Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.
Rules:
- Play nicely with others here.
- Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
- Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

My group has been hijacked by someone who, against my advice, bought Gloomhaven and now we're required to play it whenever we get together. I have no problem with Gloomhaven but the other 3 are relative newbies to the modern board game scene so every time we play I have to explain the same things and setup takes a year and each game lasts all night.
Please let's just do Cosmic Encounter again or any of these new games I've bought and are still in the wrapping! Then you can get out of my house before 1 am next time!
You should bring it up to the group, maybe others feel the same way? There's plenty of days to play both gloomhaven and other games
I have, they all love it for some bizarre reason. It sounds like I'm complaining, and I am, but only a bit. Playing a game you only half enjoy with friends is still better than not doing it at all.
Weird. Yeah still worth it
