Amazon just announced new game accessories for the Echo called Buttons
Amazon unveiled new gadget and game-friendly devices called Echo Buttons today at a special media event. Together with a new Alexa Gadget API, they turn your Echo into a gaming hub.
Each button is roughly the size of an Amazon Echo Dot and have built in lights that can change colors. The devices themselves are actually giant buttons -- yes like the Staples button -- that you connect to your Echo and third-party companies can tap into via the API to create games.

Hasbro, for example, is working on a version of Trivial Pursuit. The buttons will be cheap enough and easy enough to use that people will surely buy multiples.
Amazon hopes it helps bring back the family gaming night thing. The company plans to launch a number of Button-compatible skills this holiday season including games like Buzzer Beater Basketball Trivia with Karl-Anthony Towns, Fourth Down Football Trviai with Philip Rivers, and Beat the Intro from Musicplode.
Echo Buttons will be sold in packs of two for $19.99 and are set to arrive before the holiday season in the US, UK, and Germany. To learn more about when Echo Buttons are available visit amazon.com/alexagadgets.
