There was a lot of depth in the Last Airbender cartoons …  not all of it obvious to kids, but it definitely was there.

@odinsgrandson in the USA they don’t have the additional challenge of localization. And even despite that there has been a definite trend of ‘better’ boardgames in toyshops around here as well.

I didn’t mean to imply that a boardgame needs to be as successful as videogames.
However given the agressive advertising by videogame companies and the plug&play nature of them boardgames need to work extra hard to attract attention of teens.
Things like ‘Mice and Mystics’ could be seen as ‘not cool’ or ‘for toddlers’ …
It’s the sort of thing grandma might buy for her little nephew and while he may like it there’s no way he’s telling his friends at school he’s playing little mice …
Heroquest has a better chance … (and some of the dungeon crawlers mentioned so far would do too)

Maybe all that is needed is an App ? 😉
