Board Game Cafe - amenity=* tag needed?

How would you tag a board game cafe? The main attraction is the ability to ‘rent’ a table and play a variety of board games offered by the establishment. Oftentimes these places will sell cafe-type drinks and sometimes alcoholic drinks and food.

In my opinion, “amenity=cafe” and “amenity=pub” are not sufficiently descriptive because the implication is that the primary use is a cafe or pub, respectively. Adding a tag like sport=board_games or board_game=yes, while helpful, only indicate the availability of board games for play at a venue, but do not address the underlying issue that the primary use of the establishment is to play games not consume coffee or libations.

Looking at taginfo, there are a few options:

“cafe=board_game” seems to be the most popular. I was surprised not to see more “theme=board game” (there are lots of e.g. “theme=cat”).

@SomeoneElse I suspect theme came along a bit later. Certainly, we needed something when we mapped the two in Nottingham (and I noted some popularity in Estonia at roughly the same time, and cafe=board_game was what we used.

PS Really ought to check they’re still in business. The cat cafe on Friar Lane seems to be thriving.

PPS. JayTurner has been checking!
