Board Game Cafe


In Korea, they have this great invention called a "Board Game Cafe".

You go to a place much like a restaurant, you are given a menu, and you even have a "waiter", but the menu does not contain any food items... instead, it contains games.

You choose a game (or ask your "waiter" to recommend one) and play as long as you like. The "waiter" explains the game if you don't know how to play. You can also switch games at any time.

You pay by the hour (about $1.50 to $3.50 per hour per person depending on the Cafe).

We played Jenga, Pit, and Suicide Monkeys. It was awesome.

I almost forgot one of my favorite parts... We were also given a big plastic squeaky hammer and everyone would hit the loser on the head with it.
