Board games are the LAN party now, at least for my social circle. I still meetup with the now 15 years older LAN gaming crowd. And I understand board games have been around forever but now we live on screens I think they have a more special place than 15+ years back. Plus the mechanics/quality of games coming out these days is at another level. If you think of board games as Monopoly/Risk, I would strongly suggest checking out what is available these days.

I still miss LAN parties though...

With most of the eurogames, I wonder why a computer isn't doing all the busy work they seem to require.

Check out games like the tabletop version of X-Com. They've integrated a smartphone app into the gameplay extremely well.
