Came here to play board games on a Sunday afternoon. It sits on the street forested by other residential houses - if it wasn't for the sign and the windows peering the interior, I could've sworn people lived in there :P Kinda out of a storybook, especially on the snowy day that we went.
We made a reservation just in case it would be full on a Sunday, but luckily it wasn't too packed. What makes a board game cafe is not just the variety of games - though I did appreciate this one having had .. e.g., Chinese checkers, which the board game cafes downtown didn't have. For these cafes, it's really the service that keep people coming; and chit-chat-play was great for this :)
I think it was either the manager or the owner of the cafe that decided to teach us how to play one of the games that we chose, which was a really nice gesture considering we didn't even ask :) He then brought out two more games that he thought we'd enjoy with our party size. And so, I'll probably come back here next time I'm in the area with a group of friends :)
