When I opened [this review](https://bumblingthroughdungeons.com/hundreds-of-horses-board-game-review/) for a game called Hundreds of Horses, I expected to have a good laugh about an awful game. The first two sentences: It’s like a less-complicated Dixit. And all horses. However, the author is actually fairly positive! It's clearly not a "hobby game" and not meant for hobby gamers, but it works and can be fun. What other games fall into this category? I'll nominate: - **Happy Salmon**. What's more fun than high fiving and running around a table? - **Spot It**: Reverse spot the differences. Pure reflex game that can be explained in ten seconds - Time's Up!: Describe something, describe it in one word, and charades. Practically always a hit

    I like it a lot more than Virus! I feel it's a lot more melodic, whereas Virus for me fell on the classic prog metal trap of complexity for complexity's sake. However, The Mountain is still my favorite.

    Also check out Charlie Griffith's solo album. It's quite a bit heavier than Haken, with thrash metal influences, and tbh I like it more than Haken's work.

    These are my go to games for larger groups:

    • Codenames: A modern classic! Works best with 6 or 8 people.
    • Decrypto: For a more gamey version of Codenames.
    • Wavelength: Fun party game that spikes interesting conversations
    • Concept: Don't play to win, just play to have fun guessing

    The link doesn't work for me, is it the same as everynoise.com?

    I've been mostly using Spotify and some Dutch review sites. I still have a Last.fm account but don't use it much anymore, Spotify has mostly replaced it.

  • This genre seems to be fairly popular, and I can see why. Instead of just building a deck for the sake of building it (like in **Dominion**), adding a racing element makes the game more interactive, tense, and tangible. I've only played a few, and I'm interested in how **Heat** compares to for example. I really enjoy **Clank!** and **The Quest for El Dorado**. I'd say Quest is the better game. It's cleaner, has fewer rules, and more variety in terms of maps. However, Clank! can be more *fun*. All the weird cards, the fights, drawing from the Dragon bag, and trying to get out alive make it a more lively (but also more random) game.

    Anything with tiles works well, like Hive, Hanabi Deluxe, or Carcassonne. Dice games also work well, such as Pickomino. And there's Crokinole, if your table can fit it
