Welcome to NG Meets... episode 31, this week we speak to Damon Mitchell, director at Ludorati Cafe Bar, a boardgame cafe on Maid Marion Way. Listen to this episode, recorded at the venue, as we chat about the venue, the rising popularity of board games, the work the cafe does with local education, hospitals and other organisations, plus Damon tells us about the first board game he remembers playing, based around Tufty the Road Safety Squirrel and we put him on the spot by asking him to pick out three ideal starter games - one for families, one for couples and one for groups.

This episode was recorded before the current Corvid-19 lockdown when the cafe was fully open and functional, as with other venues Ludorati is currently closed until further notice but they are still active on their Facebook page where you can find links to various free gaming resources, information on online events they are running and more.
