Board Arcade is the only one that reuses pieces, with spaceships and robots adding physical controls to versions of classics like Snake and Asteroids.
Most of the games are marked as age 6 and up, and I’d expect young kids to love this.
We play a lot of video games and board games, but I was the only one pushing Board over the holidays.
I suspect it would go down a lot better with younger kids (6 to 10).
It has already sustained a faint scratch from a wayward cat claw, as one of my cats has the unfortunate habit of sitting on board games when we gather to play.
