Happy National Video Game Day!
Let us press pause and take it back to the beginning — did you know many video games were inspired by classic board games? From strategy to storytelling, the spirit of play has always been about imagination, creativity, and connection. And right here in Geneva, we have two incredible gaming destinations that celebrate those roots in a big way! Check out our latest video profile on YouTube.
Fair Game Geneva
Located in the heart of downtown at 214 W. State St., Fair Game opened its third location in 2023 in Geneva and brings a family-friendly, community-focused vibe with a stellar mix of board games, card games, and in-store events.
