The only way to truly implement something like this would be with a digital board game framework similar to the Teburu system, which is an overpriced and uninspired bloated piece of junk. I have played around with my friend's version as he was trying to sell it to me, it only has a few games for it and they are hundreds of dollars each. Each game has loads of bugs and every time he gets it out it needs to be charged, receives multiple updates, has tons of hoops to jump through just to play. When we finally set it up, he realized his dice wasn't charged. This type of thing is exactly the opposite of classic board games that are just analogue pieces you can set up and play any time, even by candlelight. I don't see AI driven board games gaining any traction, especially since the frameworks needed to house them aren't really well done either. And honestly, we don't need it. Games are well designed enough to provide lots of branching options and paths to victory. AI is just a buzzword people are trying to shove into everything.
