Further to this, I would say that if you want to get together in person and have a digitally mediated gaming experience, even a turn based one, there are of lot of those to be had that are much richer and more interesting in uniquely-digital ways than simply playing an on-screen version of a game that was meant to be a pack of cards— an obvious example is Civ 6: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sid-meiers-civilization-vi/id1...

For me at least, part of the delight of a truly analogue tabletop game is experiencing all the little design tricks that are used to elegantly implement complex game mechanics (scoring, hidden info, turn taking, catch-up, etc) within the constraints imposed by bits of cardboard and plastic. Once a computer is part of the equation anyway, there's no point in any of that, and you might as well just be playing a game that is native to that platform.
