Board is now $339.15 on Amazon, down from its $399 list price.This isn't a big-screen game console; it's a mix of board gaming and retro tabletop bar video games. The flat-lying 24-inch touchscreen tracks the physical pieces you slide, spin and pick up. Includes the co-op cooking game Chop Chop and the six-game Retro Arcade Collection.Those seven games and pieces are essentially modern takes on Asteroids, plus Chop Chop is a co-op culinary party game in the vein of Overcooked. You can expand your library with additional packs, but there's no subscription, and you can buy extras one at a time.Save $59.85Board Board.fun - the Board Interactive Tabletop Game Console: was $399 now $339.15 at AmazonAs the name suggests, Board is a 24-inch tabletop touchscreen console that uses physical pieces as controllers. Its PieceSense tech tracks each piece’s position and movement, blending board-game fun with video games, entirely subscription-free.View DealWhy is Board worth a look?The 24-inch anti-glare screen suits families and groups, with solo, co-op and competitive modes. There’s Wi-Fi 6 and 64GB of storage under the woodgrain-effect frame. It ticks my need for a new way to play games, feels retro and modern all at once, and I can see the family loving this like they do Nex Playground, particularly as some of the games feature party play and Tamagotchi ideas – Mushka is a little dog that lives inside Board and can be played with.The pieces are the smart idea here. Board’s PieceSense tech identifies each piece, where it is, and how it’s moving, so kids who’d fumble a standard controller can pick up a plastic spaceship and fly it straight away. That active interaction gives Board an old-fashioned Nintendo appeal.Get the extra Board games:Save $36.95Board Board.fun - Signature Game Collection: was $184.75 now $147.80 at AmazonThe Signature Game Collection pack, Board’s five most popular games, is 20% off.
