Great experience for our anniversary! The staff were friendly, interested in what we were playing, more than willing to suggest a game, knowledgeable, and very attentive. Game selection was great and the food choices were fun and fit the vibe. My husband LOVED that there was cereal on the menu and we adopted a ducky named Count Duckula who will guard our games collection at home and wait for more ducky buddies that are sure to follow! We will definitely be back again! Show less

Wow! I had such a fantastic time at Turquoise Goat! Wednesdays are student discount night, so take advantage of that if you're in university. BOOK AHEAD! It costs nothing to make a reservation and it will absolutely guarantee you a spot. I unfortunately saw a few people get turned away due to capacity limits. There were so many games to choose from. We played Exploding Kittens, Sabobatage, Wizard Thieves, and Coop. We liked Wizard Thieves so much, we bought a copy to take home! Wizard Thieves is also by a local artist! Food and drink was pricey, but they do not ask for tips as they pay their employees a living wage, so it works out about the same as what you would pay at most casual sit-down restaurants. I got the Lucky Duck drink and it was SO YUMMY! We also split chicken and fries, it was good but pretty standard, nothing crazy. All employees were super nice and helpful. Most of our games were recommended by a game steward. Definitely worth it to come here! Entry is a good price, but take into account food and drink costs and plan ahead. Loved it! Show less

Highly recommend for all boardgame lovers! For $10/person entrance for 3 hours, this is a great way to spend the afternoon. The staff are attentive and nice and even teach you how to play the games so you don’t need to read the instructions!! Bonus points for the store paying their employees a living wage (customers are not required to tip) and accessible washrooms. There are many games and the staff ensure all pieces are accounted for after each game - great attention to detail. We got some food to eat: chicken strips and waffle fries, soup, tea, hot chocolate and zucchini chocolate loaf. The food was average but good to nibble on. We played Photosynthesis and Hues & Cues, we liked them both. Looking forward to coming again! Show less

Great place to hang out and try boardgames before buying! Decent price of $10 for 3 hours per person with a variety of food, drinks, and snacks for purchase. Highly recommended to make a reservation! Service is very friendly and attentive. They are so patient and will explain a game with all its rules to you so you can get playing faster. Love that tips are not required as they are all paid a living wage. I recommend their lucky duck drink as it comes with an adoptable lil duck for a souvenir! Their buttermilk pancakes are delicious and fries are satisfying to snack on while playing. We played Pandemic and Ticket to Ride! Super fun and can't wait to come again. Show less
