Remember when you were a kid and wanted nothing more than to play game after game of Chutes and Ladders? While Chutes and Ladders may have lost its novelty over the years, there are still plenty of other fun and engaging board games for adults. It may be hard to find the time to sit down and play a game or two of Rummikub or Scattergories, but it's easy to treat yourself to a night at this Colorado board game cafe that is oodles of fun!
Recognize this colorful billboard? If you are like me, you probably found it intriguing... but just what is the Board Game Republic?
Board Game Republic, which is located in The Yard building in Denver, is quite possibly the most innovative restaurant and pub in Colorado.
Inside, you'll find a whopping 750+ board games...
...local brews and creative cocktails...
...and gourmet sandwiches, flatbread pizzas, and cheese boards. Board Game Republic lives up to its motto, inviting guests to "Unplug. Sit Down. Connect."
For many, the idea of board games brings up memories of classics from the past; however, the world of games has expanded immensely over the years, and you’ll be surprised by how many amazing games there are that you likely have never even heard of!
They still have all the old favorites (including fun puzzles), but you should definitely check out a few new ones from their epic collection.

They also have unconventional games, like Giant Tsuro - a strategy game where players move tiles to build pathways.
If you’re intimidated by the thought of learning a new game - don’t be! Many are quick and easy to pick up and it’s a great way to work together with friends (and maybe get a little competitive along the way), all while enjoying a tasty meal and drinks.
Above all else, Board Game Republic is a place to laugh and play.
