I’ve been living in Central Illinois for a number of years now. Here’s a guide to some good stuff in the area:

Tabletop and Board Games:

  • Titan Games, Champaign
  • Gopher Games, Urbana
  • Red Racoon, Bloomington
  • The Game Preserve, Indianapolis
  • Board Knight, Decatur

Coffee Shops:

  • Brew Lab
  • Mad Goat
  • The Coffee Hound

Coffee Roasters: (Not all of these are local, but I recommend trying all of them)
