Has the rise of the computer game fuelled an interest in board games? Alex Hern is joined by an expert panel to discuss

On this edition of Tech Weekly, presented by Alex Hern, we investigate the rise of the board game. Alex is joined by a panel of board-game aficionados; Ellie Gibson, games writer and co-founder of the Scummy Mummies podcast and comedy show; and avid board gamer Owen Duffy, Guardian writer and founder of the Unplugged Games Club in his native Glasgow; and Will Freeman, Observer games reviewer and contributing editor of Develop magazine. The panel discuss a new generation of board games that integrate technology but also explore and extend the best aspects of traditional board games.

Here are the games our expert panel recommend highly: Owen Duffy recommends Matt Leacock's game Pandemic; Ellie Gibson likes the updated classic Risk; and Will Freeman favours Terror in Meeple City.
