Yahtzee! 6 places to play board games in Las Vegas Valley
Are you bored of playing board games at your kitchen table? Need to disconnect for a while? Think outside the box with one of these cafes or stores perfect for those friendly game nights.
Meepleville Board Game Cafe
Meepleville, at Sahara Avenue and Decatur Boulevard, is the ultimate board game cafe experience. Customers can select from shelves of over 2,600 available games, from backgammon to Catan to Machi Koro.
It sells adult beverages, burgers and sweets to sate the appetite you build up while negotiating for wheat or brick (if you know, you know).
Meepleville charges a $10 fee that covers your stay all day and lets you try any game. The cafe’s Game Gurus are also available to recommend and teach you new games from the cafe’s library.
Knight & Day Games
This store in Town Square offers a space to play tabletop games. Like Meepleville, customers pay a cover charge to use the library of available games. It also has memberships, for $20 or $30 a month, that give customers unlimited access to the board game library and discounts on tournaments.
Knight & Day Games holds regular events for specific games, so give them a call before heading there with friends to play a game.
