Prices increased (different from their menu) but they didn't update the menu. The female staff was very friendly and helpful whilst 1 male staff couldn't care less when we asked for help

There were any bigger tables to accommodate a big game like Dead Of Winter, place was extremely noisy. Still it provided my friends and I a place to play, however we didn't know that we weren't able to extend our time therefore we had to cut our game half way.

The price is a bit expensive for a group of friends T^T . Maybe a group price will be great (eg $30 for 4h on weekends for 5 people :)

Range of games but there were many that weren't functional due to missing pieces and thus couldn't be played. The food was ok. Affordable, at least.

The collection of board games is awesome. They can improve a bit on the service. I guess due to peak time they were not able to serve everyone on time.

There was lack of experience staffs. Staff should be more friendly and take the initiative to introduce games to people. There was lots of interesting games, but staffs only know a few easy board game.

Value deal on a weekend, including free flow drinks and 4 hrs. could have done better by letting us play more hyper games as a warm up instead.

Friendly staff, interesting concept.. My hubby and I had a very gd time there. The set meals are totally worth it.. Though the iced latte I had was watery and tasteless... Better go for a hot drink next time I think. The chicken lasagna we had was too good... Bursting with flavours.. But the cheese baked rice was a huge let down as it had not salt at all. An awesome place to spend hours having fun.

Since it was a weekday evening, the place was empty and the counter staffs were engaged in their own board game; which I think is good since it allows them to be acquainted with the games and can make better recommendation to other customers. However, service became poor. Infact, it was missing. We had to walk over to their table to place our food order, and when the kitchen 'ding' that the food was ready, the counter staff actually made a 'tsk' sound and shouted for his friend to hold the game. It just made us, paying customers, feel like we are interrupting his game. We had to ask for our cups so we can get our free-flow house pour. Other customers that walked in were merely pointed to an empty table, without the counter staff even standing up to address the customers. Pro: Good selection of games, including light party fun games as well as full board games (ie: Arkham horror).

My boyfriend and I went there at 8:30 and were told soon after that there were no more drinks beside ice lemon tea and maybe coke float. When we requested for help on how to play a few games, the waiter did not know any of the games. The aircon in the couch room was also spoiled. Lastly, there are way too little 2 player games.

Booked for 5 but when I wanted to call to add an additional person, their hotline directed me to make a booking instead. Would have given a rating of 6 but because of that I'm giving a 5. They gave me seats for 6 but I myself would want to avoid such last minute changes by calling and informing them. Nevertheless it was a great time there with a huge variety of board games, some sets are getting old so if it's changed soon it would be even better.

Great place for big groups. We got the private corner which had a minimum spend of $200. Food was surprisingly tasty - expect fried tasty finger food. The games were comprehensive - but maybe not so much for big groups of 10. The condition of the games could have been better. But it was an overall pleasant experience.
