If you like to play football, you can buy an Xbox + Madden 13 and play online or you can play it for real with actual friends. I don't agree they provide the same type of enjoyment, but to each their own.
However, I admit that playing the iOS version of a game is an adequate surrogate when no one is around or willing to play the cardboard version.
We all know what you're trying to do there, but it's really not a perfect analogy. When playing Le Havre on an iPad and with cardboard at a table, in both cases your body is stationary and the movement required to play requires no more than the extension of an arm. They're really much more similar and provide a much more similar type of experience than the quite different electronic/physical football games.
