Ehh, it's not really overly complex. Also many videogames would be too onerous to do as a board game, but they don't get called "too complex". I could show you several real board games that are worse, lol.
Right many video games wouldn't do as a board game, but a CCG *should*. Artifact would put to shame some board games on their down time and upkeep. I mean look at all the things you'd have to track and do:
-Randomly assign heros/creeps to lanes every round.
-Assign hero/creeps's target every round.
-Keep track of every health/armor/attack on every single card when rows can have *TONS* of cards.
-Calculate the damage from the combat phase 3 times every round.
-Keep track of all unit cool downs
-Keep track of all improvements
-Keep track of gold, bounties, secret shop items etc.
-Keep track of rounds, hero respawn times.
-Keep track of all equipped items and their cooldowns.
It would be a nightmare, you'd spend very very very little time playing the actual game. There'd be Axis and Allies games that'd take less time.
