I recently got back from an extended vacation to visit family, which was much needed and quite hectic at the same time. The channel had more folks out at once than normal for various reasons, but we are finally back up and running. Lots of videos recorded already and many more planned to come.
Kicking off the return of normal weekly videos is a full review for the recently released Arcade1up Infinity Game Table. This is a family room device that offers a 32" screen and ships with 36 available games at the time of this recording. BestBuy currently and costs around $1000. There is a smaller 24" model that cuts the price down to $850. Check out our unboxing and review to see if this is worth the price or not.

Thanks for watching!
I bought it for the family for Christmas. My kids are grown but I see it as a way for us to hang out. I did open it and did the downloads. I was very impressed with the game quality and build quality. I even played a game of sudoku. There was just something really nice about it even though I have sudoku on my 12.9 inch iPad Pro. In this fast paced world I see it as a chance for us to interact with each other more than say watching TV. Can’t wait for Christmas Day. Really want to play Life. Hopefully developers give this unit some love.
I think it’s a great device to bring families together. It has its own appeal to it that is different from a Playstation or Xbox.
I like your plan to have all the games ready to go on Christmas Day👍
How long does shipp8ng normally take?
It was less than a week. Bought through Best Buy. Taking it this year to my brothers house Dec 29th.
This thing needs the jackbox collection!
I know this was a while ago, but I appreciate your review. My boys are now 7 and 8, and beginning to notice that their friends at school and from hockey, all seem to have one gaming system or another, and we realize we should introduce them to technology 😬 We currently allow a bit of tv before bed, but generally, evenings when they don’t have practice or a game, we all ride bikes, swim, play basketball etc or we will spend time playing board games or reading/drawing/coloring etc. I am interested in this as a means to safely introduce them to gaming, without jumping all in and throwing them to the wolves. This seems as if we could all participate and acclimate them, before they cross over into the, “distance myself from and alienate my parents” phase ❤️
I just ran across your comment, and I definitely understand. I think this table is really interesting for families that want to play games together. It is a “walled garden” so there is little to be concerned about as a parent when it comes to the games. The cost can be a little high, but that’s usually the case with more family friendly curated content. An alternative could be the largest iPad for the family and Apple Arcade. They also curate that game offering and you can put in parental controls for anything else on the App Store, which has many of the games that the Infinity Game Table has and thousand more.
Nice coverage!!! Thanks for the mention
Thanks for checking out the video! It was fun watching you & your family check out the table from your Kickstarter order. Looking forward to your upcoming review video!
@@FactorofGames thanks! Review was posted up today. :) 😀
Awesome! Checking it out now.
This is one of those situations where you wait for it to die down and get it when it's on sale. It's still too new and the price will drop.
I just was rereading through the comments, and even a year later the table has been holding tough on the $899 - $999 price. It's a little crazy, lol
@FactorofGames guess I'm holding out for a few years 🤣🤣
It's now as low as 19.99
@theveganvan4875 where can I purchase this?
Great explaining!
Great video very well done!
Thanks PDubs! Always enjoy watching your channel and the Super Game Room Dudes. Appreciate you checking out the video 👍
Just bought mine today...Feb 5th,2023.......Awesome so far and worth it. 1000.00 CND
That’s not a bad price! Was that from a Canadian retailer?
Toys R Us
Thanks for thisreview. No matter what I still want one.
Just got one but the sound doesnt work. Ive tried everything in settings. Does anyone have a suggestiong.
If Arcade1up could add the classic “Nightmare” & “Atmosfear” vcr board games + the subsequent releases with video playing on the table. I would buy this in a 💗 heartbeat. But that would likely never happen.
Can you comment on the response/lag from the touch input? Do you feel it is responsive enough that it doesn’t distract from gameplay?
The response time and accuracy both seem to be very good. Hungry Hippos is a good example since 4 players are able to hit the screen all at once and the gameplay doesn’t suffer at all. I think it really comes down to the developer and how they build for touch only interfaces. The hardware seems to be just fine if the dev makes sure to optimize.
Would love to see more elaborate board games, like D&D style
Yeah that would be good.
Nice review Man
Thank you!
We just got this and it got everyone in on the game table. Its a lot faster than setting up your board games! No need to worry about who’s cheating lol!!!
It'd be pretty neat to have something like Table Top Simulator running on this, but there'd be the whole issue of hiding hands and whatnot that I don't know they have a solution for. They could use phones and tablets for that, I guess. That might be a pretty workable solution.
