The Grasshopper Round Table

Hey look, it’s a big round digital touch-enabled game table!

Come have a sneak peak at the Round Table, the custom designed-and-built touch-enabled game table that will be one of the core experiences at Grasshopper NYC team, the grownup games lounge that we’re working on.

A number of games by us and our indie game friends will be available to play at Come Out & Play After Dark:

Don’t F**k Up. A deceptively simple bouncing ball game by Shuichi Aizawa, Mark Anderson, Chris Hernandez, Hari Mohanraj, Joshua Raab, Ben Serviss, Neil Sveri, and Chris Zito.

Clockwork. A cooperative puzzle game by Michael Ren, Stephanie (Sebastian) Teesdale, Mark Monaco, Kirsten Sugar, Jammy Su, Yulian Odvey, and Anthony Barranco.

Don Hippo. A fast-paced hidden-traitor game by Anthony Albino, Randall Li, Ricardo Delgado, and Chris Motola.

Whiskers. A playful one-button game of bumper cats and moustaches designed by Jon Stokes and implemented on the Round Table by the Grasshopper team.

Well. A cooperative fishing game by the Grasshopper team.

Anagrams. The traditional letter tile game with a digital twist by the Grasshopper team.

Crokinole. A digital version of the classic disc-flicking board game by the Grasshopper team.
