| Feb 4, 2016 at 19:54 | comment | added | SocioMatt | @diego I assume that would spark quite the conversation in Meta. My basic point is that the strict delineation of games based on where they're played (physically or digitally) might be less useful to users than the mechanics of how they're played. As we, as a society, move more into digital space, games that may have been produced as physical products may be created digitally instead. What we're essentially saying here is that we are separating the sites based on distribution rather than game mechanics, and I'm unsure if that is the most logical separation. | |

| Feb 4, 2016 at 18:57 | comment | added | SocioMatt | While I understand the sentiment, I can't help feeling like this is a fringe case. Let's take the hypothetical where WotC decides it's losing money on printing and distribution of physical MTG product, so for all future sets they are going to be released digital only (I know this sounds crazy). That would mean any questions regarding mechanics in these sets would be off-topic on B&CG.SE because there is no longer a physical implementation of the game. However, given the structure of MTG as a game, it fits more closely with this community than Arqade. This would also seem to hold for HS. | |

| Dec 28, 2015 at 15:43 | comment | added | Pat Ludwig Mod | @DanHenderson - I think it would yes. Hearthstone is a definite edge case that points out that our line is arbitrary. However, the line is fairly clear and serves as a reasonable guide most of the time. | |
| Dec 26, 2015 at 6:59 | comment | added | Dan Henderson | Not that I think this would ever happen, but if, in theory, they ever somehow made a physical version of Hearthstone, would I be correct to assume that this answer would change? | |
| Dec 24, 2015 at 16:45 | comment | added | diego | @EthanTheBrave From out On Topic page: "Questions about computer implementations of board games are fine." and "We're not the right place to ask questions about: Computer games" So if you are asking about an electronic version of Chess it would be on topic here, but if it is a game like Hearthstone that doesn't have a physical version it is not. | |
| Dec 24, 2015 at 16:28 | comment | added | Ethan The Brave | Is that just a general rule-of-thumb for this site then? Anything purely digital, even a digital board or card game, is to be considered for Arqade instead of this site? I'm fine with that - I'd just like to know for sure. | |
