You say this like a joke, but that would bring a lot of usability and convenience improvements compared to a physical board game. Just moving stuff out of and back into the box can take a lot of work.

It's easy to overlook rules that a computerized game automatically handles for you, though. For example, I'm part of a group that plays Heat ( https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=heat ) every week. An important part of that game is moving the game-controlled cars, and since the platform handles that, only one person in the group. This is potentially quite bad for strategy, depending on the rules you don't know. Another issue that comes up in the same game is people losing track of the size of their deck. The game is very generous about the allowable timing of deck-manipulation effects, but if you're not actively paying attention you can draw through your deck and trigger a reshuffle, wiping out your discard pile, when you wanted to do something special before the reshuffle. This isn't a mistake it's possible to make while using a physical game.

a tad further: a central phone or tablet as a main board that you interact with via touch and where you can then transfer over to your handheld device over the network to manage your hand. I've not seen this yet, and it would be a pretty great experience I think. No clean up
