Great selection of games, super cool menu! Got a pistachio blackberry lemonade which sounds odd but tastes delicious! Their music choice is phenomenal, mostly soundtracks from video games and older movies, it really adds to the atmosphere and makes gaming a little more intense haha. My friends and I drove up from farmville, about an hour out and it was so worth the drive. Menu is reasonably priced with lots of different add ins for drinks available in sugar free and seasonal options, including a “surprise me” option where one rolls a d20 to receive a mystery drink which is a cute touch! We visited August 28th, 2021 at around 2pm during their open house event where admission was free and they held a raffle for board games. Great experience for all ages with games ranging in play times from 5 minutes to a few hours, polite staff! Wonderful time was had by all!
This place is awesome! Over 1000 games and the owner, Whitney, is so very helpful to finding the right game and teaching you how to play in 5 mins. They also have some delicious loose leaf teas. Great price, great drinks, great company and great games. What could be better! Highly recommend checking it out
I absolutely love this game store. I come here with my friends from school and play there. We drive over an hour just to come here. The environment in here is always so welcoming, and the drinks are nice and won’t break the bank
Fun atmosphere, very friendly staff and regulars, and creative menu. Their d20 drink is probably my favorite where you roll a d20 and depending on the result, they make a mystery drink for you. Ive only had one drink from that I didnt like from that set, and the food is pretty good. Organized play is fun and engaging with opportunities for beginners and experienced players alike
I absolutely love this place! They have a great atmosphere and the business concept is fantastic. I love being able to play games that I wouldnt be able to afford or Im unsure if I would like. The bathrooms are clean. The food is good. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, helpful. Its going to be a staple for my friend group.
Meeples is a fun place to hang out and play board games with your friends and family, on friday nights you can visit then and play games with other people on community game night! Over all a fun place to hang out for the day or evening.
Such a cute place! Its a really nice place to spend the day having fun with friends on a low budget!
Great place to play board games and hang out, d20 drink a great random drink, definitely a place to come visit or hang out for a few days :)
We had so much fun at meeples! It was great way to spend time with friends
Always a pleasure. Huge array of games and a very welcoming atmosphere. Definitely the best way to learn a new board game on a budget. Have had the staff take the time to walk through the game play of entire games before when we hadnt played them.
Such a nice staff! Tons of games! A great way to spend time with friends!
Five stars is not enough for this place! Love the atmosphere, the people, the food, the games, everything! Definitely the thing I miss most about living in Lynchburg!With hundreds of games and more appearing all the time, youll never run out of interesting and exciting new games to play but youll also be able to play all your favorites! Dont know what to play? The owners are able to recommend games to try next! Ten-minute party games or ten-hour masterful strategy games, they have the game for you and everything in between.
Great place, Large selection of top tier games, wonderful people very nice, and a nice variety of drinks.
My favorite place in Lynchburg! Such a great deal for hours of entertainment. Whitney and Patrick are so friendly and their service is great. If you don’t know what to play next they will happily give you recommendations and then explain how the game works quickly and efficiently. The selection is great, the food is awesome, and honestly there’s no other place I’d rather spend my Saturdays!
So excited for the mini painting contest and opportunity to meet people
Great place for community, and wonderful people. Also wonderful enforcement of COVID-19 guidelines while still allowing good food and drink and fun with a few friends.
Love this place! Coffee and food is super good but also it is such a high quality place. The owner cares so much about his work and makes the place so wonderful. The games are well cared for and the service is thoughtful and great:) love spending time here
Amazing! They have about a thousand games. Can rent them. Have cubes to maintain separation between groups. Best coffee Ive had, ever. Good food.
Love this place. They are so friendly, patient and full of life. I want to become a member so bad. I even asked if they were hiring. Lol. But seriously, good food, good Cafe, good games, and good times.
Such a fun place with a great atmosphere and TONS of board games to choose from! Me and my friends went and had an amazing time. Also, the staff was super helpful and helped us find a game to fit our need! 10/10 recommend!!
Great place with friendly staff and a huge game inventory.
First of all, the selection of games here is immense- there is a near guarantee that you will both find games you already love, and discover new games which you will love even more.Meeples has, over time, developed an extremely welcoming community, making it an amazing place to meet new people!Finally, the café portion has very good coffee and food, and the prices are very good!Overall, I highly recommend it- the whole atmosphere of the place is enough to find yourself coming back over and over again!
Do yourself a favor and go check out Meeples!!My husband and I went, paid $5 each for 6 hours - and its so worth it. Theres a cafe with snacks and beverages and the owners are wonderful, wonderful people with an extensive knowledge of most of the 800+ options available. Anything from Uno, Candy Land, to some of those SUPER long strategy games everyone loves. They also seemed to have rooms available for tournaments and campaigns.
A really great place to have a day of fun! Owner is awesome!
