Hasbro has begun accepting orders for its quarterly board game subscription service. For $50 + shipping, Hasbro Gaming Crate comes in two varieties, each with three games.
The first Family Crate will feature Mask of the Pharaoh, which the company describes as a “cooperative virtual-reality board game.” One player describes what they see in a VR mask (mobile device and app required), while the other players, following that description, assemble game tiles in a path to the hidden treasure.
The first Party Crate will feature Joe Santagato Speak Out, an adults-only version of Hasbro’s mouthpiece game. Internet comedian Joe Santagato worked with Hasbro to develop their first Speak Out game but this one is described as “edgy” and “NSFW”.
Both crates are expected to deliver in August. Use promo code “HGCFREESHIP” for free shipping.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
“Is described as edgy” is a new way of saying “the whole concept is dead on arrival”.
At least the family game sounds fun =)
Honestly it’s a pretty good idea. We’ve seen subscription boxes already hit their peak, but there’s a strong following that swears by them. Wouldn’t be surprised if we see Zman or another large gaming company do something similar.
