Board games of which you prefer the digital version? (self.boardgames)

Sometimes I love to buy the mobile version of a game, because I know my group would never play it, the setup is too much or it’s kind of expensive (Root, Gaia Project, Scythe).

But sometimes I play a game online and realize, playing it competitively online would ruin the fun, because it’s so great I want to experience it with my friends or family (Res Arcana, Sushi Go, King of Tokyo).

Have you experienced something similar?

Gloomhaven by far. I just wish there was a good way to convert my physical campaign I've already been playing over into the digital version.

Came here to say the same. The rules and upkeep is so finicky in the real version, and the digital just handles it. The digital version is still kinda janky, but miles better

I don't know if this classifies as easy, but there was a mod designed with this in mind.

I had tried a similar mod like that before, but the annoying thing is that it still requires you to go through every single quest to complete them, it can't just auto-complete them for you. I wish they had had something built in like that from the get-go, though I guess they're assuming two separate audiences, either digital or tabletop and not that there would be any cross-over players (or they don't want to encourage it).
