Late last year, my friends and I went out and tried something new. Well, eating isn’t something new, but dining out playing board games, is.

LUDO BoardGame Bar & Cafe
Curious about the word, I googled for what the word Ludo means and found out that it is from a Latin word ludo which means “I play”, and Ludo is actually a board game in which players, using a dice, will race their four tokens from start to finish. So maybe that’s where this bar & cafe got their name.

Ludo BoardGame Bar & Cafe is one of the trending cafes in Metro Manila that not only serves delicious food, but also lets their patrons choose from hundreds of their available board games.
We’re not familiar of these board games. I, for one, only know to play snakes and ladders. Hehe! Yes, I even asked my friends to check if there is at least one snakes and ladders board game. When I was a kid, we had at home a giant board game. Thinking about it now, it was actually a ludo game — it has four houses (one on each corner), 20 tokens of 4 different colors (red, yellow, green, blue), and players race to get all his tokens to the finish spot, taking turns advancing by rolling of a dice.
So, back in LUDO…
We finally decided on PANDEMIC. We went back to our table, unloaded the game pieces, and read the instructions. One staff was so nice she offered to assist us, but we nicely refused. We knew we could do it. Hahaha.

I can’t trust myself in giving details of this game, so just go to this link: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30549/pandemic
We enjoyed this game, but once we have already found all the cure, and it seemed we can’t remove all the virus in all infected locations, we decided it was game over. Hehe! 🤪
The food is good, too, by the way! 🙂 Curry Katsu for the win! 😄
