I had a group of friends in Arizona who regularly came over and played
Tenpin Alley. They also got a kick out of the fact that there was no way to
cheat. The computer monitor was turned off, even though they could not use
it when playing the game. Everything was done using their ears.

Hi tom.
while I agree that card and board games do have value as games to play
with others, at the same time computer games can have a similar feeling
provided you have a group of like minded individuals together and provided
the game is one that several people can have fun with rather than say a
flight sim or complex stratogy game that requires massive attention.
I remember the occasion when i still lived in colidge where a couple of
friends of mine visited me, but managed to turn up an hour early so I was
in the shower. In defference of what to do, I literally yelled
instructions through the bathroom door (I was living in one room in
colidge with a single attached bathroom), for them to start up Jim
Kitchin's game of life, and we played that while I finished my shower.
that was hilarious and good fun as well.
As well as playing Talisman and King of Tokio, my brother also regularly
plays the marrio party games with his friends as well, which are intended
as exactly what they say, ie party games, like computerised board games on
the Wii. He also has recently bought the new Pokemon game and a 3ds, and
when not playing a ccg with his friends they also challenge each other to
Pokemon battles. Of course, since my brother is a major CCG player, he
knows plenty of people who do that sort of thing, and indeed if the games
(of either computerised or not), were accessible odds are I'd do the same
more often with my rp friends.
It all seems to depend upon the games involved and the group of people and
what they choose to do, though I will say where as computer games, even
casual ones like marrio party or Jim Kitchin's are something of their own
interest, anyone can pick up a good amount of board games and play them
out of the box, making them a far more universal thing.
That is another reason I'd love to see more accessible interesting games.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
