I was taken here by some friends for a sort of going away party and it's a pretty neat place.

I was taken here by some friends for a sort of going away party and it's a pretty neat place. You pay a small entry fee and you can play all the board games you want; and they have almost every game you can think of and some. The food and drinks are pretty good too. I had the "pandemic punch" and a "Charmander", and one of my friends ordered one of their shareable charcuterie boards for the table. It was called "The Flux" and had a little of everything from all the other different charcuterie board options: Candy, fruits, veggies, meats, cheeses, crackers and ranch dip. We had a good time, and I actually ended up enjoying the game we played so much (Carcassonne) that I stepped over to the retail side of the place and bought a copy of it before we left. It was a bit on the pricey side for a board game, but I wasn't forced to buy it and really just wanted a keepsake for the memory. So, even if you don't buy a game to keep it is still a really fun place to go. And with all the different types of games and the chill atmosphere, it's a pretty good place to go with friends or family. Show less

I'm not the typical customer here because I went to play the pinball machines instead of get into a board game or something like that. But this place basically has everything you would need to hang out for an entire afternoon without getting bored or hungry or thirsty. All the machines they have there are in top shape and I had a lot of fun playing them. I have just one small complaint and that is that usually with new Stern machines you can get three games when you put in $2, but it was a dollar a game. Every machine that's fine, but that just means I would probably go somewhere else to play Pinball when I was in Columbia visiting. Otherwise this is a completely solid place and I'm glad they are doing so well. Show less

Husband and I come here with friends all the time, we love it!! Super relaxed environment, welcoming and inclusive, family friendly, LGBTQ+ friendly, great first date spot. And huge board game selection! Wouldn't necessarily come for a full meal, food is a bit pricey but still tasty! We love all the events and community for trading card games and TTRPGs. We're big MTG fans, and we really appreciate how intentional they are about not letting scalpers buy up every deck during commander releases. Show less

My partner and I were in town for the True/False film festival, and decided to stop in at Hexagon Alley the day after the fest to "recover" from long days and lots of walking. We stayed for nearly 6 hours, and played several different games from their library. To put it simply, we had a great time! 🙂 The employees were friendly and helpful, but let us be after we understood how things worked. 🚽 The bathrooms are nice and clean. 🎲 All of the games are well inventoried and in good, playable condition. 🥪 We had the Mousetrap (with turkey) and the Concordia. We enjoyed both, but the Concordia was a clear winner for us in terms of taste! Both sandwiches were made from fresh ingredients, and we really appreciated the incredibly safe food handling we witnessed. 🥤My partner enjoyed their bucket deal for canned cocktails/beers. I had a flavored water from their cooler and enjoyed the Splendor cocktail. While not a "traditional" espresso martini, it was by far one of the best mixed drinks I had during our time in CoMO. 💲We personally found all of the pricing to be very fair. We felt that the welcoming space, good food, varied drink selection, and ample playable games were well worth the money we spent. We'd happily spend just as much on future visits, as it's very clear that they put their profits to good use maintaining the space and keeping it well-staffed. The only downside is that Hexagon Alley is so far away from where we live! We will definitely be back on our next visit to central Missouri. Show less

Lots of games to choose from, it’s a little overwhelming but they will gladly suggest a game to try. The shareable’s have a good variety and plenty of snacks to last a small group for awhile. The side table trays are good for holding the shareable’s while you play. The tables didn’t really provide for space until the side tables were brought out. Game play fee is reasonable and kids 12 and under are free. It is easy to run up a tab with beverages and snacks if you’re not careful. It’s a pretty cool concept and everyone is very friendly. Kid friendly too, which is difficult to find in Columbia. We enjoyed our time there and will be going back. Show less

Columbia's newest hidden gem!! This wonderful board game cafe allows you to pay $5 for unlimited all day play of the board games they have there. And there are at least a hundred of them! There is great variety in the games they have, and if you really like a game, chances are, you can buy one for yourself from their assortment of new board games that are available for purchase! I was talking to Colleen the owner (sorry if i spelled it wrong!), and the origin story of the board game cafe is very cute! Pretty much, Colleen loved playing board games with her room mate in college, and was disappointed that there weren't really places around Columbia that tailored to people like her and her roommate, who preferred board games as a source of entertainment over going to bars. Well, now she's changed that, and the board game cafe she's made is very inviting and a great way to meet others who also love to play board games! Additionally, there are plenty of snack options and some sandwiches you can buy, so you don't have to cut a game short to go get food somewhere else. There are events scheduled throughout the month, some of them including days to paint minis, days to learn how to play board games, and days where they invite board game developers to test their board games with interested customers! There are plenty more events and these events can be seen on the website. Right now, they are in the process of expanding to make more spaces to play board games, and talking to one of the employees there, it seems they might be making private game rooms that can be reserved for Dnd groups! If you're looking for a fun affordable place to hang out with friends and have a good time, this is the place to do it!! Show less

If you love board and card games, this place might be your vibe. 🎲🃏 But if you’re here for pinball, prepare to be treated like a second-class guest. We ordered beers and asked where the pinball machines were—the male bartender sighed and told us they were around the corner. The coin machine only takes $1s, $5s, and $10s, and we only had a $20. When my partner asked for change, the female bartender was about to help until the male stepped in and said it wasn’t allowed—told us to use the ATM instead. 🙄 We finished our drinks and left. #PinballPlayersDeserveBetter #Disappointed #GreatGamesLousyVibes Show less
