    They are decently often in Greece, either as boardgame cafés, or (more often) cafés with boardgames. On the latter it’s rare to have someone to suggest a game or explain the rules so you have to read them yourself. Used to go very often while a student

      Sounds cool. What kinds of board games are played there? Classic card games, modern strategic Euro games, party games or any of those?

        If you mean in boardgame cafés, they have pretty much everything. In cafés with board games, it is mostly faster card games, some games like Jungle speed or 7 wonders and similar, maybe Catan as well

        If you mean in Greece in general, all of those that you mentioned I would say. It depends on the group

          Thanks for elaborating. I’m just generally curious what is being played in other countries. As a German, I always played lots of board games and I for myself prefer complex Euro games.

          It’s interesting that you distinguish between those café types since here in Germany, there is no such distinction. I only know boardgame cafés.

            I would say there is that distinction here too, depending on your city. In Hamburg we have at least one of each kind.

              Ok, it might be the case that I just didn’t realize they exist where I live. In Hamburg, I just know the boardgame café Würfel & Zucker.

            It’s very usual for many cafés to have a couple of board games, especially if they are near a University
