"Knight Moves" board-game café proposed for Teele Square

Brookline's Knight Moves, which describes itself as "New England's only board game café", proposes to open a second location at 1159 Broadway in Teele Square. The store would provided non-alcoholic refreshments for board gamers who would pay a daily or monthly fee to play there.

Here are the planning staff report and an interior blueprint.

A Boston.com article says that Knight Moves will have a BYOB policy, though I see no mention of that in the city's report EDIT: has now been edited to say that Somerville does NOT allow BYOB and that this new location has no plans to offer that option.

Here's a Somerville Journal article about the proposed cafe.

Yeah, Oath Pizza makes tons of sense in South Station where people are waiting for trains leaving soonish and thus food must be quick, but seems weird in DS.

Totally excited about Knight Moves, though.
