Thanks for reading!
Intro
I am the owner of Mountain Gremlin Games. Like many stores these days I am re-imagining as a board games cafe. Due to a change in circumstances I left the UK and set-up in Ireland. There are a number of empty retail units here that require more than a little work. Therefore I have decided to run a Kickstarter to open up.
What is a tabletop games cafe?
A social place to play games and grab refreshments like tea, coffee and snacks. You simply walk in or book in advance and pay for the session currently €5. This gives you a drink and access to the games library and/or war-games table and terrain.
The good bit
I am working with Laser Cut Architect (marker of detailed MDF kits) to produce some physical rewards for backers. Ranging from coasters, lockable card & token boxes (really useful) to limited edition scenery pieces. Of course there are free sessions and memberships available to backers too.

“Also to create a social space where alcohol and other substances are not required to have fun.”
Right on!

This seems like a slippery slope. If a store isn’t doing well, they just throw up a kickstarter and hope to raise the money to keep them afloat. I’m in the US and was thinking of donating $10. I’m sure if a lot of people did this, the store would reach it’s funding. But what if a store isn’t that great? What if the store has some bad employees that are scaring off customers? In essence, we’re funding a bad store to stay in business. I’m not saying this store is bad. In fact, I have no idea. I’m just thinking about how other stores could abuse this system of staying in business.

I don’t think this is to prop up a failing store, but to get one opened.
