PC cafes and Nintendo games are all the rage these days, but for me, nothing beats a good ol’ tabletop board game. My friends and I are especially into complicated strategy games, and we’ve been obsessed with Oath ever since its Kickstarter days. When we get tired, we rest with a simple party game, and then we go right back into another Oath session. It’s nerdy, but it’s our favourite way to spend a weekend afternoon.
Whether you’re a chill gamer or a hardcore one, these board game cafes are sure to bring you loads of fun!
