If you’re looking for a place to hang out and play games, this board game cafe just opened in downtown Lincoln!
You can play games from their library or you can bring in your own games from home to play - however, there’s an access fee. The cost is $5/weekdays or $8/weekends for a day pass.
There is a small selection of new board games for sale, but most of the other games are part of their game library.
There’s also a cafe where you can order coffee, drinks, and snacks at the front.
Price per person
$1–10
If I could give this place more than five stars i totally would!
The establishment is so cute and such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. You can play games, enjoy incredible food and beverages, and they even have all ages shows that they host monthly!
The owner of the establishment is also absolutely wonderful. She makes sure to provide a safe space for EVERYONE to come and relax, and not only that, but she stays involved with and gives back to the community outside of her own business constantly, and i think that’s incredible.
i hope this business is around many many years to come, so everyone gets a chance to feel the loving energy that’s been embedded into Mana Games by their amazing customers and staff! 💖

The food was great considering we were in a game café. Impressive menu!!! The service was wonderful. Drake took the time to share lots of information with us and got us all excited to come back to play new games. We went on a random Thursday and stayed until close. By then the place had really filled up and had a fun energetic vibe. Great to see local establishments thriving. 😃

My spouse and I are madly in love with this place. We haven't been able to visit as much a we'd like, but I already consider it a safe place and somewhere to go if I'm glum because I know it'll lift my mood. We love to get chai tea and watch the drag shows together. Crossing my fingers I can talk them into joining me for a future d&d night! I cannot fathom entering this place and not feeling at peace – I'm so glad we have this safe haven to go to. ❤️

I love spending time at Mana! They make it clear that they intend to maintain a fun space for those in all walks of life, and especially for those who may not feel safe, welcomed, and embraced elsewhere. Quality drinks, good food, fun atmosphere, and warm team attitude.
