Board game fans Emma and James McFadden are using Kickstarter to help fund a dedicated board game cafe in Grafton.
Emma McFadden says the idea came after the couple visited a similar cafe in Toronto last year.
"It was welcoming, fun, and everyone was having a great time."
To help fund their dream and make the Cakes n Ladders cafe on Symonds Street a reality, the couple has raised nearly raised $8000 using the crowd funding platform Kickstarter.
"We wanted to give Aucklanders the opportunity to collaborate with us, giving them a chance to be a part of Cakes n ladders from the get go. This includes choosing games and coming to our opening party."
