Innovative interactivity with custom game pieces makes this device more than just a fancy tablet with a gorgeous display.

The Board comes with 12 pre-installed games with more coming soon, plus no subscription is needed. It’s an immersive piece of equipment for people who value face-to-face time with friends and family. However, at $699, it’s an investment for a console you can’t use for other things like streaming and music. #board #boardgames #videogames #consoles #gaming #unboxing #tech #gaminggifts

    Nope. Seems like a small selection of games.

    A “game console” that NOBODY NEEDS !! 😂

    If it’s LCD it’s a ripoff that nobody should buy

    I would be very interested in it IF I could play role-playing games on it. Even then, it would probably need to be at least twice as large.

    But just Scrabble, chess and so on? No thanks.

    This is probably just going to be an expensive shelf warmer after a week of owning it. Reeks of abandonware. Neat idea, but unlikely to go anywhere.

    “Super interesting! That board game console looks really cool. 👍”

    Man so companies are really trying to make $699 the standard huh?

    Such a lackluster presentation…

    Yeah, no thanks. I’ll wait for the next iteration of it as I do with all new tech.

    If this thing had a couple of dozen popular, already established board games installed and ready, then it would be worth it. As it stands, for that price, definitely not for me.

    This isn’t going to be a thing

    Kind of cool. The price tag seems reasonable, but more research needs to be done in this.
