Do you prefer board games or video games? Risk or Call of Duty? Well, in the future you won’t have to choose. Thanks to Square One, a newly designed digitized game board that combines the best of both worlds.
As CNET puts it:
“It’s a touchscreen tablet built into a board game board base, designed to sit on your coffee or dining table. The 19-inch screen is surrounded by a border that uses NFC input to tell what cards or other game parts are placed on it. The game board itself changes depending on what game you’re playing, and each of the demos I tried had a different set of plastic tokens and NFC-enabled cards. “
Adds The Next Web:
“Effectively, Wizma, the company behind the SquareOne, wants the console to be a blend between computer and board games, cherry picking the best of both worlds to try and provide a new experience. This is why the board games console has a number of features that should elevate the usual tabletop experience, including online play with friends, dynamic tutorials, and the option to save and resume games.”
Sounds perfect for my first post pandemic game night. Whose coming over?!
