Who we are
We're a small group of friends who kept losing the first forty minutes of every game night to the question in this site's name. So we started writing down what actually worked, for four people on two phones, for twelve people around one table, for two people in two time zones.
Every page here follows the same rules. We played it, more than once, or it doesn't get a page. Verdicts are signed, with a play count, by the person who'll defend them. Nobody pays us for placement, and "skip it" stays on the menu. The goldfish is a long story.
The four of us
- ♣ einar
- Wrangles the big nights. Learned the Storyteller role so nobody else has to, and has run six games of Clocktower without once calling it hosting.
- ♦ rosa
- Keeps the two-time-zone game nights alive. Has watched every Gartic Phone prompt turn into a crime scene, and keeps the screenshots as evidence.
- ♠ sam
- Owns the phones-on-the-table games. Seventeen Spaceteam runs in, and the reason the downstairs neighbor once texted to ask if everything was ok.
- ♥ maya
- Reads the room, then escalates it. Forty-one games of Fishbowl and still puts things like the economy in the bowl to see what happens.
