Fnd Mindspot Board Game, Redemption from groupon.com.my

Last Saturday, me and friends bought a groupon coupon online for Board Game.
Wow, we were excited! We bought the whole day pass (for up to total number of 6 people with 4 drinks free) for board game at TTDI! Honestly initially I thought we will not be staying there for long, but.. 1 day session didn't seem to be enough for us!

Fnd Mindspot Board Game, TTDI

As the shop opened at 3pm, we booked for 3pm session.

There are either speed based or strategy based game. The owner then started to show us what he had on the shelf. First, he suggested us to do a warm up, so we tried the first game: Jungle Speed.

After few games, we got bored and tried on other games such as: Ticket to Ride-Europe, Pack and Stack, Halli Galli, Cartagena and lastly Power Grid.

Power Grid is the most challenging and time-consuming game. Without realising the time, we took almost 3 hours to finish the game. It's really related to real life where: when there is demand, the available resources will lessen, and the price will go up. You need to balance your life in this game to optimize between buying property, resources/ commodity and power plant.

This is a nice place to hang out at night or weekend. There are over 100 lists of their available board game in FnD mindspot Facebook Board Game List.


Here are the descriptions to the game we played:
