Boardgame Cafes are becoming more and more common. Do you have any close by? Have you been there? How did it go?

sounds cool! We have some boardgame shops that have some get-togethers once every weekend. These are nice but most that we have gone to have a very limited selection of games.

@dpunked There is fairly robust tabletop scene (both board games and TTRPGs) in Madison, Wisconsin where I live, with like 9 game stores in the immediate metro area, and they almost all have game spaces and nights. I used to go quite regularly to the Tuesday night Beers & Board Games group, but my kid's activities make that difficult now. That group had a fair amount of designers attend, and they'd sometimes bring prototypes with them for playtesting, several of which eventually got published.
