Based on a simple design and a strategic concept, Blinks is truly a futuristic social board game. The product consists of a number of individual LED-powered tabletop pieces that are responsive to touch, reactive to one another, as well as able to "think for themselves."
Each player gets three Blinks that can magnetically attach to each other; each piece has a 60-second lifespan. The objective of the game is to keep the Blinks "alive" as long as possible by begging, borrowing or stealing. Due to the strategic nature of the game, the portability of the pieces and its light-based gameplay, this social board game is perfect for at-home play, as well as on-the-go entertainment.
