This looks awesome and I can’t imagine just how many possibilities there are if they can pull it off by integrating with other larger components and some sort of software platform running a high level language.

I’d love to build a 3d LEGO Final Fantasy Tactics style strategy “board” game where lego figurines do battle with some touch screen interfaces to play out the battles with skill points. Have GMs run large games with players each bringing their LEGO sets to create a large environment. Spawn minster figurines and all that.

One can dream but if these NFCs tiles are cheap enough, it’d be possible to cover each playable square with them and have smart figurines that can comunicate where they are.
