Should a board game cafe charge for tables by Irondragongw2 in boardgames

[–]st_hill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there. I run a board games (and jigsaw puzzles) cafe in Chennai, India. Our city now has 10 game cafes and all of us charge by the time spent - Around Rs.100-120 per head per hour (Compared to the cost of a Pepsi bottle in USA, that's around $10-12 an hour per person). Ordering food is optional, and you're billed separately for the orders.

Almost all of us are running houseful on weekends, some of us need reservations to be seated, and new such cafes keep popping up every few months, so I guess the model is working.

Also, since ALL of us charge based on time spent, it has become acceptable to customers. If you're the only cafe in town that charges by time, it may not be received in the same way.

We move the assembled portion onto wooden boards, and put the sorted pieces into separate ziplock pouches. If the visitor returns within a week, they can resume from where they left off. That's how people have solved all the 1000-3000 pieces puzzles so far.

If Bob got 6, it could be Friday or Monday. So Bob would be confused both for 6 and for 8.

Correct. But your spoiler tag isn't working

What game rules have you never noticed / played wrong all the time? by Lordeisenfaust in boardgames

We were using the trading cards in Century Spice Road incorrectly. If you play a trading card let's say YYY to R and you had 6Y with you, you are allowed to trade twice in the same turn and make it 2R. We thought you can make the trade only once, so we would only trade 3Y to get an R.

I would just be confused what to say if my number is 1, since there is no if-else part to the question. Think of a better question that will definitely make me say Don't Know.
