Nice board games and decent food. We really enjoyed our gaming session and played some great board games 🎯

From walking through the gates entrance and up the stairs this is a board cafe that needs to be experienced. The venue is stunning and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. A HUGE collection of games means you will run out of time before you run out of things to do. I recommend booking to get enough time to fit in all your game choices.

Delicious food, nice drinks, great atmosphere, and top notch selection of board games. The staff member who helped us was very knowledgeable. He recommended Century Spice Road which our group enjoyed thoroughly.

Great for games, but maybe not for stags! We visited Chance & Counter with a group of 10 friends for a stag do, and while we had a good time, it wasn't quite fit for a large and potentially boisterous groups. The cafe is clearly geared towards board game enthusiasts who appreciate a quieter atmosphere, which is understandable. However, it also serves food and drinks, which can create a bit of a conflict when a larger group like ours is added to the mix. Despite this, we had a great time exploring their huge selection of board games. There was something for everyone, with games of all types and durations. The food and drinks were also a hit, especially the dirty shakes (milkshakes with alcohol). They were so good I had two! Although, at £12 each, they were a bit pricey. I guess the cost helps to cover the board games, but it's something to keep in mind. The staff were great, despite having to ask us to keep the noise down several times and clearly a little distressed at time, they didn’t really show it. Helpful hints and tips: • If you're with a larger group, especially a stag or hen party, it might be worth calling ahead to see if they can accommodate you in a more secluded area. • Be prepared to pay a bit more for the food and drinks, but consider it an investment in the entertainment. • Take your time to browse the game selection - there are some real gems to discover!

Really love this place and visit frequently. The game selection is very impressive, the food is amazing, and there’s also a wide variety of awesome drinks too. This is a great location for both drinkers and non-drinkers alike. The menu is also very Coeliac friendly, with most of the menu being gluten free accommodating. This is my favourite thing to do in Cardiff and I wish I could give it a five star review, but it is let down massively by the service. The staff are so friendly and helpful and lovely but they will only come over to take orders maybe once an hour. And it’s even slower service if you’re seated upstairs. I’m not sure if they’ve been trained to not interrupt guests’ games frequently but, if so, I disagree with that idea massively. Not even wandering near the tables to give the opportunity to ask to order something is very frustrating, and if you go up to the bar it is very clear they don’t want you defying the rules of table service. Really, really hate to complain because I do love this place a lot, but it’s so frustrating upon every visit, and such an easy fix. Definitely will be back, but this area really needs improvement, sorry!

You really have to look close to find it. One door, up the steps, over a restaurant is the most relaxing place to hangout. The employees are very friendly and helpful. The quick food is tasty and just about anything you want to drink. The hamburgers are like Steak-n-shake's in the US. Great place in the city promenade, which is a must see anyway.

We came here two nights in a row on our visit to Cardiff and were not disappointed! The staff were friendly and welcoming and helpful in letting us know how it all works as well as recommending games to try. The prices are really good and they have a lovely cider on tap too. I have to say the standard of service was noticeably poorer today. Whilst the staff were again lovely, there was less hosting i.e. we were never given a menu, never asked if we would like more drinks. Yesterday we were clearly told it was table service whereas tonight I had no idea what the protocols were.

I've been here quite a few times over the years. We've with my family on a Saturday afternoon (didn't eat just played games). After being down our seats we had very little interaction with staff. Nobody came to introduce any games or see what we'd like to play. I asked about a specific game and was told "I don't know" then they walked away. We then had two members of staff warn us about our time ending, it was fine but felt like we were being rushed out. I love coming here but this experience didn't feel up to the standards of usually expect here. I don't know if it was coming with kids, first time here with children but it certainly felt like they had no time for us on this occasion.

