Meeples Board Game Cafe

This new branch is located in PJ and it’s big. I like how the layout is spacious, even for a group of 25. We kinda dominated one of the nights there because we were the largest group and the loudest of course.
They have a big variety of board game selections much like their other stores. The brightly lit environment is also very inviting. The staffs are friendly and would not hesitate to teach you a new game to play if there’s a need for it. And if you do get hungry they do serve tidbits and refreshments.
On top just playing, they do sell their board games too. And being a member you get 10% off every time you play or buy. It’s worth it if you plan to buy lots of board games in the long run.

Meeples is a great place to just hangout with a bunch of friends and play a variety of different board games that you have never seen before in your entire life. What’s great about it is that the staff actually knows their games although there must be hundreds of games there. You could ask them for a long game or a short game or whatever type of game you feel like playing. They will find something to cater for your needs. It’s fun if there’s at least 4 people playing because then you can play more intense games. It’s only rm5 per hour but before you know it, 4 hours will pass just like that! They serve some food as well which is decent such as chicken nuggets to feed your stomach while your playing.

We went to the Meeple in SS15 first before coming to this Meeple X in Kota Damansara. The first time we went there, it was empty! We had the whole place to ourselves. Only later in the night the crowd started coming in. The staff were really good at recommending games and we had a fun time! One of the staff who helped us by explaining the games to us, joined us in the game as he was quite free when there were not many customers.
We contemplated of becoming a member as we did go quite often. However, the membership fees was RM70 for a year and we get a discount of RM2 per hour we played. So we’ve decided not to, as we thought we weren’t gonna visit that often to justify the membership fees.
On a separate visit when we were contemplating of buying one of the extension pack for a boardgame, we were told that the RM70 includes 10 free playing hours. They apologised for not making it clear to us the previous time and offered us an additional of 4 hours for free! That’s some really awesome customer service shown!
Besides that, when we were ordering some snacks to go with the game. The staff noticed that we wanted nachos and he quickly informed us that we can get a free bowl of nachos just by taking photos and hashtagging MeepleX. It was such a thoughtful and nice gesture.
Highly recommended! Super fun!

This was the Kota Damansara branch that we preferred over the branch in Subang Jaya. According to the manager, they were no longer affiliated and have parted ways to run the café their own way.
Reason of me liking this branch over the other was because firstly it’s easier to get parking over here and we do not have to walk so far or risk double parking. We usually managed to get parking right in front of the boardgame café or just opposite the road. Secondly, it is more spacious here. It doesn’t feel as crowded as the other branch even when the café is filled with customers. Oh, and better customer service too.
The only downside, which I heard from staff that they were considering to change, was their timing. They only open from 6pm till 1am daily, even during weekends. We feedback to the staff requesting for opening hours to be earlier on weekends and they did mention that the management is considering that option.

Have you ever experienced where your group of friends wanna do aomething but nothing too extreme nor expensive after dinner? If yes, drop by Meeples Café. This was the exact solution to our problems. We just wanted to laze around and not do anything physical; thus, boardgames was the answer.
Down the lane near to Taylor’s College Subang Jaya, students, families and couples can be seen enjoyong themselves playinf boardgames and card games. If halfway your stomach is rumbling, no worries, with their sinful yet delicious Humpty Dumpty, one can enjoy the the fine streaky bacon with cheese.
If you wanna try games you are unfamiliar with but heard of it from somewhere, Meeples Café is your one stop destination for a fun time!

It has been a while since I played board games. Working life has took me away from my once favourite pastimes.
Just so happened I came across a new board game called ‘Cards Against Humanity’ and was interested in getting it. So I decided to drop by Meeples @ Kota Damansara to purchase a set.
What I didn’t know of their opening hours. Just when I finally walked up a flight of stairs, the sign said close. I reached about 5.55pm and realised their opening hours is from 6pm-​1am. I rang the buzzer and a lady came. She said to come back later but it is just five mins away and told her I want to buy the game.
She did not respond and shut the door in front of my face. I decided to find other means to acquire the board game that I was looking for.
