I love board games
and I could be very
competitive too. That’s why I spent 9 hours in Ludo
last year. But since I got busier with work, I wasn’t able to visit that puzzle
heaven anymore. There are actually a lot of board game places now like Dyce N Dyne which I have yet to visit
too. One night, C posted something that made the gamer in me so excited.
Puzzle Board Game Lounge now has a Fort
Strip branch! Woohoo!
Since it’s quite near work, we
decided to head there on the last day of work before the long weekend. And
because we want to make sure that we have a table, C reserved one for a party
of 8.
But when we arrived, 5 minutes
before our reservation, there was no table available! The server and (I guess)
the owner said that there were a few walk-ins and they accommodated them. It
made me upset. What’s the point of reserving then? But what made matters worse
was there was another party of three who walked in and they were given a table
and seats before us (as soon as a table was cleared)! I told C that if I was
not with them, I would have walked out already but since everyone was eager to
play games and enjoy the night, we stayed.
After 20 or 30 minutes of standing in
the middle of a very narrow walkway in front of the counter where everyone who
try to cross to the other side will bump you, we finally managed to get a table
for 5 pax. Remember that we needed a table for 8? They claimed that the table
we had was good for 8. Yes, it is possible if the other three were floating.
(Just thinking about it annoys me!)
Anyway, we just sat down and ordered.
I decided to get Fried
Chicken and Cheese Pasta
(PHP250) and a bowl of Mushroom
Soup (PHP160). While waiting, I snacked on a pack of Sky Flakes.
Our food arrived as we were playing
Dirty Minds, a game that will test how clean or dirty you think.
My pasta
was very creamy
and heavy. It’s actually good for sharing. The fried
chicken was also crisp. What I didn’t like about it though is that the
sauce was quite
sweet. It also had that umay
factor and my taste buds grew tired of it before I reached half of the portion.
After a while, my annoyance slowly
disappeared and I started to enjoy the games. We only played two as one round
of Monopoly Deal took a bit over half an hour. The game selection of Puzzles is
a lot smaller than Ludo but it’s pretty good. They have games for a huge group
and fun ones like Twist.
I’m not so sure if I’ll visit again as
the service was really disappointing and I also do not like the idea of
spending PHP100 to play when I already spend on food. Then again, the That Cookie Dough (PHP160) dessert sure
was yummy.
Puzzles Board Game Lounge is located at Fort Pointe 2 Building, Fort Strip,
28th Street, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.
