We played Cults Across America yesterday.

Haven't played that. We have a game of Escape from Colditz happening later and possibly some Shadespire.

Cults Across America is about 20 years old and from Atlas Games. It's a tongue-in-cheek Cthulhu war game. You can have your cultists ride around in possessed satanic push carts to go battle. You can also control dread creatures like Cthulhu, Hastur, and The Pope.

Yeah it is fun. Not sure I would buy it. It is awesome, but not sure I’d still like it after a while because the communication restrictions will become predictable. Also no time to play lol meh.

It's a fun game. Similar ish to risk in a way. Definitely worth playing if you get a chance.

They have new wooden looking versions of some old games like Candy Land and Monopoly. Even though I don't play those, I'm tempted to buy them because they look cool

We played sorry a lot when my daughter was young, and ended up turning it into our own game called shafted. It was pretty fun.

Connect 4 is actually the nut
Game is way more deep than people give it credit for
It is solved but the decision tree is huge so you can't really memorize it
Been gambling on games with friends recently and crushing it

Tortuga 1667 is my current fun game of choice. Hidden roles, back stabbing and teamwork.

There was a bot making competition in an AI class I took and we of course used the solution but we had a bug where bot wouldn't go for the win seemingly randomly, so we ended up second :(

Connect 4 memes are pretty dank right now.
