(SPOT.ph) Before the pandemic hit, board game cafes were everywhere. Unfortunately, most of these places had to close their doors in the last couple of years. And now that most places are back in business, a new player has emerged at Uptown Mall Bonifacio in Taguig City—All aBOARD XP by Gaming Library, which is a well-known board game shop in the Philippines.
Board Game Cafe All aBOARD XP by Gaming Library
At All aBOARD XP, you can have access to an entire library of card and board games for only P100 per hour.
That's not even the best part. Gone are the days you had to keep ordering food and drinks to stay longer at board game cafes. You only have to spend P350 to avail a full day’s worth of fun. Rates are consistent for every day of the week, too.
Make sure to be mindful of the clock on top of the counter. You’re given a 10-minute grace period to wrap up at the end of the session, but beyond this, you will be charged the full-hour rate. Don’t expect the game masters to remind you of the time because they won’t.
All aBOARD XP had only opened its doors to the public on November 2022, and in just three months, it has reported more than 4,066 hours of gameplay from its customers.

Meet the Board Game Masters
All aBOARD XP is perfect for big groups, but it’s no less fun with just two people. Two people are still two players—and game masters have plenty of options to recommend for duo gameplay.
Feeling extra competitive? You can also challenge the game masters to play with you! To quote Gaming Library: “Victory against our game masters earns you not only major bragging rights, but given the right event, actual prizes, too!”
If you end up loving a card or board game too much, you’ll be glad to know that you can take your new favorite home with you. Gaming Library is known for its vast inventory of retail games for sale. In a way, All aBOARD XP is just Gaming Library’s marketing for its products—a very successful one at that.
All aBOARD XP is at 3/F Uptown Mall Bonifacio, 9th Avenue, Taguig City. It is open from Monday to Thursday, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and from Friday to Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.
