    I love board games, and own a game shop. Many companies are creating board games (and other types of games) that require their app, then after a few years they abandon the app making the game useless and unplayable.

      I remember having an old boardgame with a VHS. It has a countdown and would interrupt you every so often with events or punishments.

      It was fun, but after the first time you play it you’d know every “surprise” coming on the tape.

      Similar situation - those board games are honestly pretty rare and almost universally shit, app or no. Plus, they’ve been trying to do that for years. I had a clue board game that would text you clues throughout the game. I played that on my first flip phone. It was absolutely horrendous
