BOARD GAMES WITH ALEXA
NEXT BIG THING?
Ah, for people with no friends?
Not quite. How would Amazon’s disembodied cylindrical companion roll the dice? No, you’ll need Alexa and friends for this. Remember a 1990s board game series called Atmosfear? It came with a VHS tape featuring a ghoulish on-screen character who’d guide you through the game as you played… well, a company called Sensible Object has realised that if you swap the telly and videotape for an Amazon Echo, you get an updated, interactive version of this curiously ’90s phenomenon.
