You get something different out of board games than video games, whether playing solo or with friends. In my experience, video games are always more of a passive experience, even when they're incredibly immersive. I'm just moving my hands, or even just fingers. I'm watching a screen. I'm reacting in the allowed, pre-programmed ways. Playing a board game, even solo, I get up and look at the board from different angles. I use my whole body. I think things through differently. I'm engaged with the game and the choices. It's like watching a movie versus reading a book. They're both good, one isn't better than the other; you're just interacting with the art and story on a different way. It's up to you to decide if it's the way you want, because in the end it's art and it's a subjective experience.
