The world of digital games continues to evolve, becoming more complex and exciting every year, but it is precisely this digitalization that leads many to a “reverse evolution”, when people begin to look for something simpler and more human in games. It is kind of the opposite of what we see in the tech world: the desire to escape all this digital noise and return to something more “real”, physical. According to https://www.eastmojo.com/em-buzz/2025/02/18/reverse-gaming-evolution-when-digital-natives-rediscover-physical-board-games/ - it is a reboot and an overflow from technology. We have all essentially become “digital natives” - every moment is connected to some kind of screen, be it a smartphone, tablet, computer or TV. We have become so absorbed in virtual worlds that the process of “switching off” and returning to reality has begun. When we talk about board games, these are not just games, but an entire culture. Board games are like the antipode of digital entertainment. They feature social interaction, but without the mediation of a screen. All participants sit at the same table, see each other, talk, laugh, argue. This creates not only an atmosphere of fun, but also a sense of live presence that cannot be replaced by any video game, no matter how complex and exciting its virtual world is.

Yes, I also think that board games have become popular again because they provide a unique social experience. I also noticed that after a long time of playing digital games, when my friends and I had a board game night, it was really nice and somehow “real”. I always liked the idea that the game does not end with just pressing a button or getting points on the screen. With board games, you somehow feel more like your move matters and there is a sense of a living process.
