I'm not sure what you mean exactly TBH but tournament are fun when they are board games. From what I have observed so far; there are not a lot of board games out there. Only poker is there and that's too limited; I can remember SwCpoker and betnomi if I'm not wrong. That's one of the limitations of having a tournament. I guess that's the reason.
Boardgames are fun and a great way to test your decision making skills and so far not just acquaintances can enjoy the game but it's mean to be a game for family. I was one of the participants of that said event and it was really a fun and memorable poker tournament we've had here enjoying with the forum members, though I stopped personally joining from the game considering the timing.
