In 2020, I (Rebekah) had the pleasure of meeting someone who would soon become one of my dearest friends. Our connection was instant, sparked by our shared interests and the discovery that we were remarkably alike–so much so that we playfully declared ourselves “85% the same person.” Yet, as our friendship deepened, we realized that, while the 85% in common made us good friends, it was the 15% that was different that made us great friends. From this realization the name for The 15% Board Game Café was born. Our mission is to celebrate and cherish the differences that make each person special while bringing them together with a common theme: games.
