Xbox is looking to dust off some old franchises, but not how you'd expect!

Back in the mid-2000s I definitely found myself in camp Xbox. The whole us vs them nonsense of the console wars was ridiculous, but Xbox really was coming strong with some (now classic) titles.

Now it seems like they want to breathe new life into some dormant franchises, bringing them back as board games!

Apparently Zoo Tycoon might be the first project in the works, but there are so many that could be amazing adaptations.

For combat-driven games you could have Kung Fu Chaos or more serious like MechAssault. Adventure games could include Fable (of course!), or something like Grabbed by the Ghoulies - does anyone remember that?

And be honest, who wouldn't play a Conker board game? 😆

What franchise do you think would make a good board game, or do are there any existing ones you'd recommend?