First time here tonight! We had a blast! We were welcomed and greeted by one of the owners who was very friendly and helpful. He asked what kinds of games we were interested in and we were surprised that they had a very new game we were looking for! Note that their website library of games is not up to date. We played Wingspan, Patrick (the owner) helped us set the game up and ran through the rules and our first round SUPER HELPFUL which we were not expecting. Our experience was fantastic and we felt very welcomed by the other customers there too. Highly recommend giving them a try, you cant beat the price either! Tell me where you can go and have fun for $5?!
I have been coming to this place ever since they first opened downtown. I have seen them grow and expand but maintain their drive to do right by their customers and their community. Having grown from a single shelf to a library of 800 and counting, they have board games that can cater to any age range and preference of complexity.Not being a coffee drinker myself I can only repeat what I have heard,vand everyone I have heard speak of it raves about how good it is. So even if board games arent your cup of tea, you can still stop by and get a delicious cup of tea! If you want to support local businesses especially in the churning morass that is this pandemic, Meeples is definitely one to wildly fling money at.
Meeples is the best hangout in Lynchburg! They have over 800 board games and their staff is extremely knowledgeable about them. The store owner, Whitney, is great at helping you find your new favorite game. Their food and drinks are really good. I would go just for their coffee! The community that attends Meeples events, like Dungeons and Dragons on Mondays, is also super welcoming! Overall, its a great place to hang out with family and friends or make new friends!
All of the staff is nice and knowledgeable. I have never felt excluded from the community as a DnD player, which is great when youre a women.
Excellent place with friendly and helpful staff. Monday night dnd is always a good time!
What a special place! So many games and OMG the coffee! The coffee is outta this world!
I went to Meeples once over a year ago at a friends recommendation to try Monday D&D, and ended up:- going consistently every Monday since, outside of holidays and the like- picking up board games as a hobby on non-Monday nights, which wasnt a thing prior to my first visit- making a bunch of friendsThe owners are down to earth, the drinks are delicious (their Chai Latte easily ranks top 3 creamiest in Lynchburg), and the community is welcoming. Highly recommend.
Meeples is an amazing place to play board games with friends, and they have fantastic events for a variety of game systems.
Great place to game with friends or even find new friends to game with. The owners are wonderful people. If you ever want to check out a board game you dont own definitely check this place out. They also have regular events for different tabletop and card games.
Wow! I had such a great experience at meeples, the owners were so nice and personable and made me and my girlfriend feel so welcome! One even picked out a game and taught it to us! I cant recommend it enough! Will definitely be a constant customer
Great place to meet up with friends and make new ones over board games and delicious snacks and drinks. Great variety of games too, ranging from the classics to many new favorites. Currently behind Starbucks and KFC on Timberlake.
A fun and charming place with a wide variety of game choices from party to strategy. Admission is only $5.35 with tax and that gets you access to all of there games as well as a gummy bear jar. The admission ticket doubles as a 10% discount coupon to Bean Tree Café which is right next door. My only complaint would be that it is a little cramped with the table placement but with a starting business that is to be expected. I think its a great place, with a fun atmosphere, and amazing people working there who are passionate about group tabletop gaming.
What a fun place!!! Is cozy, with a friendly enviroment. Definetely stop by and check it out!
Great variety of games, friendly group! Wonderful rate especially if you want to stay for several hours and dig into a new strategy game. Will definitely be going again and bringing friends!
Great community, super fun games, and great coffee! I will going there a lot from now on.
Been here a few times and Ive got to say, its nice to have a place like this in Lynchburg where unless you like Car Dealerships, Chik-Fil-A, or Clothing Store #47, theres really not much else to do here.Absolute ton of games to play, everyone is always friendly, and I finally got to introduce my brother to Carcassonne and then proceed to beat him every time in it.Would absolutely recommend swinging by with some friends and check it out! Real cheap compared to other forms of entertainment you can find and youre guaranteed to have hours of fun.Id recommend Superfight!
Super duper friendly and welcoming owners/staff. Eager to teach new games to everyone who comes in. You wont be ignored unless you want to be :) Stopped in while I was in town and was pleasantly surprised.
Meeples is so much fun and they have so many things to do! And the owners are super friendly!
Visiting Lynchburg and discovered this place. Fantastic proce, great selection but highlight was owner was friendly and super helpful. Definitely will go back next trip to Lynchburg.
Great staff, awesome selection. Waiting on a subscription/frequent visitor service and then would be 5 star :)
Great place to hand out and play games with your friends. Just pay $5 and you can play all day.
Awesome people and tons of fun board games ranging from kid friendly to high strategy.
Im an owner, but it wont stop asking. I think we do pretty well :)
Lots of fun, tons of great games, and the staff are super friendly and helpful
Always a lot of fun 🥳🎉😃

Great people and very helpful staff
Friendly place to go and hang out
Great concept and atmosphere!
All over unimpressed
Absolutely amazing place!
Came here with a few friends for the Arkham Epic Event and had an awesome time. Staff were all really friendly. They have a massive selection of board games and card games to choose from. They also have a selection of food and drinks, teas and coffees. I would definitely recommend anyone local who enjoys coffee or teas, board games or card games to come here for events or bring a few friends and play.
