I think the IP future is more computer based these days. Logistics favours computer games unless you enjoy the specific activities involved like painting, terrain modelling etc. I agree that the "nation per house" theme has dated poorly but you may note I was talking more about the characters and stories. Most of which are not house royalty. The story telling potential is there and could allow for such a variety of gameplay experiences the sky is the limit. I have hopes that HBS peoples will gain control of the IP and leave the original owners to do "Stan Lee"-like cameos...
