Not gonna lie, pretty jealous.
Before the reprint this thing was pretty hard to find.
How'd you like it? Was there a lot of downtime between turns? Did you find you were able to build/show the attractions you wanted to with a decent amount of work, or was it more finding stuff to match what you
could
do?

Have you played any of the Co-op with a defector games?
I have friends who aren't keen on the co-op part but will play defector games for the paranoia/tension/chance to feed someone else to the zombies.
And I gotta say, if you're after the "one person doing a dance" feeling,
betraying
a whole table of people and watching their faces as they lose is the best dance.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who cringes whenever this thread goes on about how either of these is great.
We like Sushi Go (and Sushi Go Party). Fun little card game that has a ton of replayability.
7 Wonders (and Duel) are both great games for different size crowds.
I bought Alicia Sushi Go Party as part of her birthday present. She absolutely loves it, and I like how customizable it is. There's a ton of different ways to play and it feels like a bit of a different game if you mix the menus. I would be cool with playing regular 7 wonders but Duel is the only one i'd consider buying(also with the Pantheon exp)
I forgot, I had played Shadows over Camelot at a game night, and that IS pretty fun, but the 1st time our traitor joined late, and the second time our traitor was the only new player at the table so didn't get to be particularly traitorous. I've also played Betrayal at House on the Hill and Mysterium. For whatever, reason I forgot both of these, but at least with Mysterium and Shadows, I'm just never really gonna have enough people to play those games to their full compacity(both basically need 5-7). Betrayal played pretty fine with 4, so It'd probably be more in the realm of possibility. Betrayal was neat, but obviously less serious. Mysterium I really enjoyed cause imo, it is just strictly better than dixit(which, again imo, is strictly better than every other form of that apples to apples style game). Elder Sign in another, but i'm not a big c'thulu guy, and it was mostly unmemorable, tbh(aside from me being the dog guy and I had to sacrifice poor Duke). We won pretty easy, despite it supposedly being fairly difficult, again the theme didn't really do it for me, and i've played funner Yahtzee style games.
I loved Colosseum man. I got to play on a kickstarted version of the reprint, and the production value was wonderful. I felt that the downtime was very little, because of how the game is designed. The choices for your the first phase of the a round are pretty simple, buy some shit, roll the dice, move the mans, next player. That moves directly into an auction phase, which is obviously interactive, and then the trade phase, which is again interactive. I felt that, I *mostly* was able to make actions that were at least semi-desirable, with obviously a little changes of plan based on what bigger shows other people purchased(people can't purchase the same show from the show menu). So with a large portion of the game being interactive, you're never waiting around, dick in hand, for your turn. I really REALLY like this game man. I think it's my favorite, and I'm definitely pre-ordering the non-kickstarter reprint. I think it's been pushed back until Q3 of this year for retail.

I'm a big fan of Spector Ops, but I know a lot of people aren't.
I think this Saturday I might finally get to try Captain Sonar. Me and a few other people have been wanting to play it, the problem is being able to get 8 people together.
I've looked into Letters at Whitechapel and there seemed to be a bit of excitement to that. Specter Ops is possibly also an easy sell. Fury of Dracula was a hard no because it takes fucking 4 hours.
Please let me know how Captain Sonor turns out. I've been dying to play it. Have you thought about just trying the 4 player varient?
