Our Story
After the trials and tribulations of the pandemic, we thought, what better way to bring people together than through the magic of gaming and chatter over damn good coffee? This is what truly inspired our desire to open a board gaming cafe. Our mission is to provide a safe and inclusive space for all individuals. We are hopeful that this immersive experience will not only promote connection and acceptance, but a sense of community.
