What are your thoughts about Video Game to Boardgame adaptations? - eviltoast

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)?

    hmmm… Munchkin, at least in my personal opinion, is never a good argument, I find the game terrible.

    Maybe I have to give This war of mine a shot at some point, I did enjoy the video game. How well does it play coop?

      Yeaht that’s alright, i was mostly using it to compare the mechanics of monsters, events etc coming from shared decks.

      TWOM i played solo only, but i dont think it changes much for coop
