You know what every single town needs? Forget ice rinks, bowling alleys and an industrial sized Primark. Every town needs a pop up Board Game Cafe – and luckily for us, we’ve got one.
Once a month, the Ready Steady Roll team rocks up at Sharnbrook Village Hall with over 100 of the most brillliant board games imaginable. From midday til 4pm, and for the cost of just £2 per person, you can challenge your friends and family to as many games as you like. Sustenance is in the form of sandwiches, jacket potatoes and some of the most mouth-watering homemade cakes we’ve ever seen.
Darrell Cannon is the host with most, not only greeting gamers as they arrive, but suggesting suitable games and explaining rules. We’re thrilled that Darrell has compiled his top five games for our December issue.
Our visit today was the perfect opportunity to try out games we’re considering getting for Christmas and finding suitable gifts for friends and family. Our group ranged in age from 4 to 45 and we found something for everyone to enjoy. The older children and adults enjoyed Ticket to Ride, while the 4 year old discovered the joy of Guess Who? and Looping Louie. We all wanted to have a round of Carcassone and Sushi Go but unfortunatey we ran out of time. We’ll definitely be back!
The Ready Steady Roll Christmas event is on Saturday 17th December and they’ll have a pop up shop selling some of their favourite games. The team also visit schools and retirement homes and offer games for weddings or stag and hen dos, spreading the brilliance of board games for all ages. You can find out more and contact Darrell via their website, or like their Facebook page to keep updated.
