5. Board Game Adaptations

Life and Monopoly are such household names you would be hard pressed to find someone who didn't have an old box sitting around. With people more desperate than ever to find a sense of normalcy, taking these classic games online with modern graphics and the ability to chat in real time could make it feel like a normal family game night.

While it's true that there are still almost yearly releases of these types of adaptations, it's rare if ever you see any adaptations of less popular board games. It's easier than ever for people to get into games development, and this could open the way for lesser known modern board games into the limelight. Games like Arkham Horror or King of Tokyo would benefit greatly from modern adaptations of their games. Settlers of Catan is a perfect example of this in action, an immensely popular board game that was adapted to a video game, allowing for those who have never played it to try it out online.
