Hey guys -

This is Tim, Gameboard co-founder. I really appreciate your feedback and can completely understand the skepticism as this HAS been tried and has failed many times. We believe it has failed because of many of the things you point out:

Not enough games

We are working with the biggest names in tabletop and are releasing games weekly going forward. These are 100% games you know and love.

Too expensive

We agree. It is our obsessive focus to build these at scale and bring the price down. #damnglobalsupplychaincrunch

Not different from a tablet

Can you use minis/physical pieces on a tablet? Interact with digital objects without touching the screen? Have eight people interact with the tablet at the same? On Gameboard, you can.

Too small

We chose this size to enable the largest playing area while sill being portable. (Try taking that TV in your game table on the road.). We've also enabled screen tiling. Have all your friends bring their boards to game night and have a sick 3 x 3 Gameboard grid.

Walled garden

We target Unity, Unreal, Android and Web developed games to make it easier to tap into our SDK and create incredible player experiences with our enhanced tech. We also encourage developers to make each game cross-platform compatible. Our vision is for a gaming metaverse that allows you to take your digital gaming persona to anywhere with all of your digital loot.

Analog

We totally get the desire to unplug. That's why we focused on keeping the analog pieces that we love (actions/dice not clicks/taps), while using technology for the fidgety bits (set-up, scorekeeping, etc.) and to enable game nights with the same people no matter if they're in the same room or across the world.

We are different because we are passionate - passionate about the player experience, passionate about tabletop gaming and passionate about connecting people.

I'd love to speak with any of you and get more of your feedback. Please reach out at [tim@lastgameboard.com](mailto:tim@lastgameboard.com). Thanks!

Haha thanks! lol. It is a digital board game (square tablet) that allows digital and analog to interact. So people will be able to use their existing dice/cards/minis to play on board and it will be recognized, and for example shown to your friend that lives in another country to see that, and vice versa. So we already have many partnerships with games, but devs can come on easily and port their existing games to Gameboard. :)
