This is very neat!
I don't think traditional board games would be interested unless you got the price down very very low ($2/unit or less).
I think you could make something happen if you marketed and packaged it as a "board game console" though. Like a fixed number of cards and larger boards, plus some sort of base station or phone app that'll flash everything to the starting state of a game of your choice. Then people buy new games digitally from you, same as a modern video game console.
(I'd be interested in the game dev facing API and writing some games for such a thing, so let me know if you're pursuing it and we can swap contact info.)
That’s a great idea! Rather than selling it as a single game, sell it as a platform that people can build on top of. There’s a pile of potential in that.
