With a massive collection of 250 board games, the cafe’s relaxed atmosphere and low prices offer a perfect opportunity to spend hours of fun with friends. Located in Adyar, The Board Game Lounge is Chennai’s first exclusive board game cafe. People can also bring their games and play.Īddress: 53/23, Third Main Road, Gandhi Nagar, Adyar From games like Forget That, Chump, and Pictionary, to Five-Second Rule they have it all. There are board game events every month as well to encourage the culture,” says Akshaya and Nithya, the founders of Backyard. “We have handmade board games with a personal touch. The co-working space has active board game sessions since its inception in 2017. It forces them to engage.”Įvery table at Backyard has some element of interaction - a butter sheet that can be used to play tic tac toe or a riddle stuck on one of the corners. It also pushes people to enjoy the moment rather than constantly be on their phones clicking selfies or messaging. This way, the customer can have a fun time. “Since we make fresh food and have nothing that is pre-made, food preparation takes some time. “The board games have now become the USP of our restaurant,” says Koushik Raghavendra, the proprietor of the one-year-old restaurant. Jenga, Scramble, Snakes and Ladders, Chess, Tic-Tac-Toe and Indian Ludo - the restaurant has games that suit everyone’s sensibility. This chain of restaurants with branches in Mylapore, Nungambakkam and Velachery has a number of board games that customers can play while they wait to be seated. What started off as just Snakes and Ladders behind the menu card became a way of life at this restaurant. Geographically too, this side of the city hardly has any cafes so ours is a unique haunt that people can visit to chill,” says Ko Sesha, proprietor. “The cafe is a community hotspot because there are a number of options available to engage - books, board games and even a space for open mics. The cafe has a beautiful outdoor seating area too. But if you are looking to doing something fun and laidback while you sip a hot cuppa and munch some tasty vegetarian munchies, head here to play a game of Monopoly, Scotland Yard, Scrabble, Chess, Uno, Jenga or even Pallanguzhi! The ambience is warm and a special mention must be made of the book wall. The lending library continues to operate and is an ideal place for bibliophiles. The three-month-old cafe is attached to what once used to be Bookworms library. Nestled in a residential locality in KK Nagar, this quaint cafe is the perfect escape if you’re looking for a place to unwind amid books and board games. We can also find mystery board games like Ludo, Corridor, Murder Mansion, Monopoly and Battleship.
In an effort to appeal to people who are not very active in the board game community, they have a mix of easy-to-play games. We have kept recognisable board games so families find it easier to play and do not have to break their head over rules,” says Nahshon J Benjamin, events manager of Ashvita. When we host events, the board gaming communities bring unique board games that are unheard of. Children sit for six hours together and play when they come for birthday parties. The idea was to create an artistic space for people to communicate and connect. The gaming scene at Ashvita Bistro, Alwarpet gained momentum in 2013 when a few board games were purchased for an event they had organised. The cafe has 170 varieties of smoothies, made from locally sourced natural ingredients without preservatives. The OMR branch is open till 3 am in the night. Games are certainly a major crowd puller,” says S Sriram, Chennai area coordinator. Patrons spend at least an hour in the cafe. When people enter Drunken Monkey, they don’t ask for the menu, they begin by choosing games and then the shakes.
