Boardgame Cafes are becoming more and more common. Do you have any close by? Have you been there? How did it go?

    No, never been. I just looked whether there are any in the wider region but looks like only bigger cities have any, so an hour by car minimum.
    I don’t even have any LGS though, so a BGC would have positively surprised me.

    I think I would like to visit a really nice one at some point just to try the experience. On the whole I prefer to play my own games - and to buy the games I prefer to play, needless to say - but going to a café with a nice small group and seeing what games they have could be neat.

      i pass by boardgame cafes and sometimes step inside for a tour. Invariably, they smell funky and dirty, and have some seedy smelly dirty people inside. I’m not sure why. But the boardgame (aye even the dnd crowd) is typically filthy hairy and carrying some weird infections. It’s sad, since I’m very very clean (Japanese), and smelly hairy dirty males make me feel somewhat nauseated.
