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.

In order to get good recommendations you're going to need to provide additional information. How many people are playing? How complex can a game be? What games have you tried and loved? Is there a favorite mechanism? What is the game duration you're going for? 10 min? 30? 3 hours? What's your budget?

Generic recommendations based on my library:

  • Just One - Favorite party game

  • Brass Birmingham - My favorite; Beware it's quite complex and lasts around 3 hours

  • Blood Rage - Cool dude's on a map game with very nice minis

  • Turing Machine - Good puzzle game

  • Slay The Spire - If you love slay the spire, you'll love cooperative slay the spire as well

  • Menara - Favorite dexterity game

We've really enjoyed playing Slay The Spire on Tabletop Simulator. It's really fun to try and combine your abilites for the best results. And the roguelite makes it fun to play over and over again, just like the pc game. I would have already bought the physical game if it wasn't around 150€ here

I didn't think anyone else knew about Menara. It's so good, and no other game has made me laugh that hard.

It's definitely an underrated game!!
