For a Holiday Gift, Board Game or App of Board Game?

Tara Runyan from Oakland plays LIFE with her daughter Julia on the iPad. Though they enjoyed it at first, it “gets boring after the novelty wears off,” she said.

“The physical board game is a lot more fun,” Runyan said. “There are things that are automated, like playing the cards you draw, that take away the strategy element, which is minimal anyway.”

My daughter, Lucy, agrees. “With the game, you have to do your own math, which is more fun, except when I’m feeling lazy,” she said.”Plus, your parents don’t tell you to get off the iPad screen, because they think it’s okay for you to play the real game.”

And although you can technically play with others on the iPad version, Lucy points out it’s more fun to play with real people “because they can actually talk to me.”

Any redeeming qualities of the app? It’s easier to clean up and much more portable.
