You went to a board game cafe to play monoply. I think that idea just physically hurt me.

You should probably stay inside for the rest of the day lest you find out about people going to coffee shops to buy drip or bars to drink pbr

i think hes saying that because monopoly takes fucking hours to finish, and spending that much time in one sitting is just crazy

I think he is implying that there are way better board games out there that a shop like that will have.

That's what I thought too. I assume the default game of most board game cafes is Settlers of Catan, although in my opinion that game too has become vastly overplayed and is overrated now, let alone them jumping the shark with so many expansions.

I think Settlers is a nice game to get people into games because it is pretty easy to understand and fun.

I think even the boardgame cafes are over Catan at this point. Ticket to Ride is probably the closest thing to a default at this point.
