You 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 :)
