The greatest boardgame to become a computer game was Civilization which also started out as an Avalon Hill game once upon a time.

Sid Meier, creator of the Civ computer games, says that this is not how it happened.

"I had not played that before I did Civilization," says Meier. "I played it later. I remember there were some cards and trading. It was more ancient; it didn't really come into any sort of modern or medieval times."
