Neo and Swap are two path-breaking board games with some brilliant tech and intelligent engineering but they’re also great to look at! With a lightweight body and a minimalist style, Neo has a distinctly modern look. And with a brushed metal finish and dark tones, Swap looks like the cool, futuristic gadget that it is. We’ve taken care to create a user experience that appeals to everyone, young or old. Though it packs some serious tech, the actual functionalities are extremely user-friendly. Add to this their smooth movements and a silent mechanism, and you get the best board gaming experience money can buy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Square Off Neo and Swap are completely compatible with all other Square Off boards.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This time around, we don’t just have a great idea. Along with the concept, we also have our manufacturing and shipping partners in place. Which means final delivery will be streamlined. All we need are resources and your support to bring this concept to fruition.

 

 

 

 

With Neo and Swap, we are one step closer to our vision of creating an automated and globally connected board game that facilitates a whole lot of different games by simply upgrading the Square Off App and replacing the top surface with another board game panel.
