Logo for Baseball Shuffle barroom game. A combination of baseball meets shuffleboard, with a bit of randomness of dice rolls.

Step up to the plate in a fast, all-ages, dice-flicking mashup of baseball and shuffleboard on a handcrafted cocktail table. The best moments of baseball are packed into a 20 minute party game for 2-16 players, and you can even strategically use your drinks as bumpers.

Hi, I’m Dan!

After two decades designing the future of play, I’m now reimagining its past.

On the LEGO innovation team, as the only LEGO Master Designer in the US, I explored cutting edge-tech to create never-seen-before experiences at the intersection of physical and digital play.

While that was exciting, nothing compares to playing around a table with the folks we cherish. My fondest memories are game nights where laughter and friendly rivalries bridged generations and brought us closer. We need these moments of togetherness and shared joy now more than ever.

That’s why I’m building Unplugged Arcade, a collection of handcrafted games that should have existed a hundred years ago. Built for bars, social venues, and living rooms, these games transform any space into timeless arenas of laughter, camaraderie, and spirited competition.

Each game is crafted to last like the amusements of yesteryear, designed to spark friendships, community, and memories you’ll treasure for years to come.

Like a pastime from a past time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Unplugged Arcade?

Unplugged Arcade is building a new category of modern barroom games designed to bring people together and spark friendships the old-fashioned way. Built with modern game design and old-world craftsmanship, each game lives in a compact cocktail-table made for today’s social spaces. Handcrafted to feel timeless, they play like a pastime from a past time.

What do you mean by “modern barroom games”?

Board games and video games have rapidly evolved with several thousands of new games released every year, but barroom games have remained virtually stagnant. Pool, darts, and shuffleboard are classics, but the hospitality space deserve new screen-free experiences too. Unplugged Arcade brings modern game design and product innovation catered to address the needs of today’s social venues and audiences.

How big is it and how hard is it to install?

In a compact 33” x 33” cocktail-table format, Baseball Shuffle installs in minutes and slots into nearly any layout. With a drink rail integrated into the table, and gameplay, it makes every inch of its footprint count.

Will guests actually play it?

Yes, 96% of 50+ survey respondents “Strongly Agree” they would play Baseball Shuffle again! The game is simple to learn yet addictively challenging, and randomness keeps all skill levels engaged. With 2–16 players supported, it drives social interaction for all sizes of groups, and the dramatic twists make it as fun to watch as it is to play. The sports theme creates an instant hook and ties into game-day marketing. Check out the player survey feedback.

Is customization available?

Reach out and we’ll discuss. Custom orders will be made to order so it will take longer.

What’s the upkeep like?

Minimal. Built from solid wood, Baseball Shuffle is designed to last through years of heavy play. Other than wiping it down and a quick waxing, it’s nearly maintenance-free.
