Board Game or No Board Game

Developing is not all that I 've done. I also did research on how to translate the board game 'Settlers of Catan' to a multitouch device. Also talked to people about where the line for them is between something being called a board game and when it becomes a video game. I need to do more research on the matter. Interestingly enough it seems that we actually want to see a board to make it feel like a board game. So for example the videogame 'Warcraft 3' on a touch screen would still be called and feel like a videogame, allthough put the Nintendo video game 'Mario Party' on a touch screen and people call it a board game. So are the die and the old board really needed?
