Play a Game

Village Meeple is more than just a game shop. It is Springfield’s first board game cafe. The interior was purposefully designed with an eclectic feel, like being in the home of family or friends. Pull up a seat at one of their many tables and enjoy your favorite snack and drink while playing a game. Bring your favorite game from home or try out a new one from their collection, invite your friends or make new ones. Village Meeple offers a variety of events from group games to clubs, and learn to play opportunities for all ages.

At Meta Games, there’s something for everyone. They have a constantly rotating selection of the latest and greatest board and card games, plus a huge game room. Check out their calendar of events for open gaming nights, clubs, and special game meet-ups.

Queen City Pinball is dedicated to growing the hobby, sport, and passion of pinball in the Ozarks by hosting leagues, tournaments, and events. Whether you’ve never played, haven’t in years, or are climbing the ladder of the IFPA rankings, they’d love to have you as part of Queen City Pinball.

Springfield Rugby Football Club and Queen City Chaos Women’s Rugby are recruiting players—both experienced players and those who have never touched a rugby ball. All shapes, sizes, speeds, and athletic abilities are invited to play the greatest sport on Earth with them! While SRFC is committed to winning on the field, most of the people who continue to be involved show up for the friendships off of the field.

Some of their supporters and fans have never played a minute of rugby, while some are former ruggers whose boots don’t fit as well anymore. Either way, they foster an atmosphere of camaraderie and friendship at the pitch. If you’d like to enjoy a Fall or Spring afternoon outside, have a few laughs, make a few friends, and watch a few guys have a run, grab a chair, maybe a jacket, bring your kids and your friends.

Ozarks Pickleball Club invites you to join the fastest-growing sport in the Ozarks!

Go play, make friends, and discover why pickleball is the perfect mix of fitness and connection through their organized social play, instructor-led clinics, or tournaments!
