Board Games Add Fun
At Home & At Cafes
Old-fashioned board games that families play at home are the new in-thing to do in big city cafes.
Whatever the age, the participants at the Snakes & Ladders Annex don’t mind acting like kids again. The focus is on playing strategic games like Carcassonne, Settlers of Catan or plain old Trivia.
It’s about having fun with your friends instead of being buried in a digital gadget.
The same conviviality can be seen in similar board games cafes across the globe; from India, Thailand and Mexico to Manhattan, Boston and Los Angeles.
The cafes evoke the same comfort we try to create at home.
Earth-toned spaces are filled full of pillowy nooks, and there are dedicated tables for on-going board games.
Soft couches to sink into are strategically placed, and the air is suffused with chai spiced tea or coffee brewing. No need for fancy meals to energize everyone; just plates of crunchy snacks or a pot of home-made soup on the stove to accompany a warm french baguette is all that is needed.
How nice to see people of all ages and backgrounds connecting together with laughter and story telling while rolling the dice.
We can do more of this in our homes today where a quality of life experience is more important than lots of meaningless stuff.
If you are just craving to buy something – head for a game store to purchase some ‘fun’ board games.
Better yet, if you are in the market to start a new business -be a courageous entrepreneur, and serve the community at the same time.
Flexible spaces could be utilized for craft circles, board game hang-outs, and a spot for philosophical book clubs to meet. Staff experts could be available to teach the rules and ‘up’ the game.
Small communities like Brentwood could piggy back on the models started in big cities.
What a great place for mothers to operate with mentor-ship programs to teach young people business and confidence building skills. And of course, many of these teenagers are the board games experts who can get teach the younger kids.
Confronting modern life is about executing the most effective strategies.
What better way to build up an arsenal of strategies than having fun learning new games and connecting with different people face to face.
