Technologies for executing electronic board games include a user compute device having a display screen that is orientable upwardly to support hardware game pieces associated with a particular electronic board game. Each hardware game piece may have a different or unique footprint, which may be detectable by the user compute device. The electronic board game is executed by the user compute device. For example, an electronic version of a board surface of the electronic board game may be displayed on the display screen. Additionally, virtual game pieces may be associated with a player of the electronic board game.
