This revolutionary chess game is a big hit on Kickstarter
Board games have been gaining popularity for years. Especially this year, since the outbreak of the corona crisis, we play more games than ever. And more and more often, these are innovative new games that have been brought to the market thanks to platforms such as Kickstarter . Think for example of Exploding Kittens, worldwide a huge success and a very nice game. But you always need someone to play it with. There are of course plenty of games that you can play alone or remotely, but with board games that was even more difficult. There is now a solution for this.
Automated chessboard
Now the Indian startup ‘Square Off’ scores with 2 revolutionary board games. On crowdfunding platforms Indiegogo and Kickstarter, they have already raised more than $ 1 million for their latest games: Neo and Swap. The Neo is an affordable automated chessboard and with Swap you can play multiple board games automatically. Remarkable: they achieved their crowdfunding goal during the corona crisis. Apparently we play more games, especially now that we are home more often.
Square Off’s automated chessboard
That’s how you learn chess
The Neo chessboard is ideal for people who have not yet mastered chess . This chess game includes personalized and adaptive AI chess coaching. And the great thing about it: you play it with whoever you want! That person does not have to be physically in the same room as you. Ideal in these times of social distancing. Even if your friends or family are on the other side of the world, you can play a game together. You control the chessboard via your smartphone, which also coaches you while you think about the next move. If you don’t know anyone who wants to play chess with you, just look for a random player somewhere in the world.
The other game, Swap, offers the same technology for no less than 4 games. With this you can play chess, checkers, halma and Connect 4.
The lockdowns have motivated people to rediscover their passions for games and we are seeing tremendous growth in conneted gaming. Our vision is to let people play automated games and connect them via one platform. With Neo and Swap we have tried to revolutionize board games and with it the experience of them.
