Arcade1Up debuted the 'Infinity Game Board' at CES 2023. This is a digital board game replacement designed to provide families with hundreds of on-demand board games without the massive amount of physical storage required to have all of these board games at-the-ready. On top of this, the Infinity Game Board removes real-world worries related to physical board games, such as missing pieces or parts.
The game board itself is a large flat touchscreen display with a rectangular shape. This board is optimized to display board games as well as players' pieces, hands, or other game parts. Players are then able to control the board game completely with touch, simulating the experience of playing a real board game but without the hassle.
The Infinity Game Board is currently sold out of preorders, but users can register to hear when the device will next be available on Arcade1Up's website.
