The most popular bar game for competitive socialising is a darts game and it's modern version "interactive darts".
Typically, when a bar designs its "competitive socializing" space, it plans for a total group of 6-10 people per game lane or table. This includes the 4-6 active players and the 2-4 friends who are there for the drinks, food, and social atmosphere surrounding the game.
My electronic game is designed mainly for two players. It is difficult for bystanders to see what's going on in this game.
I have an idea to make this game more spectable.
For this purpose I am going to remove embedded displays at all and replace them with smartphones owned by players and bystanders.
I have tested this concept and it looks real!
ESP32S3 ( 4$ price) can support up to 8 WIFI connections. So up to 8 persons can play this game ( in turn) or watch it with their smartphones in browser's window .
This game occupies 1 square foot on the table and needs no space around.
Standard table in the standard bar is for 2 or 4 persons . Bigger table is for 8 persons. So such table game fits most possible cases.
General layout looks like this:
My first prototype is made from cheap plastic box.
AI rendering ( Vizcom) shows possible variant with wooden housing and spinners made from bronze.
