Depends on the number of people. If 3-4, and they like cards, one of the Mystery Rummy games might be good: [link]

Both Jack the Ripper and Murders in the Rue Morgue can play with 4.

Or are you looking for a German-style game?

Hm. Maybe the cooperative Lord of the Rings games? (Even though I've never, ever WON a game? I still think they're fun.)

Not too complex, and being menaced by the One-Eyed Cat of Doom (aka the "Sauron" piece) is hysterical.

move out and draw fire

2-3 people. They like Settlers of Catan and Cleopatra/Architects.

Jack the Ripper is good for three.

Of course, there's always Bohnanza, but maybe there's too much luck of the draw in that.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I may have to get this game so I know what the fuck you people are talking about.

Dammit, I feel responsible. I *proposed* this thread and I have no clue as to what happens in it.

It's pretty easy to follow, MM. StuntHusband and I are the good guys, and we're struggling to foil the nefarious plans of the evil meatsacks.

Easy enough to understand.

Sure, sounds like...

WAIT A MOMENT! Cylons are just appliances with delusions of grandeur and nuclear weapons! Fuck you guys!

(If in response to this you feel the need to spoil seasons 4.5 and 5...dont. I will knife you in the groin no matter where/what gender you are.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

...what gender you are.

I think one is A/C and one is D/C.
