New York City’s board game stores and cafes, we’re coming! We travel around Manhattan and Brooklyn in this NYC vlog, to go to as many FLGS as we can in 1 day. There’s full on retail stores (compleat strategist), but also lots of multi-use areas (Brooklyn Strategist, The Uncommon). Board Game cafes also provide drink, like tea and coffee, as well as some food, like sandwiches, so we get to experiment with those and let you know how we feel. Whether it’s through the subway train, car (uber), or straight walking, this is how we got around the city. There is even Eric M. Lang games (like the area control trilogy), and more casual stuff like Catan and Cards Against Humanity. We even get to talk about our favorite stores!
