There are more than 350 boxes of board games on the shelves and free green tea in the pot. Add a table of locals and internationals who'd rather roll dice than make small talk, and that's your Saturday on the 5th floor of Hua The Building in Zhongshan.
Roll dice, swap languages, leave with friends
Grab a box. With 350+ to choose from, picking one might be the hardest game of the night. Then sit down with people you haven't met yet. Somewhere between reading the rules out loud and arguing about who actually won, they stop being strangers.
People at the tables speak English and Mandarin. That makes it a relaxed place to try out your 中文 or warm up your English, and nobody's grading your tones. Board games, language, culture, and a bit of friendly trash talk.
