I've actually been to Hero Board Game Cafe with friends several times before, but since I was in Nowon again after so long, we naturally landed on a board game café haha. ![Entrance view of Hero Board Game Cafe near Nowon Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail-02-1wdo1-966.webp) ## Hero Board Game Cafe Nowon Branch location — a short walk from Nowon Station Exit 9 Hero Board Game Cafe in Nowon is located right near Exit 9 of Nowon Station on Subway Line 4.

Crazy, right? ![Gaming area with Nintendo and PlayStation consoles](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail-13-1sdb8-966.webp) ![Arcade machine set up inside the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail-14-1xwd0-966.webp) ![Console gaming seats and monitor](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail-15-o0jvx-966.webp) ## ₩3,000 per hour on weekends · one drink per person, and they even have bingsu Since we visited on the weekend, the ₩3,000 per person per hour rate applied to us, and you need to order one drink per person. You order and pay through the self-service kiosk at the table. Looking at the menu, they also sell bingsu (shaved ice dessert), and it looked absolutely delicious. ![Hero Board Game Cafe menu board featuring bingsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail-16-1281o-966.webp) ![Menu board listing drinks and cocktails](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail-17-1q8e0-966.webp) I peeked at the menu, and the drink selection is really varied, and they even sell alcohol! There are cocktails, and tons of different bingsu options too. Plenty of simple snacks as well! I wanted bingsu, but my friend had already had some right before meeting me, so sadly I had to pass ㅠ ![Tableside self-service kiosk order screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail-18-12qgs-m-966.webp) ## Word Capture, Splendor, and a Midori Sour cocktail After ordering, we grabbed our board games! We brought over Word Capture, which looked simple, and Splendor, which felt like something to really sink our teeth into. ![Word Capture and Splendor board game boxes chosen for the day](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail-19-1exb9-966.webp) ![Board game pieces laid out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail-20-1mwhz-966.webp) ![Splendor cards and tokens set up](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail-21-uv5gv-966.webp) While we were casually playing, our order came out pretty fast. My friend got yuzu tea, and I got a Midori Sour cocktail. For a snack we picked honey butter garlic fries! The fries came in a generous portion, and the cocktail looked super pretty too, right? My friend said the yuzu tea had a strong, delicious flavor. As for the cocktail I ordered — mmm mmm~ with a bit of alcohol in it, it was so, so good. Seriously, it just goes down smooth, sip after sip. Having a cocktail while playing board games is completely great. ![Midori Sour cocktail and yuzu tea](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail-22-1gy6t-m-966.webp) ![A plate of honey butter garlic fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail/nowon-board-game-cafe-splendor-cocktail-23-1bzob-m-966.webp) Time flew by while we played Splendor~ We'd said we'd only play for 1 or 2 hours, but since it had been so long since we played board games and it was so much fun, we ended up enjoying it for 3 hours. ## Why I recommend it for an indoor date in Nowon The facilities are clean and the staff are kind. They've been friendly every single time I've visited, which is why Hero Board Game Cafe is the only board game café I go to in Nowon. Since it's room-style, you can enjoy it privately, and there's such a variety of things to do and eat!
