In the past couple of years, the rise in interest opened many cafe’s. They are opening all over Toronto with places such as Snakes & Lattes. The main target audience is millennials for these cafe’s and it’s due to a nostalgic factor and that they are the last generation to be raised on board games. Also, with millennials having so much debt, going to a cafe for a coffee and to play free games is a financially responsible way to enjoy yourself.