That’s a great idea! If it could be rooted and offer side-loading of apps. It would be possible to load the Steam Link APK and potentially run Table Top simulator. Then it’s just can Steam use the touch screen like it does with a phone or tablet.
if your using phones and tablets then just use them with a TV, They make having a touch screen board mute !
Reminds me of the big Nabi Tablets that came out a few years back. I purchased one for my daughter, the concept was nice, but the updates were far and few between. Hope this turns out much better.
I’ve never seen the Nabi Tablet, but years ago Samsung had a 22” counter tablet that they sold. It’s kind of similar, but they are updating the IGT regularly, in terms of their catalog and dashboard software. I believe the table is a custom version of Android OS 9, which I don’t think will receive Google Android updates at all.
Thanks for your time
Thanks for checking out the video!
It's a much better value than the cabs that they are releasing. ($699 simpsons cab and turtles in time with only 2 games on each). I think over time it will be a good investment as long as they keep adding content to it. I have a feeling there will be hacks for this table which will make it that much better.
I definitely agree Kevin. 2 games on Simpsons seems pricey vs 36 games available (most are quality) on the IGT. I’m hopeful that if they deploy some type of store front that you can purchase more games (not just download free ones) then maybe devs will consider the customization for their apps, but I’m not sure there will be enough of these in the market to be attractive. Regardless, I’m still enjoying it, so if this is all there officially is to play, I’m fine with it.
What a great review I am so glad I came across this. I only saw this table on an Advert for GAME here in the UK a couple of days ago. I was very intrigued by it but really shocked how expensive it is. I was thinking of purchasing one for Xmas for my 2 boys who are 11 and 22, but wanted to know more about it first which is when I came across your review. The first thing I thought was you could play all these games on the devices they already have, is it really worth spending that much? I do think my sons would play with it, it could be transported on holiday with us and be used there. Still undecided but the fact more games being introduced and the possibility’s of other things being added may sway me. I have subbed as I really enjoyed your review!
Thank you! It was very interesting to get the table early and see how friends and family a drawn to device. As soon as people walk in they see it and go “Is that a huge tablet?” Lol. Then they go and start playing with the games and late into the night will just sit and put together puzzles on it :) I have filmed many of the downloadable games, so please check those out and you will have an idea of what else you can buy for it. There is also a way to mod the table so you can put most any Android game on it.
@@FactorofGames hi I will go take a look, thank you, your cat is beautiful!
How do you play Scrabble on this? Wouldn't everyone be able to see everyone else's tiles?
You have little blockers that are made of plastic feet and 200 weight paper stock that you can place over your title rack. Not the greatest solution, but people have already created 3D printed blockers that look better.
Got one coming soon hopefully will have packed man and space invaders
can you use the table as just a simple monitor?>
Can you leave the game on all day or do you have to manually shut it down after playing? Does it go to sleep after inactivity?
Hey William, thanks for checking out the channel! I have left the table on all day and no issues. There is an on/off button under the edge of the table next to the volume keys. When you press it you get the option to reset the table or turn it off. If you leave it on the menu without touching it for 5 or so minutes, it will go into screensaver mode. You see various game examples and coming soon promos, which take up the entire screen.
@@FactorofGames thanks for the feedback. I just purchased one and trying to figure out if it is safe to leave it on all the time. Great channel, thanks for the videos.
@FactorofGames do you have the link for purchasing this ?
I ordered one, so my grandson would play more muti-player board games with the family… that’s my hope, and we’ll find out, around Jan 6, 2023!
Do these things have access to other Android apps, or is it just locked to 1ups store? I'd love to get it but that's a deep dip in the pocket
If i could also use any Android app I wanted, I'd be down
Hey Brayden, unfortunately there hasn’t been a root found for the device yet. The current implementation has the device locked to the 1up IGT walled garden ecosystem. They just started charging for games, so I assume they will make sure to guard their position into the foreseeable future.
Thanks for checking out the channel!
@@FactorofGames ya that all makes sense to me. I'm not against paying them for their games to support it but if it flops its a waste of money if I can do other things with it.
Hmmm…interesting. Might grab one of those iMac or iPad Pro and make a coffee table out of it.
Pretty sweet G.
Thanks man! The demographic target seems vaguely familiar 😉
Excellent video. A1up's delusional if they think they'll sell many of these at this price point. Hard to see them moving at $400, much less $850. Too bad, b/c it does look interesting, but completely beyond most consumers ability to buy. Liked/subbed!
