Jumbo iPieces bring you a new generation of board games whereby you play with real figures or pawns on the iPad. This involves the iPad used as the familiar playing board, with the figures activating special effects on the board. In this way, traditional games such as “Game of the Goose” come to life right before your eyes.
In the games pack you will find the interactive pawns and games accessories, and there is a link to the free app in the Appstore in the instructions. What’s more, all you need is an iPad and a few fellow players. And then let the games commence!
Extra dimension to gaming pleasure
Jumbo iPieces provide an extra dimension to traditional group games. The figures activate astonishing animations and special effects on the iPad, which literally near enough bring the game to life. For example, in the traditional “Game of the Goose”, the geese almost fly out of the game; in the “Fish Game” you can hear the water splashing over the iPad; and the snakes slither over the board when playing “Snakes & Ladders”.
Jumbo iPieces combine the best of two worlds: the charm of playing a game together and the interactive world of the iPad. The games are suitable for all the family, from young to old.
Very first iPad games
On 15 November 2011 Jumbo launched its first four iPad games: Game of the Goose, Snakes & Ladders, Air Hockey and Magnetic Fish Game.
The playing pieces inside the packs are suitable for both the iPad 1 and iPad 2, and can be used in combination with the free corresponding apps in the Appstore. The games will also be available for a number of tablets with Android Software in early 2012.
The games will be sold in both toy shops and through web and multimedia stores. Consumers can purchase the games, consisting of playing pieces in combination with a free app.
