Now with the internet, literally every board game is available online. But how many of you still prefer the hands on approach?Like in the chinese game of mahjong, the chance to actually shuffle the 'cards', or the interaction we have while playing makes the game special in it's own way. Or like the board game Catan(which I so love!), playing online is nice, but I still miss the fun of actually trading verbally, instead of watching the screen for trades. Sometimes I do wonder in the future if the younger generation will ever know that the games they play online like solitaire, chess, checkers, monopoly.. Was once done the 'old way'...

hi alex! well i like playing board games but nobody that i know would want to play with me. i like scrabble and boggle and no one wants to go against me. i dunno why. anyway, i also like online games. but well, that is good if i were alone. but if you have friends, i think the physical board games are more of the option. i also like listening to sounds of juggling scrabble pieces and of the boggle dice. hehe take care and God bless you! :-) merry christmas!
