EverPlay Studios has announced a new digital gameboard that uses a monitor-size touchscreen to play digital board games together. It’s called EverBoard, and it’s launching this holiday season, exclusively through Best Buy.
EverBoard is designed to sit comfortably on a flat surface, while projecting from its 21.5-inch display. Thanks to intuitive touchscreen controls, up to six players can gather and play together without the need for additional pieces, controllers, phones, or setup.
EverBoard is designed to work with EverPass, a monthly subscription service that unlocks the full library of digital games. At launch, EverPass will feature over 50 games, including officially licensed games from Hasbro, such as Monopoly, Connect 4, Scrabble, and more. Players can also play puzzles, drawing, and arcade-style games. New games will be added to EverPass each month.
Players can also use the EverVibe Game Creator, transforming their ideas through voice into a playable game.
“We wanted to create something that brings people back to the same table while giving them a completely new way to play,” said Davin Sufer, Founder and CEO of EverBoard Inc. “EverBoard combines the games families already love with new ways to create, play, and discover something different every time you gather around the table.”
Hasbro is the largest producer of board games in the world, including many well-known family favorites, from Battleship and Hungry Hungry Hippos to collectible card game Magic: The Gathering, and tabletop RPG, Dungeons & Dragons.
Securing the Hasbro license is a huge draw for recognizable games. Though it remains to be seen if consumers want to add yet another subscription to their monthly budget just for family game nights.
EverBoard will launch this holiday season at Best Buy, in stores and online. Sign up for updates and release notification at the main website.
