Downtown Columbia to get a new board game cafe

The owners of a new board game café that’s being built in downtown Columbia envision it as a place where everyone is welcome.

Zimmer’s “Inside Columbia’ magazine reports Hexagon Alley will open this spring in the 100 block of South Ninth street. Reporter Zola Crowder says more than 400 board games will be offered, including family games and what the owners describe as “heavy nerd games.”

Hexagon Alley will offer hot coffee and espresso drinks, and they’re in the process of trying to obtain a liquor license, according to “Inside Columbia.”
