Board games and card games have been around for thousands of years such prior to video games, one of them was Mahjongg: Legends of the Tiles. They are often ported to computer programs because of the ease of access and little need for set up time. They can be played on the internet or LAN between players, like Catan, helping them to become popular to play online.
