The Arcade1Up Infinity Game Board (Model Number: 1210001601048) promises a digital board game experience unlike any other. With a sleek design and a library of classic and modern games, it aims to bring the fun of family game night to a modern, touchscreen interface. After spending several weeks testing it out with family and friends, here’s our comprehensive review.

The Infinity Game Board boasts a substantial library of games, including 50 pre-loaded titles featuring classics like Monopoly, Yahtzee, Trivial Pursuit, and more. The 18.5-inch HD touchscreen is responsive and clear, making gameplay enjoyable. The dynamic zoom feature (available for select games) is a welcome addition, providing a better view of the game board on the smaller screen. The haptic feedback adds a satisfying tactile element to the experience. The ability to play online (for selected games) adds another layer of engagement, allowing you to challenge friends or family remotely. The ability to save and resume games is a lifesaver for busy schedules.

Four card blockers are included, which is a practical addition to prevent accidental touches during gameplay, especially with younger players. However, the English-only menu software is a limitation for users who speak other languages.

The Infinity Game Board generally performed well. The touchscreen was highly responsive, and the games ran smoothly without any noticeable lag. The haptic feedback added a level of immersion that elevated the digital experience beyond simply tapping a screen. Online play worked well in my testing, though the selection of games supporting this feature is relatively small. While the dynamic zoom feature is a good idea, it’s only implemented in some games, which feels inconsistent.

The game selection is diverse, catering to various tastes and age groups. However, I found the in-app purchase model for additional games somewhat limiting. While the initial selection is generous, the ongoing cost of expanding the library could be a factor for some potential buyers. I encountered minor software glitches during my testing which resulted in one particular game freezing requiring restarting the unit.

Pros:

• Large game library (50+ games)
• Responsive 18.5-inch HD touchscreen
• Haptic feedback for improved gameplay
• Online play (select games)
• Save and resume game feature
• Includes card blockers

Cons:

The Arcade1Up Infinity Game Board offers a fun and engaging digital board game experience. The extensive game library, responsive touchscreen, and haptic feedback make it a compelling option for families and casual gamers. However, the limitations of online play, in-app purchases, and minor software glitches temper the overall experience somewhat. Overall, if you’re looking for a convenient and engaging way to play classic board games, the Infinity Game Board is definitely worth considering. I recommend it with a few minor caveats.
