Ask the Game Librarian

Hundreds of games on the shelves is brilliant — until you’re stood in front of them. Tell us the table and we’ll deal you a shortlist.

How many of you?
How long have you got?
What’s the vibe?

…plus hundreds more on the shelves. Not sure? Ask at the counter — matchmaking people with games is genuinely our favourite bit of the job.

The kettle’s always on

It’s a games café — the coffee matters. Keep the table fuelled while the dice do their worst.
