I really wonder though what the market could be for a strictly board game version of anything these days. Especially given the difficulty for niche market computer text-based sports sims - those interested in a paper-based version has to be so small that even covering costs is a delusional dream.

I loved all the board games that I have played over the years but even I can't go back to them at this point in any real measure. There can't possibly be a viable market can there?
I'd be likely to buy a board game, but I've already confessed to being an old APBA gamer. I nearly wore out their old boxing board game. Didn't have a PC back then for the computerized version. Buying a game, though, wouldn't mean I'd play. Wouldn't do more than look over the cards and ratings.
