Show Notes
Cardboard Corner Cafe, a board game haven, was born from a couples love for game nights. Madeline and Chase Davis, married in 2016, transformed their passion into a business, opening spots in Overland Park and Lenexa. The concept emerged when Chase worked in software and Madeline in graphic design and theater teaching. Initially planning a Northland location, they pivoted to Overland Park after TableTop Game and Hobby offered a shared space. The pandemic delayed their launch, but they used the time to refine their layout, focusing on board games, role-playing, miniature war games, and painting sessions. The cafe, connected to TableTop, offers a screen-free environment with a vast game library and no time limits. It attracts a diverse crowd, from kids to seniors, and has a community ambassador for events. The Lenexa spot, in a public market, draws food lovers who stay for games, while Overland Park mixes games with drinks. The Davises believe board games foster real in-person community, and their success proves the concept works.
