BORED? Board Game Cafe
« on: September 30, 2014, 06:57:20 AM »
Hi everyone,

I thought I'd just share the good news that my dream of helping set up a board game cafe has been finally been realised.
We've been open over a week now and things are going really well. We've already had several groups come in multiple times even though they had never played boardgames before. We're right smack bang in front of a university so students are our main clientele. We can seat 24 comfortably, but we're already looking at how we can expand.

I'm sharing this because I have Carcassonne and you guys to thank for this. If it wasn't for Carcassonne I'd have never ventured on this crazy but exciting journey. I put a lot of effort into the designs and logo, but it has been extremely enjoyable to do something that I love. My wife also did an amazing job on the feature wall artwork with meeples galore =)

For anyone that wants to check us out (or like us) on Facebook our address is https://www.facebook.com/BoredBG

That's awesome. Great pictures as well.

I'm actually smiling in real life.  :D

That is simply amazing AA! Sounds like you have a perfect location too.

Can you give us a shot of that game library? I see some Catan there in one shot.
I just drew the perfect tile for my MonKnighThieFarmer!

Very Cool.  I've been thinking about opening one too since my local FLGS closed.  Wishing you much success!  :blue-meeple:
