Verdict The Board console offers a genuinely fresh way to play multiplayer videogames - socially, gathered around the screen as if it was a board game. Like I said, though, this isn't a board game, it's a games console - so let's discuss those games. Those are all features of digital board games in general rather than the Board itself - perhaps digital board games on any sufficiently large tablet would feel just as good. My experiences with Omakase suggest that it - and perhaps any giant tablet - would be a genuinely great way to play board games. And I've played it with my board gaming group, who enjoy it just as well as a board game.
