00:00If you're a fan of board games, or looking for a new hobby this summer, then this place
00:07is definitely for you.
00:11Outside the box is a board game cafe in Bramhall, that's due to open 20th July.
00:17It caters to a wide range of people, from single players, to families, to long time
00:22board game fanatics, with a huge selection of games to choose from.
00:28We spoke to founder Rachel about her love for board games.
00:33The thing I love about gaming, it's pure escapism.
00:36When you're playing a board game, you get immersed in it.
00:39You don't look at your phone, you don't want to look at screens, you just want to concentrate
00:43on the game ahead of you and the other players that you're playing with.
00:47Board games are so interactive, you chat with the other players, you have a bit of healthy
00:50competition.
00:52Cooperative games are great because you're working together to try and solve something.
00:58So that's why I love playing games, just because of the human interaction element and
01:01getting to play with people that you don't know, and making new friends.
01:06As well as games, there will be coffee, cakes, pies and snacks to keep you going during those
01:12long gaming sessions.
