Re: Games you are playing
I only played one game of Star Realms but I liked it, I'll gladly play another one when I have the chance! Bang! takes me back, I played quite a few rounds of it when I was a teenager — simple but definitely fun (especially if you're with players who like to put on a show when playing). The expansion pack with the events and characters is worth it. I was considering getting Hanabi, but that was at a time when I was playing less so getting another card game didn't seem worth it… I'd gladly try it though.
My brother and I still have a chest full of board and card games in my parents' house, including some very old ones my dad bought. But we mostly end up playing the same ones, there are several we only tried once. There are cafés where you can play games, I've never been to one but it sounds like a good idea.

Re: Games you are playing
Board game cafes are expemsive but amazing for trying out expensive games you're on the fence about before you buy them.
I'll check out the expansion for Bang!, that sounds like it could breathe some life back in to it for us, thanks!
My favorite old game is The A-maze-ing Labyrinth, for kids but is still extremely cool. Also used to play the classics like Catan and Risk a lot, but don't enjoy them more than once a year or so, there's just better designed games that scratch the same itch.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate
Haven't touched a Smash game since the Gamecube version, been really enjoying the World of Light mode on Hard. The downside is that I suspect that I will have picked up bad habits from some of these set fights. So far it looks like that I've dealt with the majority of the map with around 40 characters unlocked. Of note:
- Captain Falcon feels like he barely changed from what I remember, which is good for me.
- Mario, Link, and Fox feel slightly different than what I remember them playing like
- Been really enjoying Little Mac, Mii Swordfighter, and Wii Fit Trainer
- I've lost the ability to effectively use Marth
Just recently unlocked Shulk and am looking forward to using him in the future. I've also unlocked Mega Man, but am still not used to his move set yet.

Re: Games you are playing
I'm loving Pit and Dark Pit in this one, but my main man Ness isn't feeling quite right for me yet. Still, maining Pit got me replaying Kid Icarus: Uprising, which is charming and fun and really hitting the spot right now.
I wish I could play Smash all the time, but don't have my own Switch yet.

I played Agricola with my parents.

Re: Games you are playing
I got... a ton of Switch games for Christmas. So I've been playing those, the thing finally gets to see some use after so much neglect. I got The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Octopath Traveler and Kirby: Star Allies. I also got a gift voucher, which I might spend on another switch game maybe.
Also, space man is cool but we all know who the real star of that event is:
I destroyed my spark just to get her newly released SR >_>

Re: Games you are playing
My friends have way more board games than I. Smash Up! and Betrayal in the House on the Hill are most prominient for me right now.

I see somebody (dev or localization team) had fun in Octopath Traveler during Olberic's Chapter 2... Was using Alfyn's Inquire on a NPC and got this:
Re: Games you are playing
Anybody else participating in Global Game Jame this weekend? 48 hours to make a video game with some of my friends. I'll be doing art and music, and my two code monkey buddies will be making the magic happen. Our local event is being held at a college campus, where my friends and I are going to camp out at all weekend, slumber party style.
We participated 3 years ago, but we've all been too busy for the last couple years, so I'm very excited to see how far we've come since then. We each have a degree in a relevant field now, so that's cool. I can't wait!

Re: Games you are playing
Good luck, I wish I was close with programmers.
Recently I've been playing Ace Combat 7. It's the best one since the ps2 era.
With this, Tekken 7, and Soul Calibur 6, Namco has really gotten back in the game.

Re: Games you are playing
Before EOX dropped unexpectedly (to me, because derp), I was playing Vampyr and Moonlighter on PS4, with some intermittent Monster Hunter World.
Octopath is really fun, and very beautiful. But the way the game is laid out and how the characters don't really interact the way I expected them to... I can't say it was my favorite RPG that year. That title goes to Dragon Quest XI for me.
In terms of board games, I love that Haunted House on the Hill game- I don't know the actual name of it, but it's really fun. My husband picked up a Kaijuu board game and wants to have a get-together with a couple buddies to try it out. It looks fun :3.

Re: Games you are playing
I've heard both good and bad things about Haunting but haven't tried it despite it being such a classic. I think I'd personally like it but might have trouble getting any of my groups to play it enough to buy it. Did your husband buy King of Tokyo/New York? I recently played one of them at a board game cafe, and it was a nice light dice chucker that I would play again if I got the chance.
And DQXI looks amazing, I might get it eventually. DQIX is one of my all-time favorites, and I'd love to sink my teeth into another DQ sometime, but EOX is going to keep me busy for a while at the rate I game these days.

Re: Games you are playing
No problem! And thank you for the board game recommendation, we'll look into it. At least I'm sure he will enjoy that King of New York with his buddies
