It's "in development", but it's definitely a thing:

It's a fun deck building game and I'm not sure why your loss ratio is so bad. Some skill is involved in adding the correct cards to your deck but much of it is random in how your deck is shuffled. I usually find myself doing well when I add gold treasure cards to my hand whenever I can afford it.

What else?
While not me, when we had English neighbors years ago, the wife (the English couple) told me a funny tale of her younger sister throwing a thousand page dictionary at her, and her dodging it, and their mother seeing it and giving her, the younger sister, a smack (different times) and a time out. I thought that was fairly normal. Which was my reply to her after she'd finished her story.
So, in a US v UK players game would it be Color or Colour?
That depends on where the game is played.
Lots of disputes can be settle by agreeing upon a single dictionary, and having said dictionary at the table, before game play starts.
I would refuse to play with family under any other condition. Kids love to used d'em new portmanteau that the old man has never heard before. Bromance?
Chillax? Frankenfood? Guyliner? And they get mad when I use Southern words like, ay'ite (all right) and yumptu (you want to).Terra icognita, obviously

No worries, pretty soon scrabble will be just emoticons or - as they call ‘em now - emoji.
UK spelling of course! After all it's called the English, not the American languageSo, in a US v UK players game would it be Color or Colour?

I'd just assume you'd have been dyslexic if I saw those words.Lots of disputes can be settle by agreeing upon a single dictionary, and having said dictionary at the table, before game play starts.

By the way I am which is why scrabble is a particular challenge for me.
The thing to remember is that I haven't played Scrabble in years. And back then, dictionaries were massive and the sheets thinner than parchment. I think people in general are lucky these days due to smartphones.Lots of disputes can be settle by agreeing upon a single dictionary, and having said dictionary at the table, before game play starts.

Er, no; I beg to differ. Monopoly is not "boring", but there is an argument for saying that the instincts and impulses it promotes are less than altruistic. Meanwhile, Scrabble is evil and brilliant.
Evil? Do tell. I find it benign, though admit an ex-girlfriend and I occasionally played. She hated games because she was hyper-competitive. Our solution: we made it into a cooperative game by only tallying our combined total score to see how high we could go. It worked slightly better than the relationship itself. Edit: come to think of it, I tend to play that particular game better than those in my circles and find myself “playing down” a lot. Not so fun for me (and disingenuous) and likely not fun for others.
Played Monopoly as a kid and enjoyed it with family well enough but don’t care for it now. A few years ago I downloaded the app version and being able to play AI with whom I don’t take into consideration how I value the opponent made the game both more relaxing and less compelling. I don’t enjoy games that seem to serve as passive-aggressive social tools; then again I’ve grown stodgy. Did play the Star Wars version with a friend and his ten year-old earlier this year. Since we adults were non-competitive and the boy loves being the banker and explaining rules we had fun knocking the odd choices in adapting the movie to this cash grab format.
I recently purchased the app version of Tsuro after having played it with some acquaintances last year. The game is cool but the interface a little clunky at start of each game.
We used to play mahjong but as a whole family we’d play the card game named 24. Not only was it crazy fun, it built excellent math skills and quick reasoning.
As a teen and into my 20’s friends and I would play (single deck) pinochle! By far my favorite card game to this day.

Anyone here ever play "Cards Against Humanity"? I was introduced to it this sultry evening for the first time ever, and must say that it was a most enjoyable evening.
No but I have to say I was intrigued when I read about it in the other thread.
Can you explain what it is?
Finally ordered Elder Sign, I mean just in the past few minutes, delivery this Saturday Was _so_ tempted to go ahead and score a expansion or two, but it's always good to get your head about the base game.
So Cinco de Mayo will be filled with delicious food and beverages ... plus saving humanity from Lovecraftian horrors

Oh, yes, heh. We’ve had some fun times with that one too.
