Honest question, do you play boardgames? I play tons of boardgames, and to me it always seems like the developers who rage on about “using apps to digitize boardgames” completely miss everything that I and my friends love about the games. I want to throw the dice myself, not press a button on my phone. When I play tricky economy games the fact that I need to do the math myself is a feature of the game not a bug. And when I play dungeons and dragons I want it to be all imagination. If I wanted to fight 3D fire breathing dragons in an immersive visual experiance I would be playing Skyrim not D&D.
