Village Meeple Board Game Cafe

★★★★★

“What an amazing place!! Went here for a date night and the board game library is unbelievable, every game is color coordinated and easy to sort through based on difficulty, length per round, etc. Their retail selection of games was also top notch. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!”

“This place is so cute. Me and some of my friends hung out here for my birthday. They have drinks and snacks, (and a small food truck). And they have a TON of games. And when I say that, I'm not exaggerating. They're all grouped by different types of games like "classic", "party games", etc. They have different seating available for small or larger parties (we had 9 total, and had to pull up another chair but it worked out). You pay $5 to have a full day pass and play as many games as you want, which you definitely can't beat! A great place to take kiddos to kill some time, especially if you don't want to pay $20-$40 for a specific game that they'll probably play once and never pick back up 😂 They also have a ton of cool games and supplies for all kinds of cool stuff in their gift shop at the front for purchase. Different dice, games, cards, collectors stuff. It's just an all around cool concept for a business. I hope they stick around! I'll be coming back for sure!”

“So excited that Springfield finally has a board game cafe!! This locally owned gem is perfect for date night, family night, or big ole group of friends night, as there are hundreds of games to play and plenty of seats to choose from. They have a nice selection of snacks and beverages (yes, they do have a liquor license) as well as a really interesting selection of locally made gaming accessories for sale. And of course, several of the board games you can play are available for sale so you can take the fun home. The owner is the most enthusiastic board game maven I have ever met and is happy to help you choose a game to play based on your preferences. (Or you can just spin the wheel and let fate decide.) You can also book the private room upstairs for parties, team building, or D&D events. If you love to play games or are looking for some screen-free family time, Village Meeple Board Game Cafe will become your new favorite hangout. Admission is a paltry $5 per person, and punch cards are also available.”

“The Village Meeple has become a favorite with students at Missouri State University! They have a wonderful, affordable and clean establishment with an amazing variety of games and activities. Their staff is super attentive and were amazing at the craft fair we hosted in December. Students absolutely adore the aesthetic environment, reasonable prices, and the community engagement that the Village Meeple does for Springfield. This is definitely something you should stop by and check out!”
