Board Game & Play Cafés in Cardiff
There's just the one board game café to know about here, but it does the job well. Chance & Counters sits right in Cardiff, charging from £2.50 to get a table, with over 700 games to choose from. Order pizza or a pint while you play, and there's a "gaming guru" on hand to teach you the rules of whatever you've picked off the shelf. It's set up for ages up to 14, so it suits families with older kids more than toddlers, who might struggle to sit through a proper game. There's indoor seating throughout, food and drink on site, and dogs are welcome too. It's a good pick for a birthday party or a rainy afternoon, and it's allergy aware if anyone at the table has dietary needs to plan around.
