Let's talk about the present; we don't read so much as we did once. We prefer the PC instead of a quiet night by the fireplace with our friends, talking about the latest gossips or even playing a board game. When was the last time you played a game based on a real board game? You might answer me right back that you just had a game of Scrabble or Risk.

Now ask yourself, when did you last play a board game based on a PC game, hard thing to answer, isn't it?
