Playnation

After having brunch at Ronin, We decided to head over to Dhoby area cause Rifdi wanted to try out Cups n Canvas' sweet potato latte! However, we were all pretty full so that had to wait for awhile. Just when we were driving over and deciding what we should do, we passed by Playnation and Rifdi suggested gng there to play some board games! I was super up for the idea cause I've nvr been to such a place before. I've always talked about gng to places such as Mind Cafe but nvr got about doing it.

 

The very first game we played is Police and Thief. This game requires you to think. A lot haha. So basically you choose a person to be a thief and there's a board which shows you all the possible routes the thief can take. The rest of the players are the police and they have to track down the thief. There are different transportation the thief can take and those are subway, taxi and boat. I'm not really sure how to explain it cause it's quite a complicated game haha! But thank god for the staff there who knew how to explain it.

  
 

The next game we played was a lot more straight forward and it's called Slapagories! This has got to be my favourite game of the day cause it got me laughing till I cried hahaha. There are basically 2 decks of cards. 1 deck with alphabets and another deck with a topic. You just have to think of a word related to the topic starting with the alphabet that you've opened to win that round! So basically we just have to open both decks at the same time and smack the table if we know the answer. It's really funny cause the answers we came up with are so ridiculous! So there was this one round where the letter we opened was 'H' and the topic was wedding. Guess what my wonderful sister said. *cues drum roll* Hair. So anti climax right! Well yah it's kind of true but whaaaaaaaaat. Haha! Oh btw, I won most of the rounds hehe.

 

The third game we played was quite an interesting one too and I've nvr actually heard or seen it before. It has a chinese name and at first I was a little apprehensive cause it seemed like it'd be chinese checkers or smth hahaha. Ok but when the staff explained it to us, it was nth like that at all! There's a deck of cards which will be distributed to the players. Each card looks different because there are different types of paths on it. Some might have straight paths while other might be a u-turn or a diagonal one. The aim of the game is basically to force other players out of the board by connecting the cards tgt to form paths.


After being to Playnation, I've been telling all my different groups of friends that we should head over to such places during the holidays cause it's just so worth it and so much fun! It was $9 per person for 4h from 2-6pm that day cause it's a weekend. But if you go on a weekday, it's only $6+ for 4h if I'm not wrong and there's free flow of drinks! Definitely going to go back there someday!
