Such an amazing boardgame cafe with lots of games and friendly people. I LOVE all the things they have for sale and bought more than I should have lol

Village Meeple is an absolute gem for board game enthusiasts. The welcoming atmosphere sets the tone right away, and I really appreciated being allowed to look around before committing to the fee. Their snack selection was great, and the sheer variety of board games was incredible—there’s something for everyone. They even offer a private room you can rent, which is such a cool option for group game nights. I’m definitely planning to come here often!

Our family visited Village Meeple for the first time today and had an absolute blast. Our family favorite was Caution Signs. We were really impressed with how fun & cozy the playing areas were and the selection of games is incredible. The owners made excellent game recommendations and we will definitely be going back soon!!

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.

I went here on a Saturday night with my kid. It’s one of the few affordable, family-friendly places that are open late on a weekend, which is a plus in my book.

It’s $5 admission for each person - with re-entry as needed. They also have a 10x pass, which can be shared among family or friends to save a little money.

There’s an abundance of snacks, drinks, games, and game accessories by the front in case you need something.

Since they have a large collection of games for different ages and interests, I asked the owner for recommendations. She was so knowledgeable and I could feel her joy for games as she went thru the shelves picking selections for us.

We ended up playing Castle Panic and my kid was sad to leave before we could finish the game. We will definitely be back again!

Wife and I spent a Friday evening here playing trivia and then a two player game (Splendor Duel). They have a great set up and everyone is really nice. Will definitely be back and hoping to bring friends next time too!

Really cool place! I've been wishing Springfield had a boardgame cafe and this place doesn't disappoint. Very bright, very comfy, my home-y. It has a second floor, and plenty of semi private space for groups. Love what they did with the space. We're looking forward to coming back again and again!

What an awesome new venue in Springfield! Huge variety of games, the staff was so friendly and helpful, and lots of different places to play for whatever size group you have. Can’t wait to come back.
