What happens when I get invited to get an advance sneak peek at the newest thing that is going to be on everyone’s wish list but I’ll be out of town? Do I say no and make you and me miss out on the inside scoop? No way! I enlist my village. While JustaBXgirl and I were visiting family in North Carolina JustaBXgrandpa and one of my nephews were working hard testing out the new Beyond Tablet.
I didn’t know much about what they were walking into other than that they had the chance to hang out having lunch along side some of my favorite blogging buddies at The Children’s Museum Of Manhattan (which we love and have a membership to) and that they would get to play with the yet to be released Beyond Tablet.
What is the Beyond Tablet? It is a screen-less tablet that simply put brings board games to life. You place one of the Beyond games on top of the tablet and it comes alive. The tablet gives instructions and can even offer feedback. There’s no opportunity to get bored as you can interchange the game pieces making it feel like a brand new game every time. It allows up to four players to get in on the fun. And you will have fun.
The Beyond Tablet comes with five games and is available on Amazon. The games that it comes with are both educational and enjoyable. Yes or No would be a favorite in my home. It’s a trivia game that can be played from age 4 to adult with a varying difficulty that can lead to adults learning too! Happy Tunes is reminiscent of Simon and requires the players to pay attention and repeat the patterns. This would be frustrating for JustaBXgirl and me. We always mess up on the Shopkins version of this on my phone. All of the games that come with the system have an underlying educational appeal. That makes me happy. It is a little expensive at $199.00 so this would be a big ticket item but would also be a fun family gift where you know it would be used.
And of course there are additional game pieces that you can purchase to use with the Beyond Tablet. My nephew and JustaBXgrandpa really enjoyed The Battle Of The Submarines. The Battle Of The Submarines has the same premise as Battleship. And who doesn’t love sinking someone’s battleship? I’m really considering adding this as the group gift for JustaBXgirl and her cousins for Christmas. As you know we all love board games and this seems like a good way to up the ante on family game night. We will see. Do you think your children would like it? What would be their favorite game?
We always do family game night and this looks like fun! Definitely in the Christmas list due to the price point.
We recently started doing family game night. Our first game was Sorry, but now that we have this, mini can’t stop playing. She was so excited to play with us.
You have one? What’s her favorite game so far?
I love the idea of this and I especially like that they are like the board games that we are used to playing. Sounds like something really fun to add to family game night.
Wow this is nice. I love board games but no one else in my family does. This would be a nice way to get the younger kids interested in table top games.
Yes, definitely a way to bridge the old school with the new school!
Great idea very innovative. This reminds of when I was a kid and we used to play checkers and all of sort of board games.
I am sure my grandsons would love this.
I love that it’s a fun way to introduce trivia games to young kids. I would love to have this for my family!
The Beyond Tablet sounds really cool. I will have to look into getting one for the family for Christmas. We love playing games together.
This looks really neat. Something the whole family could enjoy. Thanks for the review
How cool is this? Definitely an upgrade from the board games I used to play as a kid. Looks like a lot of fun.
Looks like a great event. And what a cool concept for a game!
Cool! There’s something about a good old fashion game that’s so much fun. I could play one four hours.
I am adding this to my Amazon Wishlist right now. I love this. I am working on screen time for all of us.
I love game nights!! It’s one of my favorite events to attend.
All my kids would love it.
The Battle Of The Submarines.
This is too cool! This is a great way to reinforce social skills and the games look fun!
I loved playing Monopoly with my family when I was a kid. I love continuing this game night idea
This looks like so much fun and not as much clean up as the old school games used to be. I will have to look into this for our game nights
Wow that’s a pretty cool looking game. Might be a board game I’d actually like to try.
This looks like a really fun game for when my son gets older. My husband and I play games but my son is just a bit too young yet.
What a great idea. It’s nice to find something that doesn’t involve screen time that will appeal to kids.
What a great alternative to staring at a computer screen all day/night. My four grandchildren would gain great knowledge from this educational toy.
my two boys 3, and 5 would love this!! we try to play some type of board game once a week
This looks like it would be a lot of fun! I’ll have to check it out.
The Beyond Tablet is a great idea. I think our family may need this.

I can see kids (and adults) having a lot of fun with this enhanced board game experience.
This is so cool! We have a weekly family game night!
The Beyond Tablet sounds really cool and would be an awesome addition to game night. We love playing board games and family game night is right up there with movie night. We’ll have to check into this although it might not be in our budget right now. Thanks for sharing!
