I went exploring on Sunday & discovered a new board game cafe in Jiyugaoka (自由が丘) that opened earlier this year?
There were many of my favourites on the shelf! I'm so happy there's one locally.
It's called:

Went to the #IkimonoGakari concert yesterday, and it was amazing 🤗 Their music is amazing!
If you haven't been to a Japanese concert before this one is wonderful. It's a very interactive concert.

I took a look at Auctions of Alchemists from Japan by solo indie designer Tanax. Whose games are not easily available.
🧙‍♀️It's a clever game that also has fun laughable moments during the auctions
