I'd like to think that they still have a place in our lives and despite opting to spend the majority of my free time playing video games, I always enjoy playing a good board game! They might be considered old fashioned by some people but unlike cassette tapes, they haven't faded out of existence just yet and I hope they never do.
I'm not only a big fan of board games, I also love card games and table top RPGs - I like to think of myself as an all encompassing gamer!
