BY AMANDA MCCOY

RALPH LAUREN BOND GAME SET
This isn’t some kitschy, Bond themed set with plastic figurines. In fact, the only connection to the British superspy is the polished, high end level of craftsmanship that one would expect to find in Bond’s collection. Crafted of walnut and carbon fiber leather with polished and black powder coated nickel game pieces, this fancy, four in one set includes chess, checkers, backgammon, and tic tac toe. Challenge your foes over a martini to really set the mood. $4,995

GOLDEN TEE HOME EDITION
Once winter arrives, avid golfers are typically forced to wait until spring to get back on the green, but this at home edition from Golden Tee is like a trip to Florida, where the grass is verdant and the courses are open year round. The cabinet attaches to any flat screen TV and comes equipped with more than 80 courses from around the world. Compete in global contests or even challenge PGA Tour magnate John Daly. $3,895

MORPHOX MODULAR GAMING CONTROLLER
Designer Chinmay Gohil set out to create the future of controllers with the Morphox, a modular handheld accessory with the ability to adapt based on the type of game you’re playing. Need a driving wheel or more immersive module for flying? Boom the controller transforms in mere seconds. It can even split into a pair of FPS focused weapons. Price TBA

OCULUS QUEST 2 VR HEADSET
When the first Oculus Quest arrived on the scene in May 2019, it was applauded for its standalone form (unlike other VR technologies, users didn’t need to attach the unit to a PC or smartphone) and low price point, but it caught a fair bit of flak for its cumbersome build and cloudy graphics. Enter its successor: a lighter and more nimble all in one form that offers higher AI capability, 6GB of RAM (up from 4GB), and 50% more pixels for sharper, more realistic visuals. The touch controllers have been upgraded as well with built in hand tracking and an IPD adjustment mechanism. $299

ALIENWARE 55 INCH OLED GAMING MONITOR
Touted as the world’s first 55 inch OLED gaming monitor, this hyper clear display from Alien ware brings gameplay to life with superior color reproduction. The OLED screen achieves “true black” for higher hue contrast, and the cinematic quality, wide color gamut ensures colors appear exactly how they were meant to be seen. And for exhilarating clarity, that’s where the 4K resolution comes in, delivering a heightened level of detail not often found in gaming monitors. $4,000

LOUIS VUITTON POKER CASE
This ultra-deluxe, cowhide leather special edition poker set, designed by the apogee of luxury labels, takes the expression “go big or go home” to any entirely new level of opulence. It won’t guarantee a royal flush, but its owner will undoubtedly feel like royalty. $24,000
