Just a few days after San Francisco Giants right fielder Hunter Pence alluded to a scheme to open a coffeehouse and diversion hub, he and his mother Alexis with their partners have spilled some-more sum about a stirring business.
Let’s start with a bad news first: Coral Sword, as it’s dubbed, will be in Houston, in Pence’s home state of Texas — utterly distant from where Pence and his fans now live in a Bay Area.
Besides that vital inconvenience, a judgment sounds flattering cool:
CCG (Coffee, Comics Games) will redefine expectations for inclusivity in gaming. Combining indie house games, a curated comic selection, and specialty coffee and tea, Coral Sword: CCG desires to turn a special heart for these worlds to collide.

As a orator tells SFGATE, a Pences teamed adult with AMC’s “Comic Book Men” star Ming Chen, Greenway Coffee Company’s David Buehrer, and Sanford Bledsoe III, a “barista/gamer extraordinaire” for a project.
Coral Sword will entice diversion developers to preview their new work for coffeehouse guests, and will underline a co-gaming space accessible to lease for tournaments. There will even be a entirely propitious podcast counter “equipped to bond to an assembly abroad.”

The plan seems to be an easy fit for Pence’s interests. He previously mentioned he loves tournaments and Magic: The Gathering, and on Tuesday, he’ll play barista during a Peet’s Coffee in San Francisco.
“Coffee and gaming are dual of my favorite off a margin activities,” a ball actor pronounced in a release. “I’m many vehement about formulating a space that combines a two. Incorporating new media into a coffee emporium is an sparkling approach for me to move a square of San Francisco to Houston that keeps me feeling connected.”
Coral Sword is set to open in Sep 2017.
