Board games are definitely more interesting now, for the most part (with some exceptions...like I do think The Witness is more interesting than just about any board game I've played or designed).

Most of the big video games now are just movies that let you walk or drive around, jump on or climb things, and shoot or swing weapons periodically. Indie games have a bit more experimentation, but most still follow this formula, but with simpler graphics.

Board games still experiment with different and interesting mechanisms, like different takes on set collection, drafting, cooperative play, engine building, worker placement, auctions, logic and deduction, etc.
