Do you think having a 'game night' at a mall is cheesy?

Like at the food court or something?
I started a meetup group in real life.
I like games, but I'm not inviting folk to my house, and I don't want to have that like at a restaurant and look all weird.
I live under a rock so I don't know much.
Do you think that's weird or looks stupid to be playing games in a group at a mall food court??

Again, I want to keep it public...

I've seen it at our mall, as long as they don't kick you out for loitering, whatever works for you is fine.

Do you have a local gaming store to host it?

@MrBrownstone looking to play board games, not video games.

@iamnikki I am talking about like a comic store. There is a few around here. Also you can find places on the app “GameFor”.

@iamnikki I'm guessing he was referring to (board/tabletop) game stores. Many such stores allow people to come in to play the games there. Some host mixes of tabletop miniature war games some nights, board games other nights, and so on.

You're talking about board games, right?

Don't think it's necessarily cheesy, but it is highly dependent on the establishment. If the food court is a place with high customer density, it might not be very popular. And I'd imagine, outside of seating reserved for eating establishments, a lot of malls mostly have benches rather than a good setup with tables for playing games.

I haven't had the chance myself, but some people I knew a while back would go to the pub and play board games (like Munchkin) there. Decent seating, tables, customers usually stay for quite a while anyway so it doesn't occupy valuable customer space for the owners, and access to beer and such.

@PirateMonkeyCabinet Yes, board games. My plan was to eat while playing games. Or eat first, then play.
