The transformation of traditional board games into digital versions is not just a technical process, but a real cultural transformation. As stated in https://captionspoint.com/traditional-board-games-in-the-digital-age-cultural-relevance/, there is no single answer because it all depends on how we perceive games in general. Personally, I believe that digital versions of board games can indeed retain their cultural relevance, but they will have to go through an important adaptation. For example, games like Chess or Go, which have existed for millennia, are undergoing their digital evolution, and this is quite natural. They are moving into the virtual space, giving fans around the world the opportunity to compete, develop strategies and improve their skills. I myself often play Chess with friends and I can say that it does not spoil the experience at all. Moreover, the presence of platforms where you can play with people all over the world only increases the value of these games. But we have to admit that digitalization changes the very nature of the game. When we play traditional board games at a table, it's not just about the rules or winning, it's, as you said, about this special interaction. This is what we call "cultural significance." For example, in Monopoly or Mafia, human contact is very important, interaction, the ability to read the emotions of opponents and discuss moves. This moment disappears when you play these games through a screen. Mobile apps sometimes make the game more mechanical, simpler and faster, and this special rhythm that is present in real life is lost.
