The Dice Box, a growing national chain of board game cafés with venues in Leamington Spa, Worcester, Eastbourne, Peterborough and Stockport, is bringing its huge library of games to Sheffield – with a new site set to open at the Nichols Building in Shalesmoor.
Work is already under way to transform the first-floor unit of the historic building – also home to R1SE Urban Spa – into a welcoming gaming hub, complete with over 700 board games for guests to choose from. You can browse their full collection here.

Table bookings will be available in hourly slots, priced from just £2.50 per person, with unlimited access to the games library during your stay.
While you play, you can take advantage of table service from the café’s food and drink menu, which includes light bites, burgers, deli-style ciabatta rolls and sweet treats. Drinks-wise, expect coffees, smoothies, soft drinks and indulgent American-style milkshakes – plus a boozy menu of beers, wines and cocktails for those fancying something stronger.

The Dice Box team said on their website: “… play as many games as you like from a library of nearly 700 games. We can help you choose games and, if we know the rules, even help you to get going! While you are here we also have table service food and drink so you can eat, play and relax.”
Alongside the games library, there’ll be a retail section where guests can pick up titles to take home and keep the fun going.

An opening date is still under wraps, but keep your eyes peeled for updates – and give them a follow on Instagram here.
