    A few customers playing Cardfight Vanguard

    Good place to hangout in the afternoons, I personally come to play card games and relax and have fun conversations. The place is fairly easy to find and get to once off the R train. My only problem is it is a cash only place but I've learned to live with that. I recommend this place to all my friends and anyone looking for a place to place video and card games.

    A friend took me here sort of for a faux date and a tournament The place is a bit small and the day we went was outrageously hot. But they turned on the AC a bit later. I got in for free- so I can't say much about the prices. I was the only female there are the time, so it was nice of them to just let me in. The game selection is a bit limited, but it was probably due to the tournament. Everyone was really nice except for one guy. But he was a fellow costumer. Everything is free play so you don't need to worry about quarters. All in all it was good wholesome fun. Nobody was outrageously rude and everyone is mild mannered and they're having fun. At one point we had a black out. They were quick to fix the situation and apologized. 4 stars only because it's extremely tiny.

    I like that this is a little niche in the wall. It's kinda grungy and dim from the outside which is pretty cool. Walking inside it's a galore of adorable nerds playing board games and video games. There's a sea of cool collector cards and great refreshments to choose from. The employee seemed really cool and attentive to my needs and questions. It's somewhat spacious and awesome for making new potential friends!

    People in the front desk are kind and helpful, but I didn't like the store owner for his condescending attitude.

First, if you're planning to come here on the weekend, RESERVE YOUR SPOT ONLINE AHEAD OF TIME!!! And I'll tell you why... My friends and I decided on Friday afternoon that we wanted to come here the next day (Saturday). Me, being the planning-type person that I am, immediately hopped onto their website. I found a tab for "reservations", so I checked it out as I had a feeling that they might be pretty busy on the weekend. Sure enough, for our group of 6, they only had availability between 11am and 4:45pm or at 9pm. That was it! We were hoping for an evening slot, but we all decided to settle on the 4:45pm slot and just go have dinner afterwards. Before continuing, it's important to note that each person pays $17 for unlimited use of the board games for a 3-hour duration. When booking online, you have to pay for the entire group's "game time pay" up front in order to get the reservation. So, since it was 6 of us, I went ahead and paid $102 to secure our spot. **They are clear that they do NOT do refunds so make sure you can actually make the time slot you are booking!! Upon arrival, we gave them my name and they showed us to our reserved table. They gave us some quick instructions on what to do with the games when we were done with them, then they left us to have fun! So why is a reservation important? Because I can't tell you how many people we watched get turned away because they showed up and the place was already at max capacity! Our table happened to be right in front of both the door and the counter, so we watched a constant flow of people walk in and then immediately walk back out. Another important thing to note is that they don't allow outside food or drinks, but they also don't serve food... They have coffee drinks available to order as well as a few smoothie options and bottled/canned beverages. Additionally, they had some bagged chips and a few pastries, but that was it. So if you book a slot during dinner or lunchtime, you might want to ensure you eat beforehand as you won't be eating a meal here. The setup inside was a little chaotic. Very crowded with little space between the tables. Also, the staff seemed to not really care to want to be there. They weren't really attentive to the patrons there nor to each other, for that matter. At one point, the trash can was overflowing and I watched one staff member struggle with it and yelling for help but no one came to assist her... Final verdict: If you love board games, definitely come check this place out!!! Reserve your spot ahead of time and bring at least 3-5 people with you for maximum enjoyment!

    We are visiting NYC from Seattle and decided to give this place a try. We absolutely loved it!!…read more First of all, very friendly greeting when we first arrived. We ordered drinks and they were delicious!! One was made wrong and he fixed it right away and let us keep both. The game room is awesome! The vibe is super chill and the game selection is really awesome. You'll see games you played as a kid as well as all the newest games. It is $15/person to play for 3 hours. We played a version of Ticket to Ride that was new for us. They have food as well and although we didn't order anything but drinks, the food we did see being ordered looked good. The bathroom is clean. The tables and floors are clean and strong air conditioning too! We had a really good time.

While very promising in its…read moreconcept, as modern society is in dire need of more third spaces, Hex and company fails to deliver in every conceivable metric imaginable. I came to this establishment with my boyfriend and things got off to questionable start immediately. The server at the front required us to make a reservation, ok no problem. What's questionable about this is that there was clearly space available for two scrawny people such as ourselves. Whatever, man, do your thing. When the time came for us to get seated we were blindsided by a $15 per person surcharge, what the heck! It would have been courteous to have mentioned that when we made our reservation 45 minutes prior. I realize that one cannot contribute to malice what could also be contributed to stupidity, but it came across as a way of swindling and strong arming us. We tried finding a game of dominoes to play while we waited, but alas, there were none available for purchase at the front counter, no big deal, we were certain we would find a game of dominos in the seating area below as there were multiple gargantuan shelves stacked to the ceiling, filled to the brim, practically bursting with board games, looked great from afar. When the time came for us to sit, an aura of sheer panic and despair began to set in. We couldn't find a single game of dominos, no big deal, we were sure that one of the servers would help us out. PSYCHE! We asked multiple servers to help us find a game of dominoes, and they either didn't help, gave confusing advice or a combination of both, very cool! You would presume that people employed to work at a board game themed cafe would know where certain board games are, but no, not this fine establishment! In fact the organization of the entire establishment was severely lacking. To begin with, the tables where people are engaged in board games are practically pressed against the gargantuan and bursting shelves of board games, this makes browsing extremely truncated! If you are introverted, you may burst into flames because you are forced to hover over strangers and interrupt their board game to get what you're looking for, that is of course if you're lucky enough to find it. For example, a heated game of uno was sheepishly interrupted by a stranger seeking something behind my boyfriend. Every guest is a hostage in this establishment, because of the owner's incompetence, very cool. Since we nor any of the disheveled nerds employed in this establishment could find a game of dominoes, we opted instead to play a game of chess, simple enough right? not at Hex and Company! The first set was missing multiple pieces and was damaged to the point of not being useable, the second was some niche four player "update" of chess, which is an insult in its own right. Third time was the charm though, and we played some good games. The food was pricy but inoffensive. The water service, despite giving patrons agency, was severely lacking in the fact that one could only use the smallest cup imaginable, what the heck! Upon leaving the establishment, a server told me to, and I quote "have a good one" how could I possibly have a good one, when you couldn't even find a game of dominoes for us to play. Absolutely ridiculous, they really rolled a 1 on this one.

I then sold coins and was robbed also. I walked there with 39lbs of items Lou told me he's interested in. Lo and behold, two days after he said that and I lugged it all in. He "no longer has a need for those items". He offered me $50 for a certain coin out of my package. Tried to take it before his employee could value my package. I told him no, leave it with the group of my items and do not separate anything so I can keep a running total. Then he no longer wanted that coin any longer either. I hope he retires and does us all a favor. There's a reason life and nature hasn't been kind to the old geezer. Charlie, one of his employees is actually a decent guy although Lou yells at him and tells him what to do. After waiting an hour for Charlie to arrive, at Lou's direction to wait so he can price the items, Lou just barked orders. God what a POS.
