"- Accelerate game play by automating score keeping and timekeeping"

Yes indeed, this is huge. I'm thinking of you, Through the Ages, with your incredibly fiddly and easy to make mistakes in upkeep rules. Our first few run throughs were pretty much ruined because someone made an early mistake in their favor that snowballed over time. Imagine if everyone had an iPad in place of their game board that would largely eliminate mistakes.

Similarly, back when Dominion came out, there were some online servers where you could play (I believe they were mostly shut down), and it was such a nicer experience because you didn't have to spend all of your time reshuffling your deck.
