Digital versions of board games - Catch All
Permalink   
 


I don't know if there is interest in discussing this, but I thought I'd create a thread for digital conversions of board games. There have been quite a few recently and I thought it would be good to have a separate thread than to clog up the board game discussions.

I currently have (and love) This War of Mine and The Dresden Files. I have the Dresden board game and the digital version is (to me) almost a perfect implementation. The only thing I haven't tried is the multiplayer. Since Dresden is a cooperative game, I haven't felt the urge to dive into that aspect yet.

I haven't played the board game version of This War of Mine, so I can't attest to how well that was translated to the screen, but I have really enjoyed the video game version.

Two games on my radar are Scythe, where I have the board game, and Command and Colors: Ancients. I haven't heard how good a port Scythe is, but I've read some distressing things regarding C&C:A. Apparently in Ancients, the animations are slow and un-skippable and crazily there is no multiplayer. Being a head-to-head board game, multiplayer would seem to be a must.

I'm a big fan of This War of Mine and The Dresden Files too. The digital version of The Dresden Files sounds intriguing, especially if it captures the essence of the board game. I totally get you about the multiplayer aspect – cooperative games are so much fun! By the way, have you heard of something like a coin flip simulator? It's a neat tool I came across recently that can add some randomness to games.
