Sifteo Cubes
GregH originally called my attention to this and it looked like something worth sharing. It combines computer games with physical gameplay. The game consists of a set of three cubes (you can add more) that know when they are placed next to each other. There is a screen on each cube and they are wireless connected to a computer which is telling the cubes what to display. It’s a simple, but novel, idea that looks to generate some very intriguing gameplay.
The early access program is sold out, but this is going on my gift list. At $149 for 3 cubes I don’t know that it’s a very reasonable use of money, but it sure is a great idea!
