\/><\/a>After months of hard work, the cafe is finally open! \u00a0Brian and I had the opportunity to check out <a href=\"http:\/\/thecastlebeverly.com\/\">The Castle<\/a>: A Board Game Cafe\u00a0last Saturday.\u00a0 I was really impressed and so proud of everything\u00a0that they have accomplished.\u00a0 The outside of the building looks beautiful and I love the way their logo looks on the sign. \u00a0The Castle has a great location, less than a quarter mile from the commuter rail train station and in the midst of downtown Beverly.<\/p>\n<p><a

border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So far, The Castle has amassed over 300 board games to play.\u00a0 There\u2019s a $5 flat rate to play games, and customers are free to help themselves to whatever games they are interested in, take them to the table and play for as long as they like. \u00a0The games range from kids games to word games to classics to newer Euro-style games.<\/p>\n<p><a

\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was a bad food blogger on the day we went to The Castle, mostly because I was distracted by my adorable nephews and a couple of friends that we met up with.\u00a0 Brian and I both enjoyed panini sandwiches that were good. \u00a0I really liked the mozzarella cheese on my veggie panini.\u00a0 Later, he had The Castle spicy hot chocolate and I had a Nutella latte, both of which were delicious.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/coffee-and-Dominion-at-The-Castle-Beverly.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

height=\"466\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>During our time at The Castle, we played a Finding Nemo game (at the request of my 5 year old nephew), Munchkin and Dominion.\u00a0 I was really impressed with how busy the establishment was during the time we were there.\u00a0 Just about every table was occupied for the duration of our four hours at The Castle.\u00a0 It was fun to watch my sister and brother-in-law hurry around the place, keeping customers happy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/customers-at-The-Castle-Beverly.jpg\"><img

the goal of keeping people focused on the people they\u2019re with.\u00a0 It was amazing to be in a space full of people who were focused on each other and the games in front of them, instead of staring at screens.\u00a0 I paused for a moment to Instagram a photo and felt really rude and conspicuous.<\/p>\n<p><a

of things, but if early indications are true, things are going to be awesome for The Castle.\u00a0 If you find yourself on the North Shore of Boston, I strongly recommend you check it out.\u00a0 <a
