Concept Medley Night at Boardroom Cafe

We teamed up with The Boardroom in Burlington, VT to show off all of our finished games and even a couple of games that are still in the play-testing phase. We had a blast saving the world, making honey, and finding birds!

The Boardroom opened late 2019 amid a lot of buzz. It currently boasts 500+ board games that range from the classics to the top 100. It's a welcoming, well-lit space that has cozy couches, small and medium tables, as well as a large boardroom table (where we finished our Board Game Fam Charterstone campaign last year). There's comfort food and beverages of all kinds, including milkshakes.

When we met the owner, Kerry Winger, at the Champlain Games Festival last spring, she was interested in having us come in and show off our stuff. After the cafe opened, she hadn't forgotten about us! After visiting a few times and getting a feel for the space, we picked a night and started advertising.

Figuring out how it was going to work was the biggest challenge. We printed out and laminated rules, we dug up our extra copies of some games, we brought out our posters, and we stationed ourselves at tables.   

Several people from the board gaming community came to play our games.  Fellow local game designer, Nathan Meunier (who has a Kickstarter as of this writing) came and we got to talk shop.

Some of our lesser-played games got to the table giving us the opportunity to show something different. New ideas for old games emerged. BirdSpot, a roll and write currently being designed for a contest, was brought out and play-tested. 

Coming soon to the Boardroom: Giant 27Panic! — a floor-sized version of our time-traveling, train-path-building  co-op game. Stay tuned for dates.

Have you ever been to a board game cafe? What did you like about it?
