Probably one of the biggest stores I've been to that balances play tables and product. Parking can…read morebe an issue on busy days as there are only a limited number of stalls around the building, however there is a lot of street parking depending on the day in the community behind it. The gentleman at the MTG area in the front was nice and friendly when we entered and we were amazed to see how many people were playing on the tables that day. Was really impressed by the amount of tables available to sit down and find someone to play. The bar was even cooler and I'm sure gets used quite a bit on tournament days. Definitely a must stop if you're into TCG and table top games in Houston

We honestly look forward to them coming closer to the city so we can support them more easily.

Store has large gaming and hobbying area, including paint stations with free to try paints. #1 place in Texas (only legit place) to get Monument Hobby Paints (best in the business). Terrain is the greatest Ive ever seen out of the dozen or so stores in Houston, they have no equal guaranteed. The community is very open and inviting (and you don't have to worry about Gamer Funk...if you smell what I mean lol). The community at this store is non-cliquey, unlike most stores in Houston. Meaning, if you don't play game A or B, then you are ignored. Not at Board and Brew; they are welcoming for everyone and the crowd regularly try each others games out. Been here for 11 years and this is by far the highest quality community and staff.

I first learned about this spot through my sister, as she and her boyfriend are huge board game…read moreenthusiasts. Whenever they invite me here, it is hard to say no. It is such a cozy and welcoming café, and I always enjoy spending a few hours getting immersed in different board games. The concept alone makes this place a fun and unique destination. That being said, while I love the atmosphere and experience, I do not think the drinks are particularly impressive. In fact, I would consider them below average compared to other cafés in the area. The iced matcha latte tasted noticeably low quality, and the hibiscus tea was reminiscent of feet. The only drink I have consistently enjoyed has been the iced chai latte, which was flavorful and well balanced. The food, however, is a different story. I have generally had much better experiences with the food than with the beverages, making it a better option if you are looking for something to snack on while playing games. If your main goal is to enjoy the board game selection and spend time with friends, I would recommend ordering food rather than coming specifically for the drinks. Overall, this place shines because of its atmosphere, board game collection, and the experience it offers. While the beverages leave something to be desired, the fun environment and solid food options keep me coming back.

Fantastic cafe! Such a gem in the area…read more Vibe? Immaculate. Employees? So kind! Coffee? Delicious and *very* reasonably priced, especially considering the quality you get. I also appreciate that it's one of the few coffee shops that will still serve your drink in an actual mug instead of a disposable cup. It's becoming a rare luxury these days, unfortunately. Food? Also quite good! I've only tried a blueberry muffin but it was very tasty dipped in my flat white. The only downside I've encountered at this place is.... The parking. No way around it, it's terrible. The roads are narrow, the extremely tiny parking lot behind the building is narrow, and the side of the building parking is limited. I've had times where I gave up trying to get a coffee here unfortunately because the parking was such a mess. Overall, I love taking a break in here and enjoying a drink and snack surrounded by gaming themed decor :D I only hope one day they're able to expand their parking situation so it's more accessible.

While I was test-sleeving the cards I met with the store general manager Ken and Derek, one of the managers. Gave Derek a KL starter. He and Ken were extremely professional and hospitable. We also had an amazing and fruitful gameR chat. The store is amazing, well-stocked, clean. The management also makes sure that noise level from players talking is kept in control. I came back the next day to buy more card sleeves. Another store employee was there to take care of me. She was likewise amazing. A great gaming store for gamers who wish to have fun and rest.

I LOVE this store!!! I've been shopping here for a few years…read moreto buy birthday & Christmas gifts for my awesome brother who LOVES board games, Magic, Star Wars, D&D, etc.! Every time I walk in this store an employee is always eager and happy to help and my brother LOVES everything I have got him from Ettin Games and Hobbies! While my brother is a MUCH MORE Magic: The Gathering player, I am not and I do not have much experience playing Magic. I almost always lose. My brother asked me to play a commander game with me and showed me which cards to play and way and I ended up winning for my first time so I guess I got the "bug" for playing it. Remembering that Ettin Games sells Magic cards & etc., I looked them up on their website and read their event calendar. When I see that they do commander casual play, it peaked my interest so I called to ask about their events. When I called, I first spoke to a SUPER nice and helpful employee named CJ who explained their events to me. I explained that I would like some help learning how to play Magic: The Gathering; that I'm not very good at playing it; and I don't have much experience. CJ told me that every week, they have players that come and LOVE to work with and help new players play MTG and that, also, their "Magic Guy", Willie would be there and that Willie plays MTG and loves to help other players as well. I was told that Willie would help me put together a White deck and BOY did he!!! I was SO EXCITED and grateful!! I meet several REALLY COOL people (2 of which helped me ALOT). Both Willie and another player let me play their decks and try them out! I had SO MUCH FUN!!! Willie put together a really nice white deck for me that I'm SUPER EXCITED to try out!! I can't wait to go back next Thursday!!! I'm also SUPER EXCITED about my new "Black Widow" playing mat and sleeves!!