It will be interesting to see if they add to the portfolio of hardware with a smaller tablet or something like that. I’m curious how hard it is to get games sideloaded on this from the Google Play Store.
That will be interesting....
I agree the price point will drive most people away,certainly me. A reasonable price to me would be $400, no more than that. I like it but not at that price.
@Jeff Kubes me too. On its website it's 50 off right now n its $200
Wonder what these geniuses think now that these things are so popular they can't keep them in stock. Not everyone is working for $15 an hour guys. You can't develop a product like this with a 32" screen, an OS, support, marketing, etc. and sell it for $400. Reality check, get a job with some expendable income.
is this available in UK
If they made it smaller, like the actual size of a game board, so it was more compact and affordable I would get one.
Then you should just buy the cardboard game. Kinda stupid to want this for the size of the smaller board game! I don’t get your logic!
Is there a screen protector for it?
Not to my knowledge, but as far as I know it’s an actual glass top, so it’s pretty scratch resistant and fairly tough. It would probably crack if something heavy feel on it, but in terms of spills and setting things on it, I haven’t seen any issues.
Lots of finger prints though, lol
This is a great concept that will ultimately become successful, but the big question is the concept ahead of its time? Microsoft had the same idea in 2005 with the "Microsoft Table" that never made it to production (I worked at MS at the time); a flatscreen table that could play tabletop games. Another example is Apple's failed "Newton" PDA in the early 1990s, but 15 years later Apple hit the jackpot with a similar product we know as the iPhone (PDA + cell phone).... Overall its not just about having a revolutionary concept, but have that concept coincide with the mass public's readiness for it, and at a price the public is willing to pay. Is now the moment where everything comes together, or is it a few years into the future?
Any updates? Has it gotten better???
The main appeal to me would be the ability to play with my friends online, that's really cool. But at this price point, none of my friends, or I, will bother. I'd have a hard time justifying paying $400 for this.
I know what you mean. I think it would be great to play over the internet, but no one I know has picked one up yet. Plus it makes it difficult to even send a friend request. I hope they work it out and have at least an online lobby down the road.
Yeah I would rather plug this thing and then use the battery because I wouldn’t wanna charge the battery all the time it’s a major inconvenience otherwise great review
Gotta have it for my teens
My son and his friends play it all the time, even with things like the PS5 in the same room.
@@FactorofGames is this the son you weren’t sure if he would play in the video? Just curious since I’m considering purchasing one.
Yep, he’s the only one, lol
@@FactorofGames sorry, just discovered you. Good to know! One barely teenage son here so I want to make sure he’ll like it too!
Waiting for Texas holdem like it said on the box
Can u play uno and or black ops zombies on it just curious
How to buy this
Omg 8 minutes and its finally outof the box
I know alot of people who have this, I just got one since everybody I know has one. This videos from the older crowd are soo negative
I always liked the table. Glad you’re enjoying yours.
know that I think that you have a issue with it- and know that Infinity is bit of a issue- so far looks nice-
you don't have to be old to play sudoku. I've been the best sudoku player in the west coast since I was 8
I want to buy my girls one of these with my taxes looks cool and I think I myself would like it. It's been a couple of months have they added anymore games?
Hey Chandra, They started adding games about 2 weeks ago after a months hiatus that started the week after Christmas. There has been 1 new game a week and it looks to continue at least through next week with Pixel Push Football.
For the next revision they need to lower the price and just make it a touch screen monitor.
The problem is they won’t make money without the walled garden approach. If the opened it up to side load any Android games, they would be limited to the hardware margin, which would be to small to entertain.
The infiniti table needs battle chess
It’s been a long time since I played Battle Chess. Probably since the NES. It would be interesting to to see Arcade1Up do some crossover games on the Infinity Game Table with some of their licenses like AtGames and Taito have done with their Pinball Tables. Imagine Galaga vs Galaxian Chess :)
I want a gaming carpet. 🤔
I’m now imagining an entire room for human chess!
@@FactorofGames Checkmate! 🤣
It’s a shame this could have been a nice, clean alternative to classic board games. It would be a lot easier to store this and easier to put it away when finished.
I still think it could do that, but they need to come up with a way to offset the initial cost for the majority of people interested in the table. The $999 price point is tough to swallow, but if it was $300 - 500 and you got access to 10 -15 games included and then pay $10 a month or maybe $100 a year for access to every game (I think they are closing in on a 100 or so), it might make more sense.
