At this point, I'm going to adjust my structure for these lists. I find it very hard to compare games that I've only played physical versions of with games that I've only played digital. I discovered that digital games are a solid way for me to play games that I wouldn't otherwise be able to play, since I no longer have a board game group around. However, the physical versions will always have the appeal of not looking at a screen, actually moving pieces around a board.
