The Return of Boardgames

I’ve written an article on the Huffington Post about why boardgames are back:

The connectivity that digital offers us as gamers and designers means that we can reach back into a past of gaming and bring out the good ideas into the now as well as use its collective power to support the development of new forms of play. Put simply; its an exciting time to be sitting around a table rolling dice! There are three main areas of this renaissance I want to look at here.