I really want this but so far only the 24”
Is available in Canada . I need the 32” or nothing ! lol my only concern is the touch screen sensitivity . I have seen a few visits with people picking up
Pieces a few times like in connect 4. Your thoughts ?
I haven’t had any issues with the touch that I don’t have playing on a mobile phone. It’s fairly comparable to any other tablet in terms of accuracy. I also had the same thought, it’s either 32” or nothing, lol. Thanks for checking out the channel!
This needs more screens included than just the table to support games that require secrecy. Having to turn around is kinda ghetto.
They should have made an app that you could drop and your phone and then it would become the personal screen for each player. It could even be done through a web app. I guess all those costs add up and you would need devs to support even more effort for very little upside.
I want
How much is this
I want to buy for my public library
That would be an excellent addition :) It makes sense for libraries, senior centers and even like Girls and Boys clubs.
The price will intimidate anyone and turn off. I don’t think I can get it with other game consoles and games coming out this year and the next
My first thoughts. My wife and kids love board games; I don't. But I asked my wife if she wants this, and she looked at the price and back at me like I'm crazy.
Took over 5 minutes for this guy to just open it
Too bad this costs more than a new ps5.
@Jeff Kubes what store did you buy it from?
@Jeff Kubes Im searching their website and dont see it. are you able to proved a link please to what you are seeing?
@Jeff Kubes Lol, BS.
Facebook scam had a website $39.99 lol
🤣🤣🤣
Wow. Its stupid that it makes a noise when you flip a ship. The other player will know how many are flipped by hearing it.
It is odd. Another viewer made the point that they could have integrated mobile into the multiplayer games to help alleviate the other players visual advantage. Scramble on iPhone did this kind of thing more than 10 years ago with 4 phones and an iPad as the board. It was pretty amazing at the time.
I just bought this at a 52” screen for $20 😅😅😅😅😅
If you can play online with other people on searching games if there’s a chat is there emojis lol
The online is just a really big problem for the table. There is no lobby features, chat or any matchmaking.
I’m not a board game type of person, if they made a table like this with arcade games and modern games instead I bet ppl would be more interested and will be much happier to pay $900… but for this the concept is really boring and so far I’m not impressed, all the games on here are not to everyone’s taste and certainly not my type of fun, and now you have to pay for some of the games but I guess it’s either pay for the more popular/expensive games or it’ll have to be a subscription service fee at some point, because they’ll need the money to keep it running. So for me not good enough and I wouldn’t even pay $200 for it sorry.
The worst part is of course the fact that you can’t automatically find online players unlike Apple Arcade which you can play on your big tv which in my opinion is far better and more fun 🤩
I do hope for an arcade and modern gaming table like this but with proper games instead of boring old board games. And with better connection to the internet and decent space then that would be cool 😎
I don't see this product lasting long, a handheld tablet can do the same thing at a cheaper cost and way easier to store and you can cast a tablet to your TV if you want a larger view. A couple of tablets paired together would een be a better solution than this product as you wouldnt have to turn your back to hide your hand or your ship placement in battleshi[. You could just have your side of the game board on your tablet ETC. Also at this $900 price point it should be able to run full Steam games as well as board games. $900 will buy a 32 inch TV and a low end gaming PC easily ! I This is basically a smart TV turned on its side as android TV's have plenty of power to run everythign this can run with the added little bit of cost for to convert the TV to a touch screen! So $249 for a 32 tv and add in an additional $150 for the touch screen. interface.
locking mechanism-
can give you avalon hill- or better
Good review but this game is bad for $600 maybe $100
Is everything working completely fine completely fine so you in 2022 did they fix all of the issues goodbye I know my stepdad has a touch tunes at his family Camelot bar-and-grill it's just called Camelot Technically my bar-and-grill too because I'm his Stepson But my point is this thing is only $650 when that touch tunes thing in his bar is $1300 or so give or take so you would be spending half the price Not bad if you ask me I think it's a release a new 1 in 22 with the issues that are fixed or just in general release a new 1 in 2022 I feel like 650 or even $700 It is too expensive especially if the kid is going to get it like purchase it on his own or just in general I just think $650 or $700 however Much it is going to be worth I think 100 or $200 makes a lot more sense being that it's more for kids and I prefer kids and most kids or parents aren't going to spend over 600 or $700 on this I feel like they need to release a new one for maybe an ipod touch price and put it at least a $150 or $200 I think that's way more than worth it Definitely way more worth than $700 or so But I will tell you this is an improvement over the touch tunes thing which isixteen $100 or $1400 somewhere around there respectively so I guess you could say $700 is Half of the price of the touchstone's device for gaming But still I think it should be at least anywhere between $100 $200 would make a lot more sense especially if it's for kids most kids or parents aren't gonna want to spend over to and no kid is going to spend over $700 for this thing I think it's a great price compared to the touchstone's device in terms of price and the touch is way better than the touch tunes device So $700 is still an improvement in terms of cheap I wouldn't say it's the cheapest it's cheaper it's not cheap by any means but it is cheap compared to the touch Tunes device But I just feel like Maybe it's going to be fresh listening and make it better and fix all the problems on the older model make the older model from 2021 the 1 that you're embarrassing in this video make that at least $350 if they don't want to do that they should at least release a new version with all the fixes with the games and everything and Put it at a lower price of at least $200 I think anything over that is overpriced garbage but it's definitely an improvement over the $1000 original price of older models
It’s time to find a hack and mod some ROMS!
