    Back in 2010, one of the earliest games for the iPad was Scrabble. Each person needed their own iPhone to hold their tiles and they could flick them off their phone onto the board which was the iPad. It was mocked because nobody wanted to shell out $3000 for hardware to play a $25 board game.

      I can’t remember the name of it, but there was a toolkit for Objective-C back then that would let nearby devices connect to each other for doing games and stuff like this.
