Some people feel like board games are a thing of the past, while others can’t imagine living without them. If you belong to the second group, here’s a couple of reasons why you should consider looking up board game clubs and cafés in your area.

Shared Interests

Are you a huge fan of board games, but have no one to play them with because none of your friends share your interest? Joining a club is a great way to meet like-minded people who enjoy them as much as you do, and make a lot of new friends.

[Camel Up] In Camel Up, up to eight players bet on five racing camels, trying to suss out which will place first and second in a quick race around a pyramid. The earlier you place your bet, the more you can win — should you guess correctly, of course. Camels don't run neatly, however, sometimes landing on top of another one and being carried toward the finish line. Who's going to run when? That all depends on how the dice come out of the pyramid dice shaker, which releases one die at a time when players pause from their bets long enough to see who's actually moving! • 2-8 Players (20-30min) • When you are part of the cup, it’s always now or never! • #camelcup #camelcupboardgame #camelcup2020 #boardgames #hangoutwithfriends #boardgamepassion #nogadgetnoworries #cafebandung #bandungcafe #boardgamecafe #boardgamescafe

Trying New Things

Board games can come with a pretty high price tag, and it’s difficult to afford to buy your own. If you don’t feel like making such a huge investment, board game clubs are a great place to discover new games and decide for yourself if you like them or not.
