In Courbevoie, Yujo Games combines a board-game bar and manga café in one venue, a few minutes from La Défense. Visitors can pick a board game, discover new releases, return to a classic or simply take a reading break with a drink and snacks.
Board games and manga under one roof
The venue was founded by three friends, Quentin, Rémy and Ophélie, who wanted a place dedicated to their shared interests. The selection evolves with new games regularly added, while manga offer another way to enjoy the venue between games.
Time-based pricing
In 2026, access to the games costs €5 for the first hour, then €1.50 per additional half-hour. The format suits both a quick game after work and a longer session with friends.
A proper gaming break near La Défense
Yujo Games serves drinks and sweet or savoury snacks during games. The appeal is that it does not depend on occasional events: playing and reading are the venue's permanent activities.
An extra detail
The blend of board-game bar and manga café gives it a different focus from a standard gaming café. Anyone who does not want to join the group's game can stay in the same setting and read instead.
For an after-work outing or rainy afternoon around La Défense, it is an easy place to fit into a day without booking a multi-hour activity.
