I'm gonna suggest qwirkle for that. It's a definite step up from the basic board games people know, but it takes a familiar and comfortable form. There's also a travel-size version that comes in a pouch! And you can use the tiles in it to play Skull.

Ooh, I'm always on the lookout for games that can be played with the games I already have. A Mind deck and some card holders should handle it fine. Looks fun, thanks!

The smaller sonar games work quite well, I haven't tried adapting them to real time, but I like the tense cat and mouse of turn based in Captain as well. How is My City with three players? I want to try a campaign with my parents, who are Not Gamers. It seems simple enough for them, so is the player count good? Is the eternal game effected by not having a board altered?

I'm helping a friend move his poo poo and he's trying to get me to take his Pirates of the Spanish Main collection. Anyone have any word on this thing? The punch-out ships are charming, but what even ist?

I think I will. There's way more than a few packs of cards, and it's at least worth a try.

My grandfather's old desk, actually. Thick metal, cloth(linen?)-lined top, and a glass over that. A remarkable pain to move anywhere.

Funny. It's actually a set of two. One with a full set of drawers, the other with just the wide middle one. I'm cleaning the manydrawers desk before I wheel it in.

Is Dice Throne the one where it's just Sagrada but you're making a character sheet and then nothing happens?

The funny thing is I really like Sagrada as a casual, multiplayer abstract. Roll Player just seemed to add more decisions without adding more interestingness.

My group played two games back to back of Horrified! Universal Monsters. It's a solid light co-op in the Pandemic vein. We got our asses kicked the first time fighting Dracula, the Wolfman, and Frankenstein plus Bride, and won the second time against the Frankensteins and the mummy. It's pretty cool that the monsters all have to be defeated in very different ways, while still revolving around collecting items of different sorts, and the items you don't need this time are still useful, because having items is essentially an HP pool. Looks like Ravensburger put out a new set based on North American cryptids. Does anyone know if they screwed that one up the same way they screwed up the Villainous expansion that they put out after splitting with Prospero Hall?

Screw Meltwater, where's your game about making boys kiss? Seriously though, congratulations.

Lucky for you it's false, since he actually is an embarrassing, bigoted shitbag.

Honestly, the best way to get into the hobby these days is probably the game section at Target. Move past the party games and the IPs(and even some of those are really good) and they've got a pretty solid selection.

My group had a go at Voyages tonight! This is a recent Kickstarter that fulfilled very very quickly because it's a one-page print-and-play game. Not counting the rules, of course. This is a multiplayer solitaire game wherein you each control a ship on a vast hex-based ocean. Every round three dice are rolled, and you pick one die result to be the speed at which your ship will move, one to be the vector along which your ship will travel, and the third to be the "Duty," which is a little crossword puzzle looking thing where you cross off the number you picked. You earn points from visiting islands, exploring uncharted waters, finding and selling various goods, fighting pirates, and various other whatnot. People keep saying it was designed by Mr Roland Wright, but I don't think it's one of his works. For one thing, I like it better than the vast majority of those games, and for another, (it seems to me) the primary action in a roll and write game is rolling some dice, and either picking where to draw a thing, or picking which thing to cross out, and since the only part of it that really counts as that is the Duties, which uses only one third of the dice, and at most one eighth of the page space, I'd describe this more as a roll-and-move game. If it's a roll-and-move game, it's the most interesting roll-and-move game I've ever played, And even if you do call it a roll-and-write game, it's certainly the most thematic roll-and-write game I've ever seen. This thing has elements of pickup and delivery, exploration, set collection, questing... and the system has the potential to be ridiculously flexible in what you can do with more than the three maps that were included in the Kickstarter. If you want to play it, it should be available for online purchase in early 2022, and I heartily recommend it!
