Game night tips for Montreal

Planning game night in Montreal? Start here:

• Check the events calendar at Le Boutique Tabletop. Tournaments, learn-to-plays, designer nights — the calendar is where the community lives.
• Check the games library size. The shelf tells you everything. A hundred games means a real venue; a dozen means a café with a shelf.
• Respect the components. Sleeved cards, no drinks on the table edge, pieces back in the box. Treat the library like it's yours.
• Don't bring your own games (usually). The library is the point. Some venues welcome outside games; ask first rather than assuming.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Montreal — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new board game café in Montreal can take a while to appear. For board game cafés we also seed from Foursquare's venue directory, since cafés are poorly tagged on the map. If you spot one of the 1 that's closed, or a great board game café we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

We don't list cover charges or menus — those change. What we list is the where: real venues from community mapping and Foursquare, with no favourites.

If you run one of the 1 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
