I can't imagine board-games surviving the age of rotted attention spans.

Maybe they'll be kept alive in some form for the small subset of autistic gamers who love to arrange and lay out thousands of little markers and plastic troops to stage an invasion on cardboard Poland, but they'll likely be print-out plans and 3D-printer files you can download for free.

The days of opening up a shrink-wrapped box of tiny markers and dice and gameboards all arranged in a commercially pleasing tray with a thick rulebook are likely going to come to an end.

Your lack of imagination can become compensated by a little research

The board games market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7% from 2022 to 2030

Yeah I think people are looking for more social alternative to video games.

Though you have stuff like jackbox, and plenty of games that incorporate your smart phone now.
