Ideally without mentioning its name, I’ll start

  • unspoken cooperation playing cards to survive in space (or underwater)
  • tax simulator but you’re trying to make the red planet liveable

    Cars jockeying for position as they run laps, hoping they don’t crash

    Fuck your sheep, wood, grain and roads, I hate this island and want to leave

      That first one sounds like every racing game ever, so I’ll guess a good one: Rallyman GT?

        Bingo!

        I couldn’t find a way of distinguishing it from other racing games without giving it away, but personally, I love Rallyman GT but don’t so much love other racing games, because the positioning and how it impacts you and other players is much more important in Rallyman

        Formula D

        Rallyman GT. I enjoy it much much more than Formula D. Formula D didn’t have enough crunch for me

      Forbidden Island!

      Forbidden Desert!

      Wait so desert was your least favorite? I found it adequately challenging compared to island which felt a bit too easy for a co-op game :o

        I think for the group I was playing with, Forbidden Island was more accessible. It’s probably not my absolute least favorite game, but I was curious if anyone would pick up on the games with just two word sentences. 😂

    We’re going to Center City to play with the game pieces.(The only hint I’ll give ya is not the Checker pieces. Go Birds!)

    Last time we parked on Pennsylvania Ave we saw a dude get stabbed on our way to Tropicana.

    • Take 4-12 hours to industrialize the solar system on a gigantic beautiful board. Only use 20% of it. Roll or FINAO.
    • Take 2 hours to industrialize the west coast of England.

    Least favorite(s):

    • Take 5 hours to pick a random winner by giving someone a carrot.
    • Take 15 minutes to randomly drive people insane by throwing a die at them.

    Nordic Tetris.

    Let’s all watch one person get lucky with some die rolls and slowly take everything from everyone else.

    You only have cards to set up your space empire, potentially trade based

    Infinite miniatures allow you to defend or attack the Shire

    Cooperative dungeon crawl with cowboys and tentacles.

    The winner has been determined within the first hour, but there’s 5 hours left of this godforsaken rail game.

    Alternate set:

    Supremely tuned deck based dungeon crawl.

    Supremely tuned deck based dungeon crawl with snow.

    “global thermonuclear war, and I’m Joshua.”

    This game has too many damn pieces for a game about birds and is effectively over by the second turn so now everyone else sits and waits for the end game conditions, just going through the motions.

    • We are cute little wood creatures marching, battling and stealing from each other in the forrest.

    (Apart from the usual suspects, I don’t have a least favourite, therefore here one I just don’t enjoy)

    • Oh, dear, how could you invite the Americans again, they are such rude guests.
