Digitized Baduk Board Games

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Conceptual 'Bo' Digital Board Game Has a Futuristic Design

— May 24, 2019 — Tech
The conceptual 'Bo' digital board game is a futuristic approach to the classic Asian strategy game (called Go) that enables players to take on other participants in a high-tech manner.

Designed by Joonho Sung, the game has a digital interface that utilizes light instead of traditional stones, which makes gameplay more streamlined and even more enticing to admire. Each player utilizes a single Baduk stone that rests in a case between turns to transform it along with the resting station into a timepiece for tracking gameplay.

The conceptual 'Bo' digital board game allows participants to play one-on-one, but also lets a single player partake in a round against the artificial intelligence (AI) system to maximize the capabilities of the game.
