For all of you board game lovers out there, we decided to pay Games on Tap a visit and create some fun images, pairing games and frames. Jeannette and Sean, the owners of Games on Tap, are incredibly hospitable and the depth of their game knowledge is quite impressive. All I had to say was “music” or “cars” and they new exactly what game to grab that would pair well with some of our unique eyewear.
While you’re getting your game on, Games on Tap also has a very nice selection of drinks, snacks and homemade meals for you to enjoy. One night, instead of a pub crawl or the dancehall, why not spend an evening learning a new game and just how competitive your friends can be? And if you’re having trouble reading the fineprint in the instruction booklets, you know where to go for some prescription glasses…
