New venue
For the pen & paper games that Ban and I are in (Ironclaw and Dungeons & Dragons (D&D)), they were used to be held at Mage Cafe. However, the owner of the shop decided to take back the shop and the operator (a very nice lady) just wanted to concentrate on her catering and soap business.
So the hunt was on for alternative venue for the D&D games (Ironclaw had concluded few months ago). For the games that we're in, Ban offered his apartment as a venue. Our initial concern was the number of people but the first try went rather well in my opinion.
In addition, we have also been playing Mage Knight (incidentally, we do not own that game; a friend's friend does) with some friends at Ban's place as well.
As a beneficial side effect, I have been sweeping and cleaning most parts of the apartment each time before guests arrive as it can get really dusty here. I know I could just do it on a smaller area e.g. the kitchen and the dining table where the game is held but once I start, I usually will go on to other area hehe.
So, not only do these games improve our cognitive function by geting us to socialise, strategise and learning new stuff, they also induce exercise (sweep and mop) that results in a cleaner home :)
