Well, they do actually show playing pieces that can interact with the screen. The screen is also touch sensitive, so you could probably replicate a dice throwing motion. In fact, I bet anything short of dice or paper money, meaning playing pieces and maybe even physical building blocks (plastic building for instance that you can stack), could probably be incorporated into the play. With a rich enough screen, any visually interesting board can be displayed, though it's absolutely tru e that it's limited to the rectangular screen (though I'm sure you could do other shapes just using less of the screen). Maybe in 10 years this will be affordable and practical for the home?
Perhaps instead of replicating something like "Monopoly", this can generate ideas for a whole new breed of "board" games that truly optimize the use of that platform.
