Funny you should ask about blockchain games.

Don't get me wrong, you can absolutely have "multiple tables" on a blockchain. A blockchain is just a strategy for achieving consensus about order of operations within a variable group of untrusted parties. So it's not a replacement for tables, but for journals. It's pointless when "private", because you have no variable group of untrusted parties. It's pointless for smart contracts because you have no trusted parties to observe the world.
