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.

Great board game cafe in the heart of COMO. Enjoy great cocktails, coffee, tea and some great shareable plates as you discover your new favorite game from their library of over 100 games. From simple card and kids games, to expansive epics - you’ll get to try something new each visit. Can’t wait to come back!

My friend and I came up here for a card tournament, and the place was just amazing. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was family friendly, well-lit and clean, there is plenty of table space, and all of the other players were very welcoming and friendly. They have a very nice selection of products to pick from, great prices, and I highly recommend the food when you come here.

This place is great! I love the use of space - buy games, play games, buy brews or buy food! Tasty food, friendly staff! I had the mousetrap and a draft sour. Yum!!

So much fun! They have a large selection of games that are very well maintained. Paper is laminated and dry erase markers are included so you can replay games like Clue. Lots of option for food and beverages. The atmosphere is chill and fun. Honestly, this probably my new favorite hang out spit in Columbia. If you like board games, card games, or just looking for wholesome fun, this is a must-try!

This is my husband and I’s go-to place when we want to get out of the house or hang out with a large group of friends! The 5 game play fee is affordable and totally worth it for the massive game selection. I usually get a yummy hot coffee drink or chai when we visit. The employees are super pleasant and knowledgeable about the games. I have also been to puppy yoga in the back room! So happy to have this business in our town.

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!!

My new absolute favorite thing to do downtown! A great place to just chill and have fun with friends. They also have a pretty good selection of food and games to purchase!