We had booked a table for 8 people to celebrate a birthday. We phoned up near our allotted time to confirm the booking was still on and was told the booking hadn't gone through on the system. This can be fair, sometimes the system can cause an issue and seems like just an unfortunate outcome. But we were rung later that our card details were used on a table and if we were going to show for the booking, so we decided okay we would try and go. Arrived and were told that there was no booking in our name again, very frustrating, but again, fine, we move on. Rung yet again, and this time, we just say just to cancel this booking as we have already been played around too much by this point. Had the audacity to still charge us the £25 cancellation fee. Very poor service.

Good concept - if you enjoy board games you will have a great time here. Good idea for a date night perhaps as there are tons of games to select from - as in hundreds. However the dessert served unfortunately left a negative impact on my visit. It was the brownie option and it was chunks of brownie which were solid - I couldn’t eat them. It seemed like they had been left out and gone stale - completely inedible. And there was a drop of ice cream. Fortunately it was taken off the bill. The burger was nice. Fries were served cold. If you go here for the gaming maybe just avoid the food or at least the desserts!

We have been going to chance and counters since it opened and have seen major improvements recently, especially with the food quality. The vegan options are insane, so many options and all of them absolutely delicious. It's the standard of a stand alone restaurant. We had the black bean tacos, oyster mushroom buffalo wings, dirty fries, and a burger. All perfect, I'd come here just for the food to be honest! And as always, the service is fantastic. Super friendly and helpful, incredibly knowledgeable of the games. Just all around a great experience.

Very cute idea with board games and drinks on the weekend evenings. There are some very noisy players (not the places fault but just something to bear in mind). The drinks on tap are interesting - think some “ordinary” beers would be appreciated. Also think their cocktail options could be expanded - add aperol spritz hint hint!! Would go again it’s perfect for a different kind of evening.

Staff friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the many, many games on offer, which is useful because I've certainly never heard of most of them! Interesting beers on tap (along with other drinks!), and good pub-type food. Have been there several times now, and will be returning again. Slight downsides are that enthusiastic games players mean it can be quite noisy at times. The staff will do their nest to move you ask them, subject to table availability of course... Access is only up a flight of slightly wonky stairs, so probably not suitable for people with mobility issues.

Myself and my partner visited today after a meal in Cardiff. After hearing from different friends how fun this place was, we decided to give it a try on a whim. After walking in with no booking, we were offered a table and a glass of water each. We picked a game to play and waited for the servers to ask us what drinks we would like. Around 20 mins later we were finally approached for our drinks. My partner asked for a beer but was REFUSED. Apparently, according to the waitress, he came in "too drunk and needed to sober up with the glass of water" before being served any drinks. He WAS NOT too drunk, or displaying any behaviour that showed this, and quite frankly I feel it is discrimination for how we looked. Utterly disgusted at the staff and service and their prejudices and will never return.

While the board game selection and food menu was very good, unfortunately we encountered an extremely rude member of staff throughout our time. The male server with glasses and brown hair on shift from at least 8:30pm was extremely dismissive, condescending, and terse. He tried correcting how we played our games, and brushed us off when we asked for a recommendation for a game. Not welcoming at all. I would come back as I did have fun with my friends, but the customer service here is very poor.

They're friendly and very knowledgeable. A really great way to spend an afternoon.

Amazing place in Cardiff!! Me and my friend went here with a gift card she had been given two years ago and they still let us use it! They were really kind and accommodating and managed to squeeze us in even though we hadn’t booked. The food and drinks are really well made and delicious, also reasonably priced for the size of what you get and how tasty they are. I really recommend the chicken burger and the biscoff milkshake. There are lots of options if you are vegan also. The games selection is really extensive and the staff are really knowledgeable and will explain how to play the games if you are confused and the “staff favourites” section is a really helpful too. Could not recommend more based on the lovely staff, great games and tasty food!

We love this place for a relaxed and fun date night or meet up with friends. Huge plus that the food and drinks menu is both incredibly vegan friendly and delicious. Staff are very helpful and knowledgeable, and we enjoy the recommended games. Only things that could do with improvements for me is the hot chocolate always seems to be served lukewarm (though still amazing!), and the upstairs room is quite cold and drafty so whenever we're sat up there I feel I need a blanket.

