[@Pencliff]

It's been a while since I played Tsuro but I do remember really enjoying it.

[@jamespooh2]

I liked this. I should start keeping tally of the games I play in a month.

[@bouncinmouncin]

There's a great app called BGStats or Board Game Stats where you can track your games.

Love Skull King. I think a good start game to understand the dynamic is Wizard

[@kyleb8117]

Seems the artist for Fort hired the quickest Hitman in history. Downside is they don't know how to open doors. They're fast, but inefficient. As a trick-taking fan, I've been wanting to play Skull King. I basically never play them here, though. I even recently got Ghosts of Christmas, which is a retheme (and improvement) of Time Palatrix from Japan. The hook is: you are playing three tricks at once (past, present, and future). First person to play to one of the three becomes the trump suit, but once everyone has played one card to each time frame, you run the tricks in order. (There also is a suit that always trumps.) This can make for some interesting resolutions because the person that started the past trick isn't necessarily going to win the present trick, which can change the trump suit. The other twist, which makes it even more daunting to get people that aren't used to trick-taking games into the game is the scoring. Like with Spades and some others, you bid how many tricks you'll take. Difference is, you place tokens out to represent your bid. If you hit your bid you get 2 points for each trick. If you don't, you get NOTHING...good DAY, SIR. You can, however put a buffer on your bid and say, for instance, that you'll get 3 or 4 tricks. If you get it, it's worth only 1 point each, but it gives you an extra trick you can take and still get points. (The reskin actually added a nicer points system for beginners where you just try to get a middle-range of tricks like with Fox in the Forest.) Euchre is pronounced "you-cur". I haven't played it yet, though I almost did once. Isn't it similar to Bridge? Sounds like it based on your description. I didn't really like Bridge. Camel Up is always entertaining, whether watching it or playing it. I like to play favorites a lot as well, though I do suffer from wanting to learn new games a lot. If I was a KZbinr for board games, I'd be gobbling up the latest games and learning and playing ones I've always wanted to play (like Kanban EV or Lisboa) like mad. Slenderman board game would probably be easy to make since he seems to be able to just teleport (easy AI to design), but who knows if it'd be any fun or what the goal is (hopefully not collecting pages, but it probably would end up being that). Have you watched Marble Hornets? I've been considering re-watching and catching up on it. Last time I watched it, I got to the newest episode which was something like 70 or 75.

I kinda like these videos

[@chswrkmn6508]

euchre is pronounced like “yoo-ker” fyi. im from the midwest and my family plays euchre at nearly every family gathering, and i grew up thinking it was a card game that was universally well known. even outside of my family, pretty much everyone i know is familiar with the game. recently i was with some friends who were from missouri, new jersey, and virginia, and was surprised that none of them had ever even heard of it. guess it’s more of a regional thing.

[@bouncinmouncin]

Yup. My friend from the Midwest taught it to me so this checks out

[@Allin1worlds]

Werewolf go werewolf

[@jamespooh2]

Don't feel bad. There's a handful of great games whose art I'm not a fan of. Doesn't make it bad, just not my taste.

[@jeremybrocknblue5593]

There is a hint in this video as to why.

[@josuevalar6465]

When

[@shmeatloaf]

where

[@dan.s8230]

Sounds like your mom cheated lol Otherwise, that was a pretty lucky guess with astronaut

[@randomer5555]

She definitely cheated

[@kyleb8117]

I think the first two questions are pretty reasonable. I remember a noun as being a "Person, place, or thing" so my brain would say to ask if it's a person if I was going for that. Professions would be easier to guess than trying to narrow down random famous people. I would guess she started with Astronaut because she was going to go through the alphabet and it was the first A profession she thought of. Maybe she'd guess Artist or Architect or something next. Doesn't seem implausible that she just random guessed good questions. *Edit:* I accidentally two sentences together.
