XBLA because it is hard to get enough people to sit down around a board game to play it.

I prefer to sit face to face. But that is rather difficult. So XBLA is easier to find someone to enjoy a mental game with.

It depends. If the controls are hard I’d opt for traditional games but if they’re nice and easy, XBOX Live Arcade.

XbL is fun but wont ever replace the traditional!

XBLA

I have no real life friends to play with lol.

Who even play board games anymore? With XBLA no more worrying about cleaning up or lost pieces. XBLA FTW!

xbla because I can play whenever I want!

I actually like playing on xbox better. My girlfriend collects german (mostly) board games and has a whole room full of them, so I can actually say that I’ve played most XBLA board games in both forms. I like them on Arcade better because the game does all of the counting for you. Playing Carcasson is much more fun when you don’t have to sit there and count scores when the game is over.

XBLA. It’s way easier to put the game away when you’re done playing.

I prefer to play board games live in person; you know, with real people. Although, I do have to admit that Catan was a blast online.

It really depends on what the game is, if it’s something like Monopoly where it is going to take a while to finish the game, I’d prefer to play face to face, so we can take breaks. If it’s something fun and easy like a card game (ie UNO) then I’ll play on the XBLA.

Traditional board games are more fun if you can get the people to play them. It is always fun to see peoples reactions directly when things happen that affect them, like a good or bad move.

[QUOTE:Eric Y.] With friends, table top board games. Alone, XBLA. [/QUOTE]

Fully agree!

Gimmie gimme!

I prefer playing board games on traditional boards. Thanks for the giveaway!

I loved monopoly as a young boy as well as other board games like chutes & ladders, Trivia Pursuit, and Life. But I'm an adult now and well we have achievements on XBLA so now I prefer playing board gams on my 360. I'm looking forward to Wits and Wagers and of course Monopoly on my 360.

After having played the XBLA game for a bit, I'd definitely prefer the board game over the original. Lots of repeats and errors such as WINNER! being displayed on, say, someone who finished without chips, otherwise it's been fairly fun.In general, with a good translation, I'd love to see a lot more board games ported to XBLA, and I definitely prefer XBLA over “the hassle.” See UNO

Board game. You get to play with your own custom rules and it's a lot more fun to play with people in the same room. They're the original party games. :

I like to play them on the XBLA over Xbox Live since my Family doesn't sit down to play board games so I am stuck with video game versions of them.
