There is a smaller and slightly more affordable digital alternative for a board game night with the whole family: the new Infinity Game Board from Arcade1Up.
Arcade1Up's Infinity Game Table: Board Games On Demand [EXCLUSIVE First Look]
The biggest drawback when it comes to playing board games, according to Arcade1Up, is the physical space they take up, particularly storage and cleanup. That’s why the company has developed a line of digital board game tables and is now releasing its new Infinity Game Board.
The game selection is of course important and the Infinity Game Board comes with a variety of games to get you started, but you can download and install more as you please. You’ll find an assortment of 50 games out of the box, with classics like Operation and Connect Four listed, but the offering isn’t entirely aimed at a younger audience. More involved board games like Risk, Monopoly, Ticket to Ride and Pandemic can also be found in the online store.
What sets the new game board apart from Arcade1Up’s gaming tables is mainly its size and price. The board features an 18.5-inch HD 1080p touchscreen (versus the table’s 32-inch display), built-in dual speakers and “tactile feedback”. It also supports up to six players locally (depending on the number of players in each game) and Wi-Fi for online play.
