Game night tips for Richmond Hill

How the regulars do game night in Richmond Hill:

• Bring cash for the cover at Board Game Bliss. Some smaller venues are cash-only at the door. A few bills avoid awkwardness.
• Don't bring your own games (usually) at Board Games Arboretum. The library is the point. Some venues welcome outside games; ask first rather than assuming.
• Order food and drink. That's the business model. The cover charge is often waived with a minimum spend, and the kitchen needs you.
• Mind the table time. On busy nights tables turn over. Finish your game, free the table, order another round at the bar.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Richmond Hill — 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 Richmond Hill 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 2, 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 2 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.
