What people are saying? (Google Reviews Summary)

Manhattan's board game café serves up nostalgia with a side of competitive spirit, making it the perfect quirky date spot for couples ready to play and slay.

This spot is like the Central Perk of board games but less coffee and more Catan. The lineup is a board game lover's fever dream, from the classics to the "what even is this?" niche finds. 

The staff are total game gurus, ready to guide you through the labyrinth of options. Cooper’s practically the Yoda of game recommendations. So if you’re stuck between Ticket to Ride or something more obscure, he’s got you covered.

Tables are as elusive as a subway seat at rush hour, so plan ahead. But once you’re in, it's three hours of pure board game bliss. Bonus points for the AC, which is as reliable as your significant other’s questionable strategy in Candy Land. 

The vibe is all about those friendly rivalries. Bring snacks, grab a drink, and let the games begin. Just maybe skip the Cards Against Humanity if you're still testing the waters with your date.
