    By far the best board game café in Penang! Most other board game outlets are more a hobby store with the café part thrown in as an afterthought, which means the store space is organised much differently. Pegasus Yield was just a claustrophobic field day; RNG Games is decent but still cluttered with large segments taken up by hobbyists (which isn't a bad thing, but it denies space for other patrons). The café is comfortable with enough space for both people and board games. The food and beverages are decent with standard cafe prices (think 15 for a drink). It is pay to play by hour, and their staff are well trained to guide you through games you may not be familiar with. The board games are new and nicely wrapped (for now). The place is neat and clean and air-conditioned. The staff are friendly and service is quick even with a full house. Overall pretty good execution. Could do with some ambient music to set the mood, but otherwise highly recommend!

    Games are nice. Ambience is good. Staffs are very friendly and thought us well. Please be noted that there is a price to play. Not like other game centres where you can just purchase the drinks and food and play for free. For a cafe that charges to play per hour, i was hoping for a cheaper food price but its too expensive and the food is really bad. Snacks are OK. But the pastas and mushroom soup was horrible. I couldnt even finish them. The Arabiata pasta was like tomato sauce with some chillie flakes. The worst is their filterred water with a slice of lemon is RM4.90!!!! Its not even lemon juice. Its just water with a slice of lemon. Which is toooooo much i feel. My suggestion, bring your own water, eat before you come. Can buy snacks though. Just like usual nuggets and popcorn chicken airfried.

    Here is the good place for board game lovers. These place fits group and couple Why would I say couple. They have a unique board games for it. If you looking for some uncommon board games, here is the place you should drop a visit. Beside,Kohii provide EXECELLENT service to guide their customer for board games. There is nothing to worry about if you are not familiar to the games. Good place is recommended to take reservations.

    Very nice cafe to spend the evening playing board games. You can pick a game of the ones they have and they explain you in detail how to play. There are also drinks and snacks, chocolate drinks are a must try, they that are delicious. If you want to go better book in advance because it’s usually full

    I am from the Philippines and I got to know this shop from my friend who went to Malaysia. They bought some games here but i was too late, so i ordered online and transaction went very smoothly. I was having a hard time finding the expansions for my game, and im very glad i found it here.

    One of the best board game cafe in Malaysia (I’m from KL). Good selection of games, friendly staff, nice drinks - nothing else I can ask for

    Great place! They explained all the games so well. Nice atmosphere and so many board games to play🫶 Super recommend!

  • 5/5 Choon Kuan O. 1 year ago on Google
    Enjoy board game in a nice relaxing environment. They have a wide variety of boardgames to choose from and the staff are always willing to help explain if you are unfamiliar. It is definitely more worth your bucks if you do have membership. Rate is counted 1st 2 hours then following consecutive hours, you will not be charged if you don't join play any games. Snacks and beverage is reasonably priced.

    Great boardgames and nice staff, we lost track of time here! Drinks are well prepared by a skilled barista 😊

    They have a good selection of board games and the staff are friendly and helpful in person at the physical store. I have never played there in person but I'm commenting on my experience from their online shop. I believe improvement can be done for the online store purchasing experience and customer communication. On one occasion I bought a game(GH) from their website only to be informed it is out of stock and a system issue wrongly displayed it was still in stock and allowed customers to purchase. It was my first purchase from them. On another occasion, I texted them before purchasing to ask if a different game(JOTL) I wanted is really in stock(in fear of meeting the same experience as I previously did) but got no response at all. On a different occasion I used their websites email form to inquire if they will be bringing in a title(stars of akarios) in the future and got no response. And yet on another occasion, I submitted an order to redeem points accumulated to get a cash voucher to buy something from their website and again got no response at all after one week and even after emailing and dropping them a msg on fb. I've purchased online and interacted online with different Malaysian board games shops and by far this is the poorest online experience I've encountered. I really like having a local FLGS in Penang but this as aspect needs to be addressed or improved.

    Hunted high and low before finding this expansion pack for an amazing price at Kohii. Definitely one of the best random and lucky finds. This will be my go to place for buying all further Unmatched sets and also other board games in the future.

    Friendly staff who teach you the games well. They also have good coffee.

  • 5/5 Fallout 4. 1 year ago on Google
    If you're a beginner and willing to learn/play board game, they provide wide range and type of board game to explore with. Great place with bright lighting and cozy feel. Price of snacks and drinks are above average. Staff members are friendly and would willing to explain the rules of the game.

    1) good options available and in good conditions as they take really good care of their game selections 2) staff members are great fun to be around and does a good job explaining the rules though there were some newer staff who is still learning😊 3) food and drink selection is as expected, their popcorn chicken is a great snack option so i definitely recommend! All in all a great fun day spent here. Though be warned they are only opened Fridays, Saturday and Sundays. Parking infront the store isnt an issue on these days.
