The addition continues Netflix's push into casual, social party games designed to be played on phones during group gatherings, building on a strategy it has pursued for roughly 18 months to add value to subscriptions. Bringing a well-known tabletop title into its games library could help Netflix attract casual players who might not otherwise engage with its gaming offerings.
