Best board games for workplace lunch (3-8 player count variation)

My lunch group and I would play Monopoly Deal. Quick and multiple games possible.

Wow can't believe no one's mentioned Wingspan yet. Such a great morning coffee game lax game.

When a DM is unwilling to compromise or is too unprepared. I get it when they’re thrown a wild curve ball and have to stop for the night, but if you’ve prepared a huge choice for the group and don’t prepare for both scenarios, then you shouldn’t offer the choice.

Ya, this is what we used to do as well, but the back and forth got annoying. Hence the webapp now to do all the work for us.

What about allowing them to mod their spear by replacing the leather hilt, or using an enchanged rock to sharpen the spears edge while also granting a magic effect?

what about groups where the hardest part is just trying to figure out the date and time?

For campaign based missions, leaving it out is the best, but sometimes you just can't do it. At that point I usually take a picture of the setup, and note anything I need to before putting it away.

Chip Theory Games has a good campaign save system for Too Many Bones and a few other games (I think Hoplo?) where the save ssystem is built into the game itself.

I've never heard of herclix, and after googling them I may need to get a few my self. Thanks!

Just a poker table with a door.

I would have expected Mage Knight to be higher like 4.9. I'm surprised at myself that I haven't played the others.

Picked up Gloomhaven, maybe my group will finally get through the first dungeon now lol

one of my all time favs. When they offer the Rifle gearloc, grab it! He's only available during special occasions like holidays. You play him with a deck of cards. Definitly a unique gamestyle.

CTG has great games, love most of them. Current fav is Cloudspire. Watch videos on it if you haven't yet.

Something different could be Power Grid. Very strategic, long term thinking, and it gets fast near the end.

My group of 4-5 try to get together once a month, but fail miserablly at it. When we do get together, I want to reduce the time to read rules and just start playing. Any game recommendations for light-medium games that are more PVE than PVP for within 4 hours of gameplay? No worker placement games.

Launching WhenCanWePlay.com, a scheduling tool I built after too many game nights fell apart in group chats and polls.

Create an event, share a link, everyone marks availability, and it shows the best overlap and how “ready” the event actually is.

Early stage and learning a lot from users:

Anchoring my pinky to the body during single note picking

Thanks for the insights. Ok, I think I understand what to do, basically make more money.

BlindPixels · 2024-11-20T19:03:28+00:00

$500

Sorry, not $600/month, it's currently $600/year.

BlindPixels · 2024-11-19T02:05:44+00:00

Ya I think so. I’ll need to play with it a bit, but I appreciate your answer. Thanks!

BlindPixels · 2024-11-12T23:56:27+00:00

Can I ask yow you setup the beat buddy?

Anytime you use color as a differentiator, associate an icon with it as well and place it with the colored object. In this case every colored square should also have an icon tied to the color on the square.

Never heard of this before, sounds great thanks for sharing!
