No games that lead to players being pissed at other players, even outside of the confines of the game. I've had that happen with, for example, Secret Hitler, so no Secret Hitler.

The Mind seems to do that. Hanabi does it to an extent.

Mansions of Madness. It's my wife's new favorite game. The game has many different scenarios and they play out pretty differently each time. The game is almost all co-op, so it's players VS. the game. I was actually against the need for an app at first but it simplifies a lot and helps keep track of a lot of the mundane stuff.

I don't know how the game does it, but in so many sessions the last actions are so important. I have often won the game within the last possible action. Such a great feeling.

Going from "easy, everything is fine" to "everything on fire, NPCs dead, several Monsters" in two rounds. Then winning by a clever set oft actions, where several player habe to coordinate, is peak feeling oft accomplishment.

I see the app as the DM. Plus, you can tell it what expansions you own, and it includes it all when it makes the map — you can play the same scenario and get different layouts.

Yeah that's exactly it. It's also kind of nice that all the players are working together against the app, so no one has to DM or be the "bad guy".
