    I recently had a chance to sit down with Jason to talk about his shop, and his love for everything board games. It quickly became clear that this business is a passion project; when asked how he came to be the owner of Euclid’s first board game parlor Jason explained that “I had always found joy playing board games and introducing my friends to new games ever since I was a kid.  At first I wanted to open a board game store, over time this developed into a cafe and gaming parlor”. The idea for Omni Gaming had been in development for many years, but it all started with a genuine love for the communal aspect of friends sitting around a table playing a game.

    The Omni Board Game Parlor seeks to attract gamers of all skill levels and interests;  his shelves are stocked with more games than you could count at first glance. With classics like ‘Monopoly’ and  ‘Clue” to modern games that immerse the player in a world of adventure like “Fortune and Glory” or “Vast“, Omni Gaming has a game for every level of skill and experience.  And just in case you’re worried you might be too new to the world of board games, the staff at Omni Gaming want you to know they’re more than happy to help find the perfect game for you.

    Omni Board Game Parlor wants to become an exciting and engaged part of the community; in addition to acting as a gathering place for friends and family to enjoy a night of gaming.  Each month special events will be held offering a fun unique experience. Whether you come for an event or just to enjoy a night of gaming with friends, Omni offers a selection of snacks and soft drinks to enjoy while you’re having fun.  Perhaps the best thing on the menu is the homebrewed “Omni Health Potion” a delicious mix of fruit juices, and secret ingredients sure to give any gamer the energy needed for another round. A glass of Omni potion by itself is worth the price of admission.
