for a full meal elsewhere. Overall, a good boardgame cafe experience with room for improvement in the food department. Show less

Wow! I had such a fantastic time at Turquoise Goat! Wednesdays are student discount night, so take advantage of that if you're in university. BOOK AHEAD! It costs nothing to make a reservation and it will absolutely guarantee you a spot. I unfortunately saw a few people get turned away due to capacity limits. There were so many games to choose from. We played Exploding Kittens, Sabobatage, Wizard Thieves, and Coop. We liked Wizard Thieves so much, we bought a copy to take home! Wizard Thieves is also by a local artist! Food and drink was pricey, but they do not ask for tips as they pay their employees a living wage, so it works out about the same as what you would pay at most casual sit-down restaurants. I got the Lucky Duck drink and it was SO YUMMY! We also split chicken and fries, it was good but pretty standard, nothing crazy. All employees were super nice and helpful. Most of our games were recommended by a game steward. Definitely worth it to come here! Entry is a good price, but take into account food and drink costs and plan ahead. Loved it! Show less

Highly recommend for all boardgame lovers! For $10/person entrance for 3 hours, this is a great way to spend the afternoon. The staff are attentive and nice and even teach you how to play the games so you don’t need to read the instructions!! Bonus points for the store paying their employees a living wage (customers are not required to tip) and accessible washrooms. There are many games and the staff ensure all pieces are accounted for after each game - great attention to detail. We got some food to eat: chicken strips and waffle fries, soup, tea, hot chocolate and zucchini chocolate loaf. The food was average but good to nibble on. We played Photosynthesis and Hues & Cues, we liked them both. Looking forward to coming again! Show less

Great place to hang out and try boardgames before buying! Decent price of $10 for 3 hours per person with a variety of food, drinks, and snacks for purchase. Highly recommended to make a reservation! Service is very friendly and attentive. They are so patient and will explain a game with all its rules to you so you can get playing faster. Love that tips are not required as they are all paid a living wage. I recommend their lucky duck drink as it comes with an adoptable lil duck for a souvenir! Their buttermilk pancakes are delicious and fries are satisfying to snack on while playing. We played Pandemic and Ticket to Ride! Super fun and can't wait to come again. Show less
