Board Game Cafe Red Button (Seoul's Unique Cafes #06)

A board game cafe in Korea is a cozy venue where people can gather to play various board games while enjoying drinks and snacks. These cafes typically offer an extensive collection of board games, ranging from classic to modern favorites. Customers can rent a table and spend hours playing games with friends or join in on gaming events organized by the cafe. It's a popular hangout spot for young adults and families seeking a fun and relaxed social experience. And as summer approaches, it's the perfect place to escape the heat and humidity in air-conditioned comfort.
