Knight Moves Cafe

Knight Moves Cafe in Coolidge Corner has hundreds of board games on its shelves, and one game fee covers you from the minute you sit down until closing time. It’s $10 a player on weekdays and $15 on weekends and holidays, and the staff will teach you the rules if you’ve never played.

It stays open until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, which makes it one of the best late-night plans in Brookline that doesn’t involve a bar crawl. Bring a group of eight or more and you’ll want to reserve a room. Order something from the kitchen, pick a game you’ve never heard of and settle in for the night.
