Yeah, I've tried most of the ones everyone is talking about but none of them have compared to Jerboa imo. I think people are too quick to look for alternatives. I'll still probably hop to Boost once it's out, just because that's what I used for reddit and I'm used to it. But Jerboa is pretty good.

I initially thought he was cool because of Tesla but I think when he called that cave rescue guy a pedo I lost any respect and I soon realised what an awful person he is.

How anyone could defend him these days is totally beyond me.

What is a "hand-free" game exactly?

[–] Nachorella@vlemmy.net 3 points 1 year ago

Scout looks really cool, and yes, we just play single rounds of rummikub (with a bunch of house rules and extra pieces to make it a bit faster and fun)

Hadn't seen this before but I've got another group I play with who really enjoy exploding kittens so I might have to grab this regardless. Thanks!

That sounds quite fun, I might give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion!

Same here, my one complaint aside from other small nitpicky things.

[–] Nachorella@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think I tried that actually, shall give it a go. I mostly just wanted to give Jerboa some love. It's fun trying the new ones but people seem to overlook it a bit.

Liftoff was really slow/buggy for me and I think searching for communities was hard

I'm on android but I've tried a bunch (connect, summit, wefwef, another I forget) but I think Jerboa is the best. Seems the most functional by far. Can't wait for boost, though.

Thanks, I haven't heard of Fluxx, shall check it out.

Thank you! I haven't heard of filler games before, should make my search a bit easier. I'll go through your list, too. I was wondering about the crew, I tried Cat in the Box but it didn't take because of the scoring.

I am wondering if anyone has suggestions that will fit my needs.

At work me and some work pals play a quick game or two of rummikub. This has been the reigning king of lunch for a while for a few reasons: it's quick, easy to learn if someone wants to join in, suits varying amounts of players, there's no scoring or need to write anything down, random enough that most people get a win every now and then, VERY quick set up, just grab tiles and go.

I like it but also like variety and am wondering if anyone has some suggestions that match some or all of these criteria. Just a quick replayable game that we can enjoy on our break and anyone can join in easily. I tried Azul but even that was a bit too much for most even though it's the slightest bump up in terms of setup and scoring.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Edit: So many excellent suggestions to try, thanks everyone!
