With its 6 controllers, 8Bit Box lets you invite up to 6 players for frenetic games. It contains all the basic equipment you’ll need for your games (counters, dice, tokens, etc.). The 3 games included are presented individually, in the manner of old-fashioned game cartridges. Each contains the specific equipment needed to play it, which complements that of 8Bit Box.
As for the joysticks, they enable each player to plan and carry out his or her game actions, such as moving characters or vehicles. All together, you can play board games on a table, based on the major themes of video games.
