How many times have you gone out with your friends only to end up debating over where to go, where to eat or what to do? How many times have you tried making a decision, only to wind up in the very first and most usual place you hang out in? It’s called A Game of Kahit Saan and many hands are raised in boredom.

Step up your game and avoid having to go through these (realistically difficult) questions again because here are 8 board game places where you can enjoy good food, great vibes, cool games, and amazing company:
