Board game cafés in Orlando

Board game cafés are the best cheap night out going. Orlando, FL has 1 mapped spots right now. Just the one mapped spot in Orlando for now — check whether it's a café with a games library or a shop, and whether you need to book a table. Ask about the games library — the size of the shelf tells you how serious the venue is.

This guide covers every board game café and shop we could verify in and around Orlando (within about 40 km). Listings come from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. The one to know is The Haven Tabletop Games. If a spot's missing from Orlando's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Game night tips for Orlando

Planning game night in Orlando? Start here:

• Respect the components at The Haven Tabletop Games. Sleeved cards, no drinks on the table edge, pieces back in the box. Treat the library like it's yours.
• Ask about the regulars' nights. Many cafés run weekly open game nights. Show up solo and you'll leave with a gaming group.
• End with a quick filler. A ten-minute card game after the big one sends everyone home happy. Ask the staff for the closer.
• Try the weird stuff. The library's odd corners hold the memorable nights. Let the staff talk you into something strange.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Orlando — 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 Orlando 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. Spotted a closure among the 1, or a board game café we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

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.
