Logo for Baseball Shuffle barroom game. A combination of baseball meets shuffleboard, with a bit of randomness of dice rolls.
A baseball-themed tabletop arcade game set up on an outdoor court, with dice and game pieces on the table, a beer can, and a background of a baseball field with players, a net, and city buildings.

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.
