Someone rolls the dice, the table holds its breath, and a groan comes out in three languages at once. Then someone pours another cup of green tea and the next round starts.
This is a casual board game night in Zhongshan for locals and internationals who want to meet new people across a table. You don't need to be fluent in anything. English and Mandarin are the main table languages, and pointing at game pieces works fine too.
What it costs
Green tea is free, so you can sip while you plan your next move.
Where to find the table
Hua The Building, Room 2, 5th Floor, No. 575, Linsen North Road, Zhongshan District, Taipei. It's a short walk from MRT Zhongshan Elementary School Station.
