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

      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.

    Nordic Tetris.

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

    “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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • Roads and rivers on tiles. Boredom.
    • Describe your card, but not too well. Perfection.
