This is probably my new favorite place on the island. The food and the milkshakes are delicious! They have such a big collection of board games that I had never even seen before. We spent hours there until it closed and honestly we would have gladly stayed for another three hours. The atmosphere is unique for what the locals are used to (in a good way) and it's a place where people genuinely have fun and spend time together, leaving their phones alone for a bit. The space is cozy, modern and the staff is very attentive. Had this existed while I was younger... I would have spent all my afternoons here.

Our family had an amazing experience here and would definitely recommend it. The owner was really hospitable and welcoming and made sure we all had what we wanted. Unfortunately, the day we came to Game on the chefs were on vacation but we still had delicious milkshakes and smoothies. They had a wide range of different games and they were able to recommend perfect ones for our family. Overall, it was a very good place and we would definitely go again.

Fun place, low prices, great quality, with over 100+ games, from interactive, to board, to video for a night a fun with friends or family. They even can throw a party! Recommended for everyone wanting a family or friend break from it all.

Such a cool concept! Snacks and video games is always a great combination. + for only 5 euros access to over 300 different board games! The service was great, and the atmosphere was fun and very welcoming. If you want to have a different type of evening Game On is a must.

THE place for nerding it. TCGs, boardgames and videogames all combined in a cosy and warm cafe. You can't miss this place if you come visit the city. Their food is also pretty nice, specially the drinks!!! Their new matcha latte is something you need to experience and it has in vegan form too! Furthermore, the staff is super flexible with the orders and will always try their best to cater to what you need. But let's be honest, this place wouldn't be as good as it is if it wasn't for the very staff: Sara and Daniela. These two are the life of the party and work with the community to ensure everyonenis happy.

We came in expecting to look around and ended up staying for 5 hours, this place is great! Their board game collection is extensive, the owner taught us how to play a few new games, and the food and desserts were excellent! Highly recommend checking it out if you’re looking for a place to play some games in Ponta Delgada!

Amazing! If you play tcg or love board games worth a stop while on the island. Joined a draft for mtg and the locals and shop owners were very inviting and speak English. The iced teas are fantastic and served with a cute animal strainer. Go show these people some love they deserve it. Also shoutout for the killer playlists the music made the atmosphere for me.

Very wonderful board game cafe. The staff is super helpful and friendly, they have a cool system to pick out games that are suitable for you and you can even play PS5 and Nintendo switch games with your friend(s)! Warm and family like atmosphere. We even won some Pokémon cards from their lottery! Thank you so very much for that amazing experience!
