The Entertaible is a wooden table which comes integrated with a 30" touch sensitive display. This is probably the way that board games of the future will be played. Thanks to the entertaible cheating becomes impossible and scores can also be calculated on the fly. Philips' idea is that you load up games in the table and use a set of specialized pawns and dice to play a whole new kind of board game and videogame hybrid.

One can simply download new game board to the entertaible and thus enjoy a variety of games. The table requires no specialized setting or lighting conditions and is completely operated by touch. It can detect the positions of pieces on the glass, and dozens of objects or fingers simultaneously in contact with the table. As Gerard Hollemans of Philips Research in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, puts it, "In the longer term, Entertaible could be used to invent brand new games offering unprecedented levels of user interaction – games that would never become predictable or ever quite 'feel' the same twice, however often you played them."
