The OP Games Wraps Midwest Tour With Minnesota State Fair Stop
ST. PAUL (WJON News) -- The Minnesota State Fair is in full swing this weekend and has plenty in store for visitors. In addition to all the regular attractions like the midway, grandstand shows, the amateur talent contest, and food, numerous touring promotional events are taking place.
The OP Games is at the fair on Saturday and Sunday, wrapping up their Midwest summer tour. Tour Manager Gregory says the tour is all about making connections:
"We're just popping up. This is our last stop. We're just here to connect with everybody face to face with this amazing community, and we're just hoping to get as much human connection as we can and create a bunch of interactions, laughter, and fun and create some family moments."
The OP Games were showing people how to play some of their games like "Blank Slate" and Tapple" and handing out copies of their hit card game "Flip 7."
Gregory says people have been sharing their love of the game with them:
"Oh, 100%, we have so many people come by talking about how they love "Flip 7," and they talk about all kinds of the different versions, the afterdark version the "Flip 7 With A Vengeance," so it's super great hearing about how people really enjoy the game."
Gregory says the latest versions, "Flip 7 Hello Kitty and Friends" and "Flip 7 The Nightmare Before Christmas," are available on their website now.
