*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
Board games gained significant momentum throughout the past two decades,
with some of the best creations earning millions of dollars in funding
platforms during 2021, in spite of the Covid-19 pandemic. Additionally,
digital games have surpassed all other media, from film to music, in
investments and returns. Board and digital games are two forms of play
which use the same base of design – the game design – so it was without
surprise that a new hybrid approach, that mixed both media, would appear.
Over the past five years, we have seen games with Augmented Reality,
board games using smartphones as assisting tools, tablets being used as
boards, or even games using real food–edible games. This combination of
digital and physical components and strategies in games contributes to a
new experience of play which enhances not only the player’s immersion
and interaction, but also the contents, presentation, atmosphere, and
control of the game. There are some questions emerging in this
discussion, namely about the complementary relationship between physical
and digital games: What are the borderlines between real and virtual
dimensions in hybrid games? How can hybrid games provide a more
participatory gaming experience while players become engaged with
digital and physical components at the same time? Which model of
interaction design of hybrid games best favors player experience,
communication, and engagement?
In this special issue, we want not only to present the current
state-of-the-art of the hybrid games, as the possibilities beyond
current days, making use of speculative approaches to design, as design
fiction, but we want to dig deeper through the lenses of interaction
design, in order to understand the new needs in the realm of
technologies. Furthermore, we want to understand the full impacts and
effects of this move on human interaction with game artifacts and
consequently find out what should we expect from the discipline of
interaction design while using ludic approaches in the next decade.
