The business will include the merging of a full-scale restaurant and bar, hundreds of board games for guests to choose from, a retail store, and two escape rooms produced by Nathan Allen, artistic director of the House Theatre of Chicago. Upon his return, the board game enthusiast asked himself, “Why don’t we have anything like this in Chicago?” The idea for the venture came to the popular card game’s co-creator, Max Temkin, about 10 years ago when he visited a board-game café called Snake & Lattes in Toronto. The creators of Cards Against Humanity are set to open the Chicago Board Game Cafe on January 10 in the Margie’s Candies building downtown.
