Some questions keep coming up – here you will find the answers! If you still have remaining questions, do not hesitate to contact us via mail or phone. You will also find specific questions regarding food, our Flea Market and anything regarding larger groups.

WHAT ARE YOUR OPENING HOURS?

Tuesday to Friday from 5p.m. till 11p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 3p.m. till 11p.m.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND OTHER CAFES THAT ARE PROVIDING BOARD GAMES?

Playing is our main concern: we offer a wide variety of games, from the good old classics to currently released stuff. We are happy to help you find new games and some of our staff members are specifically here to explain the rules in person, so you don’t have to waste any time reading them.

ARE THERE SPECIFIC CORONA REGULATIONS?

The Corona virus made the stay in our café even more exciting than it already was. Thanks for that. You can find all information regarding the regulations here.

DO I HAVE TO RESERVE A TABLE?

Yasss, Queen. Currently you can only visit us with a reservation. Here you will find all the details. When you send a request for a reservation, please wait for an e-mail for confirmation. If you would like to change an existing reservation or realize that you will arrive much later, please call us during opening hours (phone number: 040-1800 7959).

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO PLAY?

For 6 Euros per person you can play as long and much as you want. Children and teenager until the age of 14 pay 5 Euros. If you are (at least) six people in one group, you get a 1 Euro discount. If you only want to have coffee and cake, but pass on playing, you do not need to pay the fee. We also offer a discount card for people visiting frequently.

You can find further information how it works here.

CAN I PAY WITH CARD?

Yes, you can pay either cash or with card.

IS THERE A DISCOUNT FOR FREQUENT VISITORS?

We offer a discount card for frequent visitors. Every time you pay the fee you get one stamp. As soon as you have six stamps, the next visit will be for free. When you have another six stamps, you and someone you bring along will be playing for free. Just ask for the discount card the next time you are around.

ARE YOU OPEN ON NATIONAL HOLIDAYS?

Usually we are also open on national holidays, as long as it isn’t legally binding to close. Information about the next holiday will always be on our starting page.

No, unfortunately the reservation of games is not possible.

CAN I BRING MY OWN GAMES?

You certainly can do so, though the fee will still be charged.

We have plenty of games in numerous languages. Our staff partly speaks English. If other languages are required, we will use every part of our bodies to explain the rules. Don’t hesitate, just come along!

I AM A GAME AUTHOR. CAN I BRING BY A PROTOTYPE FOR TEST PURPOSES?

It is absolutely not permitted to bring own food and drinks to the café. Should we be noticing that guests are bringing their own food and drinks, we will charge a corkage fee.

I CAN'T FIND ANY HARD LIQUOR ON THE MENU. CAN I BRING MY OWN?

We deliberately do not serve hard liquor in our café. Hence, bringing it is not permitted. We value playing games and cosy togetherness; therefore, our offer is limited to (craft-)beer, cider, and wine.

HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN I BRING?

Currently ten people per group are allowed to visit.

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO I HAVE TO MAKE A RESERVATION?

As soon as possible, since we have only limited capacities due to Corona.

CAN I HAVE MY BIRTHDAY OR OFFICE PARTY AT YOUR CAFÉ?

Technically yes. However, due to the current situation the groups must not be bigger than ten people.

Of course we cancel the reservations without any fee, if the regulations have not changed until then.
