What an amazing selection of games!! Came here for a Halloween treat and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Drinks were well made and the crew were very helpful. The food is all made in air fryers which is really interesting and unique.

It is an excellent place to spend an evening with friends or a partner. There is a friendly and jovial atmosphere, and the food is wonderful. They serve perhaps the best cocktails in Newport, and I would recommend 'The Happy Little Accident'.There is a large selection of exciting games suitable for players ranging from amateur to expert, and it is nice to know they are properly cleaned between uses.My partner and I attend regularly when we wish to unwind after a long week.

Brilliant place. I have seen people talk about it before but we had never gotten round to visiting. I am so glad we did! Great menu. We was spoilt for choice. We was welcomed by friendly staff who explained how to use the cafe. There is a huge choice of games and everything was in great condition to enjoy. The atmosphere is lovely and we all really enjoyed our visit. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely lovely venue, super family friendly in the day and a great evening hangout for the grownups! The team really care that visitors have a good time and cannot do enough to make sure we are looked after. My teenage daughter has been playing Dungeons & Dragons in one of the weekly clubs and my 10 year old loves to play the boardgames... I'm in it for the iced coffee and amazing cakes (warm cookie pie is hard to beat). We are also all a little obsessed with the Boba Tea! A much needed place for everyone, keep up the good work .

This place is amazing! Stumbled across it when visiting Newport. So many games to choose from, and the milkshakes were incredible! Good value for money and the staff are so friendly and helpful. There were some good songs playing in the background too, the atmosphere was really fun. Will definitley visit again if in the area.

What a find this place is! An enormous array of games available for young kids, teens and adults. We took our two boys (4+6) but could also easily come here for a date night (plenty of drinks choices and the cocktails looked amazing).Food selection was great, lots of options for people with varying dietary needs. My wife and son can't have dairy but had a choice of meals and an ice cream sundae/chocolate fudge cake.Recommend for anyone who fancies something different. Really good price too considering all we did/had.

One of my most favourite destinations on the isle of wight!The board game cafe, snacks and ladders (love the pun of the name), is an extremely atmospheric, friendly and welcoming café in the isle of the wight.They have a selection of easily 100+ board games to choose from, your favourites such as buckaroo, guess who, monopoly and many many more!The cafe is extremely healthy, in that they use air fryers to cook their food which I find is healthier and tastes better. The service is very fast and they have a button on each table which calls the waiter/waitress.The cleanliness of the cafe is 10/10, no mess that I can find, the board games are in as pristine condition as they can be (they are used daily so expect ware and tear).They have tables for 2 people, 4 people and up to 8 people, so group play is perfectly fine herez and I would imagine that you can bring your own games for DND or your own speciality.They do also have just a small restaurant part at the front if you fancy just a bit of cake, burger, chips or a cup of tea.Overall, I would highly recommend this place, i have been here 3 times in a week and will come back again!Thanks to Kirsty with her lovely introduction to board game café!

Really excellent and highly recommended.I've been to a few board game cafes over the last five years or so, and Snacks and Ladders really stands out - I wish they were the template used by all the others!The aesthetic is great, and avoids the nerd cave" feel of many competitors
