Located in the heart of central Helsinki\u00a0<\/span>Caf\u00e9\u00a0Boardgame<\/span><\/i>\u00a0offers a relaxed environment to play the games you love and maybe try something new.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ascending the stairs from the courtyard already gives you a sense of detachment from the mundane. The\u00a0caf\u00e9\u00a0itself is very cozy. The bright blue walls give a nice contrast to the wooden tables. The tables themselves are arranged as booths, which are separated from each other with curtains. This gives the tables a touch of intimacy and privacy.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The game selection is delightfully large with almost 200 games to choose from. In addition to having many games, the<\/span>\u00a0collection is<\/span>\u00a0also quite diverse so whether you\u2019re looking for something simple and quick or if you\u2019re looking to play a complex<\/span>\u00a0game<\/span>\u00a0for hours<\/span>\u00a0Caf\u00e9\u00a0Boardgame<\/span><\/i> has got you covered. The whole selection is available online<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeling thirsty or hungry then you\u2019re in luck:\u00a0<\/span>Caf\u00e9\u00a0Boardgame<\/span><\/i>\u00a0has a great selection of hot and cold drinks and snacks. Our taste tester reported that the paninis are\u00a0<\/span>excellent,<\/span>\u00a0and I can confirm that the beer was also good, albeit a bit pricy. Nothing too unreasonable though, considering that the\u00a0caf\u00e9\u00a0is in central Helsinki. The variety of craft beers from local breweries was admirable.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s best to book a table if you\u2019re planning on spending the whole day at\u00a0<\/span>Caf\u00e9\u00a0Boardgame<\/span><\/i>. We checked the place out on a Thursday, and it was surprisingly crowded. Booking can be done online by Facebook and email or by calling.\u00a0<\/span>Caf\u00e9\u00a0Boardgame<\/span><\/i>\u00a0hosts events almost twice a week, so if you\u2019re looking to attend them or avoid them, it\u2019s best to check online beforehand. The events can center around playing a certain game such as Mahjong, but they\u2019ve also hosted Play with a stranger -days, which sounded especially cool if you want to play but don\u2019t have company.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The service was consistently polite and swift. One of the\u00a0caf<\/span>\u00e9\u2019<\/span>s values is flexibility, which they displayed when not charging us extra for playing 15 minutes over our reserved time. The playing fee was also quite reasonable: 4\u20ac per person for 4 hours, and 5\u20ac for the whole day.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9\u00a0Boardgame<\/span><\/i>\u00a0is the first of its kind in Helsinki and judging from such a positive experience I\u2019d say it will do well in the future. The general relaxed\u00a0<\/span>atmosphere<\/span>\u00a0makes it a great place to bring people who do not have that much experience in board games. Overall,<\/span>\u00a0Caf\u00e9\u00a0Boardgame<\/span><\/i>\u00a0is a great place to play and spend time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
