Just One doesn't get played ?!!!?!!! For our group it gets played every 3-4 evenings, often as the closeout game, not scoring, but simply using it to play until we're ready to finish. It's a lovely chill way to finish the evening.

I think Awkward Guests is phenomenal at two players, because the randomness is smoothed out. Players participate in every trade, so they always get the same “value” of information. It’s also possible to track the other player’s knowledge well enough to purposefully bury information you know they need, which adds some delightful table talk. Any traded cards get discarded, so both players constantly get new information, which also balances the randomness inherent in some cards being better.

You have to hold your game group to their promises. I noticed a trend with many of these games were people promise to play something and then they never do. You can't have them control the pace otherwise you will only play what they want to play. I had this same problem but to the more extreme, with my group only wanting to play Gloomhaven each week. At a certain point, when they came over I stopped letting them decide, and just set up a game on a table before they showed up. They protested but usually they still loved the games I picked out.

This intuition you are talking about in Detective games is actually not a deductive skill, but rather abductive. I learned that from Sherlock Holmes. Abduction is a syllogism or form of argument in which the major premise is evident, but the minor is only probable. And that's the problem, I can not rely on probability. And that's Sherlock's whole MO.

western legends definitely needs everyone to get into the table chatter, caring enough about other people's turns to engage in what they're doing. Someone robbed the bank, then next time they go near, suggestions are made about what they're up to etc. etc. played seriously as a normal optimisation puzzle, and you're absolutely right, it fast becomes a dull wait between turns. That was my first experience of the game, and it was amazing that I saw the spark of potential to give it another go (and it shone with the right group / attitude). So if you do play it again, try to put competitive instincts partially to the side, grab a glass of wine and some nibbles, and start running up a narrative on other people's turns, encouraging others to join in the fun.

I also got rid of Awkward Guests. Much too solitaire for me. When we played, I figured out the solution but despite winning, I didn't enjoy it. Yes, it's the better version of Clue but that isn't saying much, is it? Just One! is an evergreen for me. I can play it with literally anyone, even more accessible than Codenames (if that is even possible) because it's packaged like a party game rather than a thinky word game.

Ouch on Abyss leaving. It's a big favorite of mine xP. I liken it to Lords of Waterdeep. Absolutely love the theme and artwork and I personally find games where you and your friends are Lords vying for power and trying to get advantages within a dwelling/city to be the ruler of. Obviously to each their own, but shame it didn't stick for you. Hate to ask, but do you think the huge influx of games you have to play and view for multiple videos and across multiple channels kinda pushes a bunch of games to the side that would otherwise maybe stay for a few more plays?

My problem with tiny epic dungeons is it takes an hour and at that length I would rather just play any other dungeon crawl with better components. The fact that you get minis at 20 dollars is amazing but it's minis tied behind whatever gameplay. Also the boss fighting is awful.

Agreed. The game is pretty good and fun but boss fights are not enjoyable (to me). The drafting to ward mechanic is something that doesn’t bring me enjoyment. Maybe if it was a specific mechanic for a specific boss but every boss? It’s clunky.

The boss fights are a little lacking, but the rest I think is great. At 1h what dungeon crawl with better components are you playing?!? Lol. I’ve played a lot of dungeon crawls and I’d say 3 hours is closer to the norm and tiny epic dungeons depending on player count is about 45min-1 hour. As a streamlined, faster dungeon crawl I think TE Dungeons is very solid, and I think the fair complaint against it is really the same as all Tiny Epic Series. (It’s more like Tiny Semi-Epic series).

I find when a new version is coming (like Robinson Crusoe is atm for me) I don’t play the original. Partly because I know it won’t be as good as the new version, and partly because then it builds the hype even more for the new version. IMO just give it to her and build the hype for the new better version! It will make the Christmas morning feel even stronger when you finally get to play it.

My basic response when someone wishes me a “Merry Christmas” is “Thank You.” I mean, someone is wishing me well, how can I have any other response? That’s a GOOD thing! Now, when work throws a mandatory Christmas party… well, that’s a little annoying. But not as annoying when they call it a “Holiday Party,” but the entire theme is Christmas top to bottom, front to back. That’s just dishonest. Better to just call it a Christmas party, which is what it is, and make it optional. This way, everyone gets what they want, no drama.

Seems like a larger stack of stuff this month. Or maybe it was just the extra rambling... 😁 In any case, interesting to hear your thoughts. Have played Western Legends and enjoyed it but can see your issue. Have come close several times to picking up Abyss but never have. It's still one I'd like to play at some point. Luke Hector (Broken Meeple) will likely be coming after you for getting rid of that one! Especially since you didn't play it with the expansions which I believe he feels one of them (Leviathans?) is really essential / very substantially improves the game.
