Video games vs board games
« on: December 09, 2013, 06:39:40 pm »
Which would you rather do?  Play a video game by yourself or a board game with a group of people?  Me I am all in favor of the board games with family and friends.

I like both fun to play board games with family and when alone play video games.

Some of my favorite childhood memories are of playing board games with my family.  I love group games but it seems like people no longer have time to get together like they used to do so years ago.  I play a computer game occasionally when by myself at home and enjoy it but there is a missing dimension of connecting with friends/family.  I have never done a group computer game online with other people but it does sound fun and could add a little of the camaraderie that is present when getting together for a board game.

I would choose board games I really enjoy games with family and friends its just a great way to spend time together can be very fun and entertaining. Yet I have had some fun using wii for example and playing sport games and competitions and such but I still prefer board games!!!

I prefer board games or playing cards than playing video games.

When I'm by myself, I like video games better, but usually when with a group of friends / family I'd rather play a board game (or rather a tabletop game, since some of the games now don't necessarily have boards). The only time I like video games with a group is if there is a way to setup a LAN (local area network) that connects our computers together, but is not on the public internet. Unfortunately most games that offer group play do so on their web-site in a MMO (massive multi-player online) fashion. And what I've found with those MMO games is that you get too many munchkins (using the old RPG jargon) that just try to better their characters at the cost of hurting others in the group (assuming a co-op type of group play).

I like video games better because my kids always lose the pieces to the board games.

It's more fun to play board games in a group, however, it's almost as fun to play a video game that you can really get into.

I prefer playing board games but unfortunately many don't get out of work until after 5 pm and weekends they are doing something else. once in a while I can get them to come over or we would go over there but many of my older friends we play games on the computer because many of them don't live close by or don't get free time until after
7 pm  but we compete like scrabble games my favorite. but when they are not on the computer I have many games that I play myself but only because there is no one to join me. I am a game person any game and I am there.
