I have to say that for me, the transition of traditional board games into the digital age is both a blessing and perhaps a loss. The thing is, as stated in https://captionspoint.com/traditional-board-games-in-the-digital-age-cultural-relevance/, board games have always been about more than just entertainment. Especially for families or groups of friends, when games became a reason to communicate, laugh, sometimes even disagree, but in any case - to strengthen the bonds between people. With the development of technology, both mobile games and digital versions of board games have really made them accessible to a wider range of people. If you live in a big city, for example, and you can’t always find people to play the same Monopoly or Carram with, digital versions provide a great opportunity to play. I myself take advantage of this - I can safely play with friends all over the world. However, it is worth recognizing that this misses out on that unique moment when you sit at the table, lay out the chips, interact with your opponent, discuss strategies, and, most importantly, create an atmosphere of spending time together. All this is significantly weakened in a digital format. In mobile and computer games, many things are simplified: there is no smell of paper, you do not hear the sound of Ludo balls or the screams of friends when someone unexpectedly knocks out your chip. Many things are simplified, and the feeling that you are not just playing, but creating a shared memory, disappears.
