Draughts (board game café)

Draughts is a chain of board game cafés based in the United Kingdom. The establishments provide a physical space for patrons to play a variety of board games while enjoying food and beverages. The core concept is to offer an alternative social activity centered around tabletop games, catering to casual players and dedicated hobbyists alike.

Typically, Draughts cafés offer a curated collection of games, ranging from classic titles like Monopoly and Scrabble to modern strategy games and independent creations. Patrons usually pay a fee to access the game library for a specified duration, allowing them to play as many games as they wish during that time.

In addition to the game selection, Draughts cafés also provide food and drink options, often with a themed menu that may include game-related names or puns. They frequently host events such as tournaments, game nights, and workshops to foster a sense of community and introduce new games to their clientele.

Draughts has locations in several cities, primarily in the UK. These locations aim to create a welcoming atmosphere for board game enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels.
