Beasts of Balance is a new breed half digital, half traditional board game
Players take turns to place the animals on top of each other. Each figure has an NFC chip inside it that allows the building platform to recognize what it is, what other animals it is touching against, and send the information to the game. If the tower topples, and it will at some point, the group gets the chance to rebuild it within a certain time limit. If the task is completed quick enough, the game continues, if not – it's game over.
Beasts of Balance can be pre-ordered right now for $99, which will net you the basic set, containing the game board and pieces (a plinth, 18 artefacts, and 6 beasts). The game will be ready to ship “sometime soon” alongside a companion app for iOS and Android.
