Edge [reports](http://www.edge-online.com/news/digital-conversions-driving-huge-boardgame-sales-increase-changing-player-behaviour/?ref=killscreen.com) that digital versions of popular board games, created to serve the booming tablet audience, have greatly boosted sales:

> While the popularity of the boardgame has never been in question, the growing number of touchscreen enabled devices – and the broad market reach of those products – has given boardgame manufacturers an ideal way to expose their games to a new audience, as well as attracting existing fans with app versions of their favourite games.

As the game industry decentralizes (and even with a console launch days away, Nintendo [announced today drastic cuts in expected revenue](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20054399?ref=killscreen.com)), perhaps the old methods of multiplayer will play a larger role.
