I feel like I could have known this is a Friedemann Friese game…

I love Bosh!. It has some great dishes for a dinner party, but also some simple things like Hummus and Baba Ganoush.

Yes! I think these also fall in the “can be explained within 1 minute” category

Correct! Definitely in the first, not sure about the second

This seems to be a link to the current thread

Like a glove!

Yes! Oh man the first and last songs, so much raw emotion.

By the way, awesome user name (assuming it’s referencing one of my GOAT albums)!

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
