>When I mentioned the assumption common in the Nineties that board games would be dead by the millennium, he raised an eyebrow. “That clearly wasn’t going to happen,” he said. “Just as if you said travelling would die out because you could see everything live on television. There are basic needs of human beings: to socialise with other people, to explore things, to be curious, to have fun. These categories will stay. It doesn’t mean that we have to have printed cardboard and figures to move around: we might lay out a screen and download the board on to the screen. The act of playing, and of what we do in the game, will stay, because it is in our nature.”

Yes board gaming hung around in the post digital world. Variety of reasons- sure socialization, also tactility, cheaper manufacturing, internet-based common interest social groups, other web applications that helped the industry (ie. bgg, kickstarter), the mainstreaming of "nerd culture" because its good for selling shit, etc.
