Have you ever been to a boardgame cafe or restaurant? Back home in Canada I went to one in Vancouver and my friend and I actually played Pandemic. It was a great time!

RPGs are my favourite genre of video games so I think I would enjoy these games you mention. Especially fantasy or space themed ones like the two you mention above. What's always stopped me from getting into boardgames is that they are so expensive. But I guess if you think about it, it's the same price as a video game.

Thanks for the advice and thanks for the follow, both on here and on Facebook. :D
