UX/UI
You are a board game lover
BUT
board games take you too much space to store. Most of them have a lot of physical pieces, maps, and cards to play, it is hard to keep all pieces safe. For some of the games, you are expected to use a large space to play, but you don't have.
Introducing Play Table
While traditional board games still have their place, plenty of companies are trying their hands at. Party's PlayTable takes all of that a step further by building a giant tablet to serve as the game board and letting users create their own RFID-enabled pieces that incorporate blockchain tech for a truly personalized gaming experience.
PlayTable is the ultimate device for bringing people together. The PlayTable experience is part toys, part tabletop games, and part video games. It's a whole new way to play!

The challenge for designer
The PlayTable itself is essentially a giant 24-inch full HD touchscreen running its own "PlayTable OS." It is a platform to let game creators post their games. Gamers are able to purchase and download games from it.
Product Design
PlayTable is a new type of product in the market. I need to discuss with the team and decide how it works, what it looks like, how we want the users to use it.
Interaction Design
PlayTable offers interactions among human, mobile and PlayTable. The interaction is more complex.

They need a more scaleable interface design, which also gives users a new and user-friendly experience.
