The downside of spending every day in the city is that one occasionally misses out on something interesting in the quiet, extended suburbs. The buzz of a new board game   haunt in our neighbourhood of Dombivli surprised, and delighted us in equal measure. We decided to pay it a visit over the weekend to check out this new hangout.

Bright and cosy, the Mind Games cafe is located in a mall right opposite KV Pendharkar College. Surrounded by massive signboards for a fast food chain, it’s easy to miss the cafe on your first outing. But the milling college crowd around the entrance of the mall is happy to guide us.
