Pdk NINE is a great place to meet new people in Mount Laurel
Looking to play some games but don’t already have a group? Pdk NINE is a board game café in Mount Laurel with plenty of ways to enjoy the space on your own or make new friends. 800+ games on the wall, a café if you just want a seat, and nights built for walking in alone and making new friends. Open daily 12–8, Sunday 12–6.
Here’s how the room works when you show up on your own.
Sit with a coffee and a book. You don’t need to pay to use our board game library if you’re just hanging with a drink. Read. Work. People-watch. You never know who’s looking for one more player or looking to strike up a conversation. We have a great community of friendly nerds here who are always looking to share interests with like-minded people.
Walk in and play. Walk-ins are welcome to use our board game library with purchase of a pass (game block). Pick something off the wall, roll a random game, or ask us to teach you. We have a number of games that are great for one. Want a table with other people? Let us know at the counter and we’ll make an introduction if we know of any groups that are looking for more players.
Come on a Looking for Group night. Weekly on Tuesdays. No registration. We set the tables aside and dedicated time on the calendar. You sit down with other people who walked in the same way you did. Themes change — New in Town, Over 30 & Nerdy, and whatever else is up. Head over to our calendar to see what’s happening this month.
Join a night that’s already a room full of strangers. Blood on the Clocktower is social deduction and a great game to join as a single. Bingo is the same energy. Even trivia: don’t wait for a full team, come on in — there are often other singles who are looking to combine their strengths and win it all. There are plenty of other events on the calendar that are great for just showing up and having a great time, either in a group or on your own.
Sit at a house D&D table. One night, one table, people you haven’t met yet. Call ahead at 856-206-9615 — seats are limited. Beginners are always welcome and no experience is necessary for our regular events. More on Table Top.
Craft with other people. Slay & Play is casual crafting, second Saturday of the month, 1–4 PM. No art degree. Whatever we’re making that month is on the calendar.
What it costs, in short. A drink is just a drink. Playing from the library (or joining someone else’s table) is a game block: $10 all day Monday–Thursday, $10 for three hours Friday–Sunday. Hosted nights are on the calendar and may have different costs. Those tickets generally get you library access around the event.
