Wow, for some reason I'm really surprised Reck liked Concept. I need to get that game.
I didn't receive any games for Christmas, it's too hard to educate my gift-giving masses ;P Instead, I bought myself Word on the Street, Cash 'n' Guns and Dragon's Gold.There will be no kisses tonight
There will be no holding hands tonight

Concept is really fun and feels like it fulfills the same niche as Codenames. We played Concept for like 4 hours last night. Really really fun.
Tragedy Looper is...holy shit! It's Clue on crack.
I got the Tragedy Looper expansion for Christmas. If the base game is Clue on Crack, this expansion is like... crystal meth. This shit is so insane, but so dope.Yes my Lord, but questions are dangerous, for they have answers.

I see all of these cool games, but don't have enough people close by that are willing to play often enough to justify buying.
I play Settlers of Catan with my kid and occasionally with a bunch of friends, it's definitely better with more than two players. I have the seafarers expansion, but rarely use it.
Survive (Escape from Atlantis) is a really fun game if looking to play something not as in depth as some of the titles I see mentioned. Anyone familiar with it?
I've been thinking of getting civilization because I love the video game, can anybody with experience of the board game advise me if it's worth it? I imagine the set-up alone taking forever.
Khesh 2.0 is a decent chess type two player game using lasers and mirrors.नमस्ते-

It's honestly pretty fucking broken sadly
there are no good rules for even number of players in a room.
ex: 6 players in a room. 3 red, 3 blue. How do you dictate leadership fairly? The only rules I believe it offers is "first to vote gets it" but that ends up with games won/lost over who can say "I VOTE HIM" first.
Until I can find a way to fix that 2rooms is kind of dead to me.@thesupertriomusical on Instagram, come see it if you’re in LA area, I wrote it!-

Having played Two Rooms about 15 times now, I don't think that there's actually anything there beyond a bit of outguessing as to whether each team sends or keeps their VIP in the last hostage exchange. Everything else is just ineffective window-dressing - occasionally funny window-dressing, but not consequential.#greenshirtthursdays-

I have a theory that mafiascum people are really bad at only sharing information when it's actually beneficial to them in 2roomz&boom because we want to figure out everything, but unless you can eke out the information in a way that everything only comes together in the last round, it does usually go to outguessing the other room's leader. Games with less than 12-15 people tend for that to happen even sooner, especially if you do the monopoly-esque *let's change the rules and accidentally make it worse* of doing 5-4-3 minute rounds instead of 3-2-1 with 10 or less players.
I do think that for it to be really good you need enough third parties for them to matter in choosing a leader in at least one of the rooms though.-

Recently we've been playing A Fake Artist goes to New York over skype. It's good! The concept is a bit like Spyfall: all the players are told the subject of the picture they should be drawing, except for the spy (the fake artist), who is only told the category. Everyone then each contributes one line towards a group painting, in turn. After that, everyone votes to identify the spy. The spy wins if they aren't caught, or, if they are caught but then successfully guess the subject of the painting.
Here are a few of our drawings - you can play along at home!
(warning: This game is difficult and I don't think anyone could get all of these answers right - remeber the artists are trying to obscure the subject of the painting so the spy won't guess it, and the spy is trying to bluff that they know it)

Had a boardgame night on Saturday. That was fun, the games I could remember were Spyfall, Citadels (which I won), Codenames and one more that was made in Hong Kong, something about investigations and the like.
We also played Quiplash and Drawful, ahaha. I'm awful at Quiplash."It hurts to have control over anything. I'd rather be a leaf in the wind."

I suppose it would depend on the game.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.