I’m certain it’s closer than we know
Egad! At $850 this seems about $850 too much! Unless it starts getting a TON of new games, and better games than the general mass market Hasbro garbage, this will never fly! Even with Battleship they (pardon the pun) missed the boat by not allowing you to pair a phone so that you can set or see your own fleet instead of the other person having to turn their back. Blech!
The mobile integration you mentioned would have made sense for the multiplayer games for sure. I think what ultimately is tough is getting the devs to support very unique features for a small player base. If it’s a year from now and there are millions in the market (highly doubtful) then better solutions may appear on the device.
can you play 1v1v1v1 solitaire ?
No, but you can play 4/4 Solitaire.
@@FactorofGames what do you mean with 4/4 ?
IN BATTLESHIP, YOU SHOULD PUT YOUR SHIPS ALL ALONG THE EDGES, 😂😆
I think that was my Son’s plan and I didn’t catch on till he had basically destroyed my fleet 😄
$2000 In Australia... Noo thanks
Yeah, it’s a hard sell at that price.
There's no "x" in "especially."
Arcade1up products are SO overpriced. Sad, I want this one too. I don't think it's worth more than $400 though.
$850 is a tough sell, but it may get better with more content. That’s my major concern, what games are coming and how many publishers can they get to bring their games to the table.
Out of curiosity, how did you come up with a $400 price point?
@@FactorofGames I simply took 800 and divided by 2

Sorry, not for $900. (as of 2/06/2022)
Overpriced. Cool ideal but no thanks
got this for xmas, id pay 120 most, its nothing special at all.
It’s a lot of money for less games.
WHAT ABOUT GIN RUMMY?
No Gin Rummy. It seems to be getting 3 new games per week so far, so it might come down the road.
God Damn, $850 dollars for something that you can do on a $50 tablet, and the Google Play Store, all games free, and probably every game you have on there.
Seriously have you lost your mind, i was expecting full screen pinball, and 1000's of arcade games, on that beautiful screen would have made it desirable, but no as it is, complete RIPOFF 2/10.
Still pretty sane Paul. I bought it to have the family play something together, since everyone in the house is not a game enthusiast. Overall the value in terms of games has been pretty good. If I was to compare most of the hobby arcade products to the IGT, then I would probably say value is not a real decision factor with any of these products. Especially, since the majority of Arcade/Retro/Mobile Games can be pirated to the most simple Mobile/PC device on the market.
Mostly, I’m happy with the unit, and I’m willing to support Devs and Manufacturers with unique ways to engage with games. I don’t think it’s for everyone, and I’m not under the false impression that $850 is easy for everyone to come by. It’s an expensive toy for sure, but since it’s interesting to everyone that plays it, I’m happy to have it for when company comes over.
Thanks for checking out the channel!
My family is having a blast with it and it did actually bring us closer so maybe take your insults elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.
DO NOT PURCHASE ABSOLUTELY !!! IF YOU BUY NOTHING GETS YOU, THEY REPLY THAT FOR NATURAL CAUSES AT THE MOMENT THEY CANNOT SHIP
IT SHOULD HAVE SCRABBLE, I'D THINK?
Hey Michael, no need to worry. It does have Scrabble and it plus great👍 Thanks for checking out the channel!
its just a tablet
MONEY WASTER IF YOU ASK ME?
$859 the only reason I found out about this was there’s a scam on Facebook website that has the same one for Christmas sale for $39.99. Ok nvm I thought it wasn’t that much but almost a grand I’ll pass
