Meeple Valley Board Game Cafe LLC — Attraction in Modesto

I am a (in)frequent customer of Meeple Valley. I started visiting for the board games but kept visiting for those Tony's microwaveable pizzas. They taste like childhood. And what better place to enjoy the taste of childhood than a place where you can re-experience the joys first introduced during childhood? They sell everything from the classics to the most complex RPGs you've ever heard about. They have accessories, dice, card sleeves, miniatures, game-piece upgrades, 3D printed trinkets which support another small business, all kinds of things. Personally, I'm a fan of Star Wars: Unlimited, a game for which they host in-house tournaments. Not to mention they have an overwhelming amount of games in their rental library, even some for toddlers. They host monthly RPG sessions with guest dungeon masters. They sponsor events alongside USS Balthazar that support local charity organizations like the Board Game Extravaganza; my wife and I had a great time getting to test new game ideas and dipping our toes in D&D.

A stranger and I jumped into a game within 15 minutes of walking through the door this busy Saturday. Highly recommend Tokaido Duo as a fast-to-learn, fast-paced game for two players. Two first-time players went from unsealing the box to first play through in about an hour. Appropriately enough, it...

Absolutely fantastic local game store! For $7 you can come in and play board games all day long, using their broad board game library. The AC is rock solid, so it's super comfortable in there

If you're looking to get into DnD (Dungeons and Dragons) or any other tabletop role playing games, this is the BEST place in town, hands down. Go join their Discord that's listed on their website, there are DMs constantly recruiting to play games, mostly in the 5e DnD system.

If you're nervous about playing because you're afraid that players won't be welcoming to someone brand new, don't worry at all, everyone is extremely supportive

10/10 place, I'm here at least once a week to play DnD games with...
