Just when you thought you'd seen and done it all in the Tar Heel State, someone comes along and proves you wrong with a cafe devoted to America's favorite past time of yesteryear. If you remember the days before cell phones, social media and a bevy of other modern distractions, then you likely remember hauling out a board game on occasion and making an actual connection IRL (stands for 'in real life') with someone sitting across the table from you.
Well, those days have returned at North Carolina's first ever board game cafe called Well Played. Check it out:
The cafe has more than 600 board games! And for a nominal game fee (five bucks per player) you can play any of them for as long as you want.
And that's not all, they have snacks and drinks (including beer and wine).
And not just pretzels and M&Ms, either. There's a whole menu that includes sandwiches, a variety of grilled cheese creations, salads, flatbreads, and snack boards filled with cheese or pita with hummus.
The game variety available seems endless, and it's ever-growing. But you're sure to find some you remember from your youth, like Battleship...
And more. Remember these crazy dudes?
Their game selection is bigger than the games department at Walmart. They have new (as in just invented) games and they have classics. Plus, you'll find stacks and stacks of card and dice games.
And when you're ready for a little snack (who isn't when they're playing board games?) the staff is ready to bring you whatever your heart desires.
I'll take one of these, please!
Well Played is, ironically, well played and this one-of-a-kind board cafe in North Carolina is a barrel of fun waiting for you to join in.
Well Played, the board game cafe, is located at 58 Wall St., Asheville, NC 28801. It's open seven days a week: Sunday - Thursday from noon to 10:00 p.m. and Friday - Saturday from noon to 1:00 a.m. Learn more on the official website of Well Played, the board game cafe.
