Game night tips for Plymouth

Planning game night in Plymouth? Start here:

• Keep phones away at Tic Tac Tabletop. Nothing kills game night like half the table scrolling. The game deserves your attention.
• Ask about the shop section. Many cafés sell the games too, often with a try-first discount. Ask what's in stock.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Plymouth — 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 Plymouth 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.
