imagine playing pubg mobile on this game table
Where can I buy please and price??? There are Place not sicurity. Please help me
What are the costs going to be for new games or apps?
How many games are available as of now???
Bring me a DnD and I am definitely going to buy it
This was a year ago you would think it would be done already and released
1:46 The games
For the price it would be nice if as they come up with better ideas and add games that the ones that are out already had an upgradable feature to add-on or update to the lastest versions or graphics they’ll use later!
can you play 1v1v1v1 solitaire ?
PROS: It saves you space of having a closet full of board games, the apps may save you money vs expensive board games, you dont have to set up or clean up, it actually streamlines the rules so you know you are playing correctly, online play can be neat. If the games are made well then the animations and sound effects could be fun. And if a game becomes available digitally then it doesn’t go out of print as easily, (things do get taken down because of copyrights etc though, so nothing is forever!).
CONS: Everything i just said you can already do with video game board games, of which there are many. This is just a big tablet. (For example Ticket to ride and Pandemic are already out on both consoles, tablets, and PC. You dont NEED this table for those.) And so anything you can do here, you can do on a tablet. But its neater and bigger, but that means you also have to store this thing that basically has one use. And will many future titles be supported? How many publishers? If all it has is a few mainstream games then pass, as there are hundreds/thousands of cool card and tabletop games that are out there. And for games like Monopoly, you can buy a LOT of them before you hit the $600 mark… And will the digital versions be much cheaper? Im thinking if physical Monopoly is $20, Id pay $5 for the digital. Some games can be really expensive, but you can also sell them. (I sold HeroQuest for a small fortune). Also way easier to bring a board game to a friends house — yes this has online but thats not what board games are for — i can already play games with people online, board games are literally what i do when i want to hang out — if i want online I dont think a board game is what id reach for?
And i think imagination is a big part of board games, if this just animates them for you, it really is much more of a video game, (which i also love), but is a very different thing. And physically holding dice, moving really cool crafted miniatures, or holding the cards is a BIG part of games. The Operation example she used that was freaking apples to oranges! Holding those tweezers in hand is an experience you NEVER forget, using your finger for a boring maze doesn’t nearly compare. You all saw it. Connect Four is better as a physical game, hands down.
So know going in, if you REALLY want the board game experience, nothing I saw here beats a board game, but if you just want video game versions of that, its cool. i dont know if you need this vs a tablet, but being bigger is neat — if they can make it that its my coffee table too, then maybe Id buy. But it just isnt a one-to-one for board games. it needs new different functions. I mean i took games camping played when power was out when internet was out. This limits those abilities. Ironically i think Id be playing real physical board games on this as a table half the time ha-ha
My real life comparison is to their arcade cabinets. They are cool, i went to a place that had a bunch. but first off, they arent the same size or build quality. It felt different. And then it was free play, there was something about knowing i paid $300 but i can just play until i beat it (most arcade games are not long), vs getting $10 of quarters at an old arcade and getting as far as i could. It was NOT the same experience. I think at best they look neat in a collectors room to be honest.
Neat idea, but id like to see more to make it differentiate itself from a big tablet that they make low budget game apps for. Like an actual coffee table, or as others have said — physical dice and cards and pieces that can be read by the table, maybe an VR or IR augmentation?
U.
$900 is a rip off
We see the big name content, but what about independent board games and user created content?
This needs Hero Quest. It’s “the greatest board game ever made & anyone who says otherwise is wrong”.
Try remakeing , “Nightmare” the game, and “Darkworld”, to roll dice and move out of parents house.
I’m excited for the future of products like this !!!
I think if we could have it as a coffee table or something this could be so so successful!!
can you send me a list of all the games installed?
This is a fake factory sie dosnt speak of Our email
For almost $1,000 for the 32″ it’s a no. Wait several years until that price is realistic, or it’s a hard pass. Add that it constantly advertises the store, has a bad interface and glitches frequently and it’s an easy no. There is a market for this, but apparently we have yet to have a quality product available.
Amazon has the table for $1466.99 No gaming table is worth that much. Sorry. Also, this gaming table has been reviewed by another owner who paid $1000, and he stated it is NOT worth the $1000. Multiplayer play is still an issue. You just can’t play anyone out on the internet. You must physically know someone who has the game table.
For alll that money and the screen looks small
J ai payé et je n’ai rien reçu et je ne suis pas la seule
I really think I could easily re build this with a raspberry pi and a touch screen of some kind
Would you NEED a second table to play any games with secrecy? Battleship, Scrabble, etc?
germany release date?
does the table have old arcade classics like galaga, pac-man, etc..
Wait I found the same thing for 26 pound brand new
This looks dope
Framerate looks abysmmal for 2023 standards
Why is this 29.99 right now on Facebook 🤔
crap rather buy a ps5 should be worth around maybe 200
Why not just play a real board game??
Ma e’ tutto in inglese?
32inch board only not worth it, bad enough with the normal tv for the neck and back pain. You want to encourage people to play on look down? Is a no no. How you going to deal with 4 player Mahjong Richie? You need 4 different tablet to able to hold up right? 😂
