There are certain games that are very fiddly to setup and play that can be a much better experience digitally. I play Race for the Galaxy and Star Realms on my phone as my go-to time-wasters. I can play a game in just a few minutes. I would probably play 7 Wonders more if all the shuffling, dealing, and scoring were handled automatically.
I still like playing them live, but I also enjoy the phone apps for a quick boardgame fix.
