Great place to go to create memorable moments with friends or family. Big selection of games and pleasant atmosphere.

It's a fun place for a snack while playing a board game - many games on the wall shelves. Just pay a small extra fee and play while having your snack.

Love coming to board. Staff are always so helpful and are always willing to give recommendations and help you get set up when trying new games. They also offer a good selection of games to purchase at competitive prices. Frozen raspberry mojito also a firm favourite of ours along with the sweet

Food was okay, however there were limited options. We ordered our meals and one didn't come out until the others had eaten theirs so felt put off eating when everyone was finished. They did offer money off that item. Atmosphere was great and seemed like everyone was having a great time. Games were good, but seemed that there were some limited options for older children, but did notice a few for younger kids. We played exploding kittens, herd mentality and the meme game. Servers were good and did apologize about our food and we're happy to help with any games if we needed it. Overall a nice experience and a great idea, not sure I would opt for food and drinks next time.

Fun and good food. Would recommend they use a solvent for wiping down old games as it would remove so much more ink and look less used though. It was a game for us alone wiping down the cards.

I love coming to Board for a chilled night out with friends. Lots of games to choose from, food is cooked fresh, and large portions. The staff are always really friendly and helpful. Such a gem to have found in Exeter!

This is a great novelty social experience and opportunity to try new games without having to commit to buying! The food was great, if a bit pricey - lot of options though from full meals, to snacks and even alcoholic drinks. Staff are friendly and always keen to suggest games or explain how to play them.Spent the full three hours there! I recommend the game "Takenoko". Also if you're a student don't forget to cash in on the 10% discount on food!

Great place, helpful staff. Tons of games. Knocked a star off as they don't stock any non alcohol beer.

Great place to come with friends. Lots of board games to chose from, just wish we could have stayed longer than assigned 3 hours. Ordered new drinks and then 5 mins later was told our table was needed in 10 mins!! Will still be back though!

Wide range of games to play, food and drinks (including alcohol) to choose from and very accommodating to our larger group.

Traveled quite far to go here. Very disappointed which is a real shame as the concept is a good.We ordered 4 meals only 2 was served. Once we asked for the other 2 they went back to cook them. We then had to return one Burger which was really Raw in the middle but our child ate quite a lot as to young to notice but stopped eating it as it tasted funny to her.I noticed as wanted to try it, it put me and my daughter off completely when we seen how raw it was .30 mins later one of the missing meals came out. Another really Raw double Burger for my other child, which we instantly returned. 30 mins later the cheese toasty arrived by this time we all felt sick, maybe the thought of our daughter eating a Raw Burger.The guy who cooked it was really embarrassed, but the annoying part it the lady told him not to worry when he apologised “as it happens to all of us”We really don’t write reviews unless it’s real bad. We are so disappointed and don’t like to complain or confront issues.After leaving and the 2 hour drive home I felt like we should not of payed the £60 and is kicking myself the whole drive that we did not complain or refuse to pay. Looking back the whole experience ruined our day.I felt the there was no sympathy from the lady behind the counter.My child is traumatised and probably won’t eat out again.We did receive the raw burger for free.Let hope this is a one off and some training is provided to the chef to prevent this again.PS, the UNO card pack is mouldy and needs replacing. Also could do with some hand sanitiser on the tables.

My husband and I visited with my 10 year old. The staff were super friendly and helpful,very busy but didn't ever make you feel rushed and customer service was fantastic.Great selection of games and we enjoyed browsing the different choices.Food was delicious but very expensive for what comes on the plate, this was only minor complaint as spent a lot of money on food/entry for something you could technically do at home for free! The novelty, friendliness of the staff and atmosphere made it worthwhile however and was a perfect rainy day activity ?

A really lovely, warm and welcoming board game cafe with plenty of choice.The games are well organised and lots of care and thought has gone into the selection.The staff are so lovely too, which absolutely creates a wonderful atmosphere where you can hunker down and play your board games.We were also really impressed with the food.Great place, highly recommended and will be back!Krystal

Great in all senses: food was tasty, the waiters were at hand when needed, kind and knowledgeable about the games, and it has a great atmosphere. Came back for the ice cream that same week, it's huge and delicious.
