Description

Bastard Café is a café for board games, card games, coffee and 'hygge' in Copenhagen. Bastard Café is about having a coffee, a beer or just a break, while enjoying great game experiences with friends and friendly strangers.

We’ve got new games, old games, dice games, card games, party games, strategic games and quite a few games with sheep in them. They all have just two things in common: They’re far from digital…and quite possibly just the thing you’ve been waiting for to take your mind of your humdrum adult life.

'BUT I DON’T KNOW THE RULES FOR ALL THE GAMES I WANT TO TRY'

Fear not! You can pop by any day and learn new games, but expecially on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays there will be friendly volunteer game gurus around to help you get started. And if there are no game gurus in sight, ask the bartender if he or she can help you. Often some of the other guests will also step in with some rules help (yes…we have absolutely 100 procent wonderfully helpful guests). So you don’t need to know any rules at all. All you need is an appetite for fun and games.

'WHAT DOES IT COST'?

It’s always free to pop by the café and hang out and drink coffee, beer og just to chill. There will also be lots of great games you can play for free.

But if you want to gain access to ALL our 500 games, we’ll ask you to support the Bastard Café by acquiring either a membership for the café for DKK 125,- or pay a one-person-one-day fee DKK 25,-


The membership is valid for both you personally AND a guest and gives you a whole year of unlimited gaming.

Kids under 12 years of age plays for free if accompanied by an adult.

COFFEE IS OUR THING, BUT NOT THE ONLY THING WE DO

We love our COFFEE. A lot. And we hope you will too. We roast our own coffeebeans and are at the moment building an espressomachine from scratch. So we put a lot of work and love into making you a good cup of black. Expect high quality coffee served with soul.

If you’re more into TEA, don’t despair. We’ve got you covered. One of our partners is Østerlandsk Tehus from where we get all our teas. This means that we normally spot around 20 different blends.

The BEERS we don’t make ourselves though. But they are still cold, refreshing and plentyful. And if you’re feeling peckish, try our BAR FOOD. Some prefer the nachos, others are more into triple-decker-double-cheese-double-meat toast (aka “The Big Bastard Toast of Doom”) or our vinegar fries.

NO NEED TO RESERVE A TABLE
We do not take table reservations for private parties, since we want to keep as large a part of our 300 square meters of gaming space as accessible to all, as possible. Instead we’re running on a first-come, first-seated basis regarding tablespace. Most days this won’t pose a problem for you, since we do have a lot of space, but expect Fridays (from around 17.00) and Saturdays (from around 15.00) to be very busy. At these days there can be some waiting time for a free table, but fear not – we usually manage to fit people in. Also, if you ask in the bar, the friendly staff can sometimes help put up some more tables.

Today we've been testing colors for the no less than 170 acoustic panels we're getting pros from Alpha Akustik to install in the café, to help improve the sound environment when 200 people are playing games at the same time and having (noisy) fun doing so. An operation like this ain't cheap, but we think it's worth the investment, and it's something you've asked for. Hope you'll like it when it's done in a few weeks, and thanks for your support. It's because of you buying cokes, nachos, beer, coffee etc. that we now have the means to improve the café. Hugs. We love you (and we loooove to build shit). So keep gaming and we'll keep developing the place :-)

Sponsored Game of the Month: ATLANTIS In February's sponsored game of the month, you may be eaten by sea animals... An island made up of 40 hex-tiles is slowly sinking into the ocean (as the tiles are removed from the board). Each player controls ten people that they try and move towards the safety of the surrounding islands before the main island finally blows up. Players can either swim or use boats to travel but must avoid sea serpents, whales and sharks on their way to safety. Atlantis is slightly chaotic, but in a good way, easy to learn and fun for friends an families alike. All of February we'll have lots of free copies to try and you can even buy a copy with a 20% discount if you like it so much you simply have to own it. Check out The Dice Tower's video review here -> https://youtu.be/fLg0a4s9LHQ
