I'll give you LEGO and cardboard, but in what sense are nerf darts or boardgames meaningfully different or better from a skill-based videogame?

I’d say physical activity and face-to-face interaction.

They are not. It’s just that neoludditism seems to run pretty strong in certain communities. Makes people feel different and special

Nerf darts are different in that they require physical movement and better hand-eye coordination.

Board-games are just substandard video games.

Because you use your full body for it. More with nerf, less with board games, but still a different body sensation.
