NT$ 150/ NT$ 100 | Board Games | 보드게임 | ボードゲーム | 桌遊 國際交流

Roll dice, pour some free green tea, and make friends from other countries across the table. Taking turns gives you natural things to talk about, and a bad move makes a good conversation starter.

How it works

Everyone sits down, picks up a game, and talks. The main table languages are English and Mandarin, so you can practice the one you're learning while you play. Korean and Japanese speakers are just as welcome. 보드게임, ボードゲーム and 桌遊 all mean the same thing here: let's play.

You don't need perfect grammar. You just need to be willing to ask "wait, whose turn is it?" in at least one language.

What it costs

Getting there

Hua The Building, Room 2, 5th Floor, No. 575, Linsen North Road, Zhongshan District, Taipei. It's a short walk from Zhongshan Elementary School MRT Station.

Pro tip: Shuangcheng Street Night Market is right nearby. You can eat before you play or celebrate your win (or get over a loss) with snacks afterward.
