In recent years the trend to adapt video games into boardgames is just increasing.

Games like Stardew Valley, Civ, This war of mine and many more coming like Terraria or Call of Duty.

Some of these games like Civ are extremely complex games and I always wondered how well these translate into a boardgame. The production value of these games is often high, but I have my reservation that Stardew Valley the boardgame really captures the same “magic” as the video game did.

What are your thoughts on them? Any really good ones out there worthy checking out (lets exclude Dorfromantik here)?

    I think that’s plausible, but the boardgame and the video game are very different. If the video game is descended from the board game the change of medium made some big changes. The board game has a big emphasis on trading that the video game cannot reproduce. And the board game doesn’t have individual city management.
