Board game cafes are becoming more and more popular, so it's always exciting to hear of new ones opening up, especially if it's in your area. If you live around Nottingham, a new premier board game cafe, Ludorati Cafe, just opened on March 19th. We posted about the cafe earlier this year when it was running its Kickstarter, but now that it's open, you can see more about what it offers. The library has over 750 games, and there is a dedicated room for VIP treatment. The cafe will serve food, specialty coffee, craft beer, wine, and even milkshakes! The pricing model accommodates people who don't have all day to spend at the cafe - to access the game area, you can choose to pay an hourly rate or get a day pass.
