New Board Game Cafe Opening in Philly With More Than 1,000 Games - Eater Philly

"Queen & Rook will open later this summer just off South Street, in what was long-running Japanese restaurant Hikaru. The Queen Village spot, from couple Edward Garcia and Jeannie Wong, will have more than a thousand new and retro board games and role-playing games, reports Philly Mag, with most available for playing on-site and some offered for sale. Garcia tells the magazine he’s picturing it as a family-friendly venue during the day, with more of a date night vibe after dark." - Rachel Vigoda

So I can from Georgia to actually play DnD with my online friends that I have known for YEARS. We went to this location to be nerdy and found out the store was close even thought it said on the sign they were opened for another few hours. We went to the restaurant next door (that they own)to ask and actually one of the managers or board masters (IDK I FORGOT) explained that the heating wasn't working but he could let us in for a little! The store is a little small but they had a GREAT selection of DnD, board games, etc. The man was knowledgeable and SO NICE. Got several items for my trip home and I was just so impressed with the kindness and appeal this place had to offer.
