The points about board games and the device being easily shared are nice observations.
Using the device for board games would save on storage, solve the problem of missing pieces, and save time setting up, all while maintaining the immediacy of sitting around the table with a friend or three.
Chess and Risk strike me as particularly well suited to be played on the iPad.
- smiler 17y agoYou could even have iPad / iPhone combination for where the players required to keep their 'hand' hidden from the other players. Eg a HN favourite of Settlers of Catan comes to mind - the game board on the iPad, and each player has an iPhone with their resource / victory points cards and they all interface to the iPad to play... Of course, playing an actual board game with actual cards might be more fun :)
