The Tamagotchi Collections board game is a pastime created with the digital pet toys in mind to offer avid or amateur fans alike with a new way to interact with the Tamagotchi universe. The board game is for two to four players and works by having participants trying their best to earn a high score for caring for as many Tamagotchi creatures as they can. The Tamagotchi creatures are positioned as aliens that have crash landed on earth and need help being cared for, just like the original digital pets.
The Tamagotchi Collections board game was developed with KessCo and is expected to be a hit amongst fans of all ages. The board game doesn't have a release date just yet with pricing also yet to be announced.
