After years of digital dominance, gaming in 2025 has rediscovered a surprising social dimension—augmented reality board games that merge OTPKLIK physical and virtual play.
Companies like Hasbro Interactive and Niantic Labs are leading the charge with products that use AR glasses or mobile projection to blend real-world game boards with holographic visuals.
Players can see animated characters fighting across their tables, cards transforming into spells, and dice rolls affecting on-screen environments.
The breakout hit, Mythic Tactics AR, became a global phenomenon after influencers showcased families playing together in living rooms, restaurants, and even parks.
Sales of AR tabletop accessories have surged 300% year-over-year, reviving an industry that once seemed eclipsed by screens. “It’s the best of both worlds—digital magic with real human connection,” said Hasbro’s design lead, Carla Jensen.
As social isolation becomes a growing concern in modern life, AR board games are proving that technology can reconnect, not divide, the people who play.
