Every Thursday, a Bangalore-based community called ReRoll organises an evening of boardgames open to all at Lahe Lahe, a café in Indira Nagar. According to the organisers, about 40 people come each time and about 10-15% of them are first-timers – like I was today – and a similar fraction are regulars, who come every week – as I plan to hereon. It was a fun evening, I played three games: Tsuro, Avalon and Parade. I also met a bunch of cool people (including two I've 'met' only on Twitter) and who I certainly wouldn't have met otherwise. So Tabletop Thursday, as the occasion is called, is also an excellent opportunity to make new friends. More details here.
