Hello folks! I hope that everyone has had a good week. I don\u2019t\nknow how many of our readers people who also play video games or computer games\nare. I, myself, do not play video games or computer games. Board games, for me,\nare a social event where I can interact with other players and drink a beer.\nBut not everyone feels the same way. Luckily, for these people, there are\ndigital versions of many of the games that are played at weekly board game\nnights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
I know that Number One has played Ticket to Ride and Carcassone in the digital form. Peep likes to \u201cplay\u201d these digital versions as well. He doesn\u2019t play by the rules because he doesn\u2019t quite understand them yet, but it makes him feel like he is participating in the family hobby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Digital versions of board games are nice because they can\nallow you to get familiar with the game if you haven\u2019t played before. They are\nalso great if you are having difficulty finding a group of people to play a\ngame with in person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s the appeal of digital board games for me: you don\u2019t\nhave to set up anything! I don\u2019t know about other gamers, but I have two small\nkids who want to be involved in everything. This can make setting up a game\ntricky. Peep and Stormageddon always want to play with the pieces of a game.\nBut, I can\u2019t blame them. Most people stack their meeples or resources in some\nform. They just want to do the same thing. In digital form, I don\u2019t have to\nworry about my kids playing with the pieces or knocking them off the table. Not\nto mention that you don\u2019t have to worry about finding the space to set up the\nboard game. We have a nice long table in our dining room which is perfect for\nplaying board games. However, sometimes the table has books or work papers or\nschool work on it, and I just don\u2019t have the energy to clean the stuff off the\ntable in order to play a game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another benefit of digital board games is that you don\u2019t\nhave to find storage for a big box. Storage of board games is something that we\nall deal with. If you play games in a digital format, then you don\u2019t have to\nfind a place on your shelf for yet another board game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hmmm. I may have just convinced myself to give digital\nversions a try. Are you someone who will play a digital version of a board\ngame? Or do you feel that board games should be played in person? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
