00:00So, we're a board game cafe and we've got a selection of 500 board games.
00:08Come in, take a seat.
00:10We can recommend you all different types of board games.
00:12If you've never played games before, we can find you something easy to play.
00:15If you're an experienced board gamer, we can find you something that maybe you haven't
00:19tried before.
00:20And aside from that, it's quite similar to a normal cafe.
00:23So for food, we do all sorts of things.
00:25We do a 3 for 10 deal where you can get like pretzels, truffle and parmesan fries, burgers,
00:31pizzas, flatbreads, hot dogs.
00:34With drinks, we do like milkshakes and smoothies.
00:37We're really proud of our coffee and our hot chocolates are really tasty.
00:40And we've got a load of herbal teas as well.
00:42I found this franchise because I was doing a job I didn't love.
00:46I thought I should do something that I love.
00:48I love board games.
00:49And I found the Dice Box, immediately knew it was what I wanted to do.
00:54There's four others. I'm the fifth one.
00:55So there's one in Lemton Spa, Peace Bar, Worcester and Sopport.
01:01And so I'm the fifth one.
01:03All games are great. They're tactile.
01:05You use your hands.
01:06You can get off the screen for a little while, give your brain a break.
01:10But you're also developing sort of your strategy skills, tactics.
01:14It's a great social thing.
01:15We've got games that are super easy to learn and just great to play with friends.
01:19And for your little ones as well.
01:21It's a great way to teach them social skills, how to lose at things.
01:25And it's just good to get them off screens, something you can all do together.
01:29And it's just a nice little day out for everyone, I think.
01:32So in the future, and hopefully the near future,
01:35we're going to start doing social gaming nights
01:37where you can come by yourself or as a couple
01:39and we'll pair you with other people to play games.
01:42And we'll start a heavy Thursday where we can take people
01:44through some of the more complicated games and help with that.
01:48So, yeah, there is stuff definitely coming up.
01:50So we're open Tuesday to Saturday, 11am to 11pm, last entry being 9pm.
01:56And then Sunday we're open 11am to 8pm with last entry at 6pm.
02:00And Mondays were closed.
