This is an excessively gaudy, flashy tool with lots of built in comedic physical interactions which aren't necessary to render the vast majority of board games. Because of this, it takes a high-performance computer to play board games seriously on it. For a highly social environment like this, such a barrier is a considerable detriment.
Nevertheless, what this software lacks in polish it makes up for in ubiquity. There are plenty of publicly available board games on this platform that are very high-quality. While it's no substitute for playing board games with friends in person, it's about as good as it gets these days and I had a lot of fun with it. Overall, if you are a board game hobbyist, this ends up being a must have. If you aren't a board game hobbyist but one of your friends is, I am sure they will be happy to spend many hours with you in this game.
