How it Works
We have over 1000 games to play and are always adding more.
Check out our full list of games.
Lots of our base games include expansions, which aren’t always kept on the shelf, but are available upon request.
Game passes are $5 per person for a 2 hour booking with a $5 minimum spend on food and drink.
You can play as many games as you like for the time you’re here.
Ask a friendly game guru for advice.

Our story
As of March 2024, Jono and Jade are the proud new owners of Counter Culture Board Game Cafe & Bar, taking over the great legacy built by previous owners Ahmed & Emma.
Jono hails from Palmerston North and Jade from the seaside town of Scarborough, North Yorkshire in the UK.
They met in 2013 during a theatre production of “Sweeney Todd”, where their showmace, turned into a romance.
A road trip to the South Island, a skydive and a move back to London later, they found they shared amongst many other similar interests, a love of board games and a love of community.
Jono and Jade, frequented Stoke Newington based Board Game Bar, Loading Bar for years and dreamed of being able to open a similar place of their own.
Fast forward to 2024, they are back in New Zealand and have taken the leap and found themselves running Counter Culture, proof that dreams do come true!
