The date

Interactivity on Yates cracked the first-date code: sit two people down with a board game, add mild competitive betrayal, and watch the awkward dissolve. Victoria's first board-game café charges eight dollars for unlimited play from a wall of over a thousand games. Flag down a staff game guru for a two-player pick, order paninis and milkshakes, and stay until the weekend midnight close. Decide now who's the sore loser.

How to do it

Pay the flat cover, then flag down a 'game guru' to read the table and pull something perfect for two, let them teach you so you're playing in minutes, not arguing over a rulebook. Order paninis and a milkshake and dig in for the long haul; this is easily a two-to-three-hour sink, and it's open till midnight on weekends. Decide now who's the sore loser, then let the grey weather quietly disappear.
