Pineapple Games — Restaurant in Tokyo

If you're in Tokyo and love board games, this store is an absolute must-visit! My wife and I had the pleasure of stopping by, and we were lucky enough to meet the owner—a truly passionate and welcoming game creator.

Not only did he take the time to introduce us to his own game, but he also explained the rules in a way that was both fun and easy to understand.

Would recommend. I hope we can return during the few days left we...

Almost identical to a previous review, my family recently went to Japan, and on my list of things to do was to purchase at least one Japanese card/board game. We got there not long after opening hours on a weekday and Hiroki, the store manager, was more than welcoming and is bilingual, so it made my requests easier to communicate. He showed us his game, Copycat Meow and even took the time to show me and my sons how to play, sitting us down at a table and playing through the various situations the game could throw up. It was a really nice space and would be a great place to spend time playing. Hiroki was friendly and helpful and we even got a photo with him and his game (which is now...
