Why all the fuss?
The Shuffles experience is much more than just playing a single game. It is an immersive, visceral experience that allows us to escape the current humdrum. Shuffles is a community. Whether you would like to become a beastly warrior, a fish, a ghostly specter, or any number of fantastic entities, Shuffles can help you achieve your final form.
We offer around 1,000 board games of varying experience levels (yes, even for those who claim not to enjoy board games). Our Game Navigators—visit with them Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings—can help choose and teach games to your party. Our regular staff also have game suggestions. Make the most of your game pass by foregoing games you already have at home and diving into some exciting new titles!
​
Do you have food?
Yes, we have an onsite kitchen serving a full menu, with a large selection of board-game-friendly foods. Outside food/drink are not permitted.
​
Do you have alcohol?
Yes, we have a full bar with several craft cocktails and syrups made in-house. We offer 8 beers on tap and over 50 beers from bottle or can. We proudly support many local breweries for our gluten-free customers. Through our extensive bar program, we also offer fresh-brewed Topeca coffee, boutique sodas, energy drinks, flavored seltzers, bag candy and snacks, as well as a large assortment of milkshakes that can be made with or without alcohol.​
What kind of games do you have?
We have all the classic games from your youth and even your grandparents’ youth! Our main focus is table-top gaming; this is an industry which is currently enjoying total revenues measured in the billions and is releasing approximately 5,000 new games per year. There are children's games, party, cooperative, dexterity, you name it! We love for our customers to experience the joy of finding a new favorite, and we have crafted a list of several classic games that correspond well with the mechanics or themes of newer titles. Like Yahtzee? Try King of Tokyo! This is a living, dynamic collection of games that is continuously updated.
​
How much does it cost?
At Shuffles you are always allowed to eat and drink without paying for a game pass. However, we think you will succumb to the colorful allure of the library! Game Passes are currently $8 per person for unlimited gaming (half-price every Thursday). Kids 5 and under game free. There is an auto-gratuity of 20% applied to checks for groups of 8+, but we promise to work hard to earn it!
*outside games are allowed, but since our table times are a lot longer than other restaurants, game passes still apply
Can I make a reservation?
Please do! Our staffing depends on reservations. Parties of 7+ can make reservations at any point except Friday & Saturday evenings after 6:00. On weekends especially, we encourage groups of all sizes to call 15-20 minutes before arrival to get added to our waitlist. NOTE: complete party is required for seating.
Why can't I sit in a booth?
Maybe you can! It depends on your group's size, as well as reservations and other factors. As mentioned above, our table times are significantly longer than other restaurants. If we sat every small party at a table or booth meant for 2-3x that many people, we would lose a lot of money, particularly on weekends. Please respect our seating policies, as well as the staff communicating them.
When is best to come in?
It depends on your vibe. Weekends tend to get busy, lively, and a bit crowded. If that's an issue for you or your party, we recommend choosing a weeknight or Sunday, when it's more likely to be quiet and calm.
Are gift cards available?
Yes! They can be purchased in person during our standard operating hours, or over the phone.