Where does 4.9 stars on average come from? We were made to feel on edge from start to finish, had a bad service experience twice in the space of 90mins (and it wasn’t busy) plus told it was card only on payment (no sign on door, walls on entry, or at the bar. (Imagine it was card only and not clearly signed?) ‘Oh it’s on the menu and the table service explain this’…. errr no they don’t.) To top it off we had three drinks, paid £2 each for game rental for an hour and an half and then a £2.05 service charge appeared on the bill! I asked about this and stock answer from gentleman minding the bar ‘oh it’s on the menu and table staff explain’…. Maybe it is but again… errr no they don’t and certainly not value for money if the only person on the bar that can’t be ordered from is looking at her phone when walking downstairs and despite lots of waving doesn’t acknowledge us. My girlfriend had to go the bar and ask the lady to come over and the order which we already knew, as ‘I can’t legally take drinks orders from the bar, it’s table service only’. We wanted to try this as the other gaming cafe in Cardiff, as a change and a new experience. Will never go back. Avoid.

Stopped in here before a gig to kill time. Friendly and informative staff, decent selection of games, informal atmosphere. Very impressed with bar and food, as a relatively new vegetarian, I was able to get a vegan burger that didn't disappoint. Still feels strange to rent a table in a cafe to play games, when most pubs will tolerate you monopolizing a quiet corner, but the cost didn't feel exorbitant and I didn't have to carry a box home, nor humour any curious drunks, for that matter.

Such a wonderful place—and it literally was the best part of our Saturday night in a city that we didn't realize got so... messy... on weekend nights. The vibes are great, they have a huge selection of board and card games, and the staff is super chill and nice. We got some drinks—I personally had the esspresso, which was extremely bitter, even for an espresso. Not sure about the food since we didn't order any. I'd say it's definitely worth a visit if you and some friends one to play some games and drink while out and about.

Absolutely brilliant customer service- very happy to help pick out some boardgames and give us some quick introductions to games as well to help us get our head around it. Great selection of food and drinks as well - the Kinder Buenos milkshake was stunning!

We had a group booking for 10 for an event. The staff were so, so helpful, they decorated the area for us before turning up and it looked really lovely. Brilliant games selection and delicious milkshakes!

Milkshakes were amazing 🤩. Burger meat a little dry and chillie cheese fries were bland. The atmosphere is really nice and cozy although abit cold inside overall it’s a nice place to go to on a date or with friends/family.

My new favourite place to go in Cardiff. Cosy, friendly and great fun. Excellent service and staff are always happy to recommend games and chat with you about them. The drink choices are brilliant, with some great cocktails. Awesome place to spend your time!

An amazing selection of games. You could easily spend all day there. A very busy location which can get quite loud, by its nature. Food is excellent and they have lots of Gluten Free options which suits our party well.

Rolling a natural 20 coming here was a critical hit!

Lovely food, but tricky to work out what they actually sell from the blackboards - they don’t detail what each sandwich actually is. Shame the inside seating is now closed.

Claire supplied cupcakes and mini cupcakes for my daughter’s wedding on Friday. We wanted a particular theme and what she produced was perfect and they tasted delicious. Nothing was too much trouble despite only ordering a few weeks before the big day! Thank you Claire you are a star !

A genuinely brilliant little find in the heart of Whitchurch on Merthyr road. Everything is gluten free and tasted fantastic (my partner is Coeliac, I'm not). Great service too

Great place for match days. Very busy but queues at the bar are quick as they have lots of staff to cope.

Placed a big breakfast order for the office with baguetty junction and couldn't be happier with the service and food! The whole thing was organised perfectly by the team at baguetty junction and the quality of the breakfast we had for the price we paid was phenomenal! Highly recommend and will be returning in future! J
