Do you prefer board games or video games, and why?

B Natural answer

I think I prefer video games, mainly because they give me more variety. One day I can play a sports game, and the next day I can try a story game or something competitive. I also like that I can play with friends online even when we are not in the same place. That makes it easy to stay connected. Still, I enjoy board games too, especially when I want clear rules and a slower pace with family. For me, video games are better for regular use, but board games are better for special evenings.
