In this Episode of Cardboard Court, we're diving into the world of app-driven board games and discussing whether digital companions enhance the tabletop experience—or get in the way of it.

From immersive storytelling and automated game management to concerns about longevity, accessibility, and screen time at the table, we explore both the strengths and weaknesses of app-assisted gaming. We'll share our experiences with some of the hobby's most popular titles and discuss what works, what doesn't, and where we think this style of game design is headed.

Games Discussed:

🎭 Mansions of Madness: Second Edition

💍 The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth

🏛️ My Father's Work

🕵️ Chronicles of Crime

In This Episode:

📱 What makes a board game "app-driven"

Are app-driven games the future of tabletop gaming, or do they take away from what makes board games special? Join us as we make the case for both sides and share our thoughts from years of gaming experience.
