I'll be there!

Wow :/

Spooky!

Exclusively! :) and ziggy

Hues and Cues. It felt more like an activity than a game, and something about it just grinds my gears. It didn't help that I happened to have a bad day prior to playing it last time.

They're also really good :)

My partner routinely thrashes me in Ark Nova... and everything else! 🤣

Yeah, that's just wild.

I think DnD is average for both learnability and storytelling, but I haven't found a replacement. The only TTRPG I played that I felt was far better at storytelling was also far worse at learnability.

Ark Nova rose to our #1 pretty much immediately!
