No particular order, current favs are:

  • Ticket to Ride
  • Carcassonne
  • Wits & Wagers
  • Apples to Apples (*house rules only*)
  • Family Feud
  • Catchphrase
  • Codenames
  • Uno
  • Bridge
  • Euchre
  • Hearts / Spades
  • Sevens
  • Bulls***
  • Mexican Train
  • Almost all the Jackbox games, like Quiplash

Kinda tired of all the Cards against Humanity-style games. CAH only seems to be worthwhile if you have a TON of cards available as opposed to just one or two packs that everyone's seen.

Ticket to Ride is great and the European Routes version is a lot of fun.

Sushi Go is a fun little card game, easy to pick up, always makes folks happy.

Flux is also a fun card game, with lots of variant packs.

Secret Hitler is darned good, and isn't as coarse as one would think.

Talisman is a classic, but be prepared for a long, long game.

Arkham Horror can be a blast if you have a group of friends who are into HP Lovecraft or at least know about the mythos.

Forbidden Island is a great cooperative game.

We've enjoyed Sushi Go, too

Flux can be entertaining, but needs the right crowd.

I'm not a fan of Secret Hitler; I find other "guessing" games more entertaining. Maybe it needs more playthroughs on my part.

I like Talisman online; the iOS port seems pretty good.

Forgot to add earlier:  Pandemic and Azul.

Been trying to play Betrayal at House on the Hill, Small World, and Gloom -- but nobody seems to want to dive into these.

Betrayal can be great fun. Haven't tried Small World and Gloom yet.

Anyone else ever play Twixt? It's an older game that I loved as a kid but haven't ever found anyone else who plays/has played it.

I have a ton of older games that nobody wants to dig into.

Have a number of friends who want to have "game night", but then say "bring a game" without having a plan of what they'd actually want to play.   Plus they invite 8-10 people, which severely limits the number of games one can play with a group that large.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
