Now, you don’t need any more to purchase board games from the store to experience the game. You only need to spend your time at the game pub, order your preferred food and choose from over 600 board games available.

“It started out with kami-kami na magkakaibigan. We really enjoyed playing board games at home. So, we used to buy board games and then we bring it to a friend’s house. Minsan kasi mahal when we buy it individually. So naisip namin, since a lot of people are enjoying board games, we want to give them the experience of playing it na hindi nila kailangan bumili ng actual board games,” shares Leica Moreno, one of the owners of Onboard.
