What counts as a board game café in St. Albert

A place built around playing: cafés with games libraries, board game bars, and dedicated game shops with play space. We map community data plus Foursquare's venue directory, since cafés are thinly tagged on the map. What doesn't count: a pub with one chess set, and online-only sellers.

St. Albert sits about 54° north of the equator, so it gets proper seasons. Winter is peak game-night season: dark early evenings, the perfect excuse to gather a group around a table for three hours.

Game night smarts for St. Albert

No mapped game spots yet, but the game-night skills work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• Tip the games teachers. If someone spent twenty minutes teaching your table, that's service. Tip like it.
• Check the events calendar. Tournaments, learn-to-plays, designer nights — the calendar is where the community lives.
• Learn one game well. Regulars have their game. Pick one from the library, learn it properly, and become the table's teacher.
• Check the games library size. The shelf tells you everything. A hundred games means a real venue; a dozen means a café with a shelf.
