KIDS HAVE IT so good now. Back in my day (read: the ’90s) playing with cardboard didn’t yield a lot of thrills. You could swing wrapping-paper tubes like lightsabers or push each other down the stairs in U-Haul boxes until someone went to the hospital. With Nintendo’s latest LABO Kit ($80, nintendo.com), however, kids (or children-at-heart) can fold a few cardboard cutouts into a Blaster, slide in a Switch console and its controllers and soon get busy taking down blobby monsters and steam-punk robots in a virtual world.
