Learn Italian: Quale tabellone usiamo per la partita? - Which game board are we using for the match?

Quale is the singular form of "which". We use it here because it modifies a singular noun, tabellone (game board). If we were asking about multiple boards, we would use the plural form: Quali tabelloni usiamo?

Is tabellone masculine or feminine?

It is masculine (il tabellone). While nouns ending in -e can be either masculine or feminine, nouns ending in the suffix -one are almost always masculine. This suffix often indicates a "large" version of something.

The English translation says "are we using". Why is the Italian verb just usiamo (we use)?

In Italian, the simple present tense (usiamo) easily translates to both "we use" and "we are using". While Italian does have a present continuous tense (stiamo usando), the simple present is extremely common for immediate actions or near-future plans, like setting up a board game.

Why use partita for "match" instead of gioco?

Il gioco refers to a "game" in a broad sense, like the rules, the toy itself, or a children's game (e.g., "Chess is a difficult game"). La partita refers to a specific match, session, or round that is actually being played right now. Since you are asking about the specific match you are about to play, partita is the correct word.
