Empire Board Game Library

Empire Board Game Library is dedicated to fostering creativity, community and face‑to‑face social interaction. The venue houses an extensive collection of board games that range from quick party favourites to deep strategy titles. For a small day pass or ongoing membership, patrons can stay and play as long as they like, sampling new games or revisiting classics. The library is arranged to encourage parents and children to play together, with shelves organised by complexity and theme. Game librarians offer recommendations and explain rules so that first‑time visitors feel comfortable jumping into something unfamiliar. Alongside the games, the café serves coffee, tea, soft drinks and light snacks to keep players refreshed during long sessions. With hours that span afternoons and evenings, the space welcomes families after school, students seeking a study break and gaming groups looking for a regular hangout. Empire Board Game Library’s mission to strengthen community through play makes it a fixture in Albuquerque’s creative scene.
