Depends on the game for me. Uno, Trouble and Cards Against Humanity always lead to a good time without fail in terms of gatherings. But then my extended family whips out that corny ass unfunny shit like Telestrations and What Do You Meme and then makes me wish I was an orphan so I wouldn’t have to stay through these damn accursed dinners.
@GREENELYSIUM lowkey What do you Meme is so funny when u think of it in an ironic context like its so cringey in such a beautiful way...
there are so many games and so many social variables that it can truly be a terrifying and uncomfortable experience. i prefer playing games with close friends, especially collaborative games that are about working together to solve problems rather than competing. that way no one can be mad at me and we can help each other out (ie i don’t have to remember all the rules)
i hate them cus i literally cannot pay attention to the rules, i like to play and figure it out as i go - video games are amazing for me, board games are trash
It has been interesting seeing all these niche tabletop games become hobbies for people. I enjoy the classics like Monopoly and stuff, i can’t deal with Secret Hitler
i used to hate board games for a lot of the same reasons and it really makes a difference when you have a group who is more concerned with comfort and experience instead of winning or trying to perform. a couple of my friends put me on board games by 1) being really good at explaining rules to my pea sized brain, 2) choosing games they know the whole group would enjoy, and 3) just making it a safe and comfortable experience, ya know? i would still prefer to chat and/or do a puzzle but now i feel a little more comfortable saying yes to a game (especially bc its a nice way of getting off my phone too).
knitzsche I definitely suffer a lot less when it’s people I know, but… it’s just not for me. I’m okay with backgammon.
