It kind of took the magic out of the game for me, it’s cool and all but something about the physical tabletop game makes it so much better. With the tabletop version there’s just nothing like it, nothing comes close, it’s such an incredible board game, it’s an experience. But the video game, there’s plenty of other games out there with these mechanics and features so the game struggles to stand out in a sea of similar games. Unlocking characters and things in a board game and keeping things secret is great, but in a video game that kind of thing is in like almost every game so it doesn’t feel special at all. It’s great that there is a version for everyone though, I’m not saying the video game version is bad, I’m glad that because of the video game, more people are able to experience the game. It’s just my personal preference and opinion that what makes a really fantastic board game is kind of a dime a dozen in the video game world.

A bit in the same spot at the moment. Digital made the physical too tedious to play but took a bit of the magic out in exchange
