The iPad is pretty perfect for board games; it lets you play tons of classic games without having to set up or put away stacks of cards or piles of pieces. But you do lost a little big having it only be on a touchscreen. But iPawn Games strikes a balance between classic board games and the touchscreen versions with pieces that work on an iPad.
The iPawn pieces transmit tiny electrical charges when they're placed on a touchscreen, meaning that they are read as fingers by the iPad's touch screen. The pieces come with an app that feature Snakes and Ladders, Fishing, Game of Goose and Air Hockey. Which is a good start, but I'd love to see many more games that could be played with these things. We'll see, I suppose.
