Exactly. Maybe I'm sounding awfully optimistic, but I actually enjoy the slow pace here. Posts can be 1 week old and there are still comments popping up after a while. It also makes interactions more meaningful in a way.

I played Spirit Island for the first time on Tabletop Simulator and it felt kinda cluttered and too hard to anticipate what happens next. But playing it at a real table with all the little pieces was completely different. We played many times with 4 players since and added the expansions only after a while. The base game is completely fine in my opinion and doesn't feel incomplete.

I didn't really get into AH LCG. I only played it in TTS and felt like I had little control over the game. There were so many random elements that could affect all subsequent games that we abandoned it in frustration. And isn't the price much higher with all the campaigns than SI?

That's a nice collection you got there. Many classics and a quite heavy game like Root.

And despite it's simplicity, '6 Nimmt' is also great, especially with higher player counts.

Your keyboard seems to be drunk. Still upvoted

Maybe a little bit too easy for your 12 yo, but still worth a try:

  • Stuffed Fables is a coop adventure game for kids where you have to make decisions together and talk about your feelings

  • Zombie Teenz Evolution is an easy and fast legacy coop game where more rules and mechanics are slowly added over time

No, people still have their opinions. And it's not surprising that the general opinion towards Reddit is not positive here since many feel not valued by the Reddit leadership.

Think of it like a free ride on a train sponsored by Reddit that records every move and conversation of passengers (users) and offering paid drinks (rewards). There are unpaid conductors and ticket inspectors (mods) who are stripped of many tools for their job. And passengers will no longer be able to choose between preferred seats or book a handicap accessible option (3rd party apps). Why should everyone continue as before when conditions are dictated unilaterally? Without us, the trains would be empty and no one would buy any drinks or look at the billboards. If you are happy with your uncomfortable assigned seat (official app) and the conductors are willing to compensate for the lack of tools with extra work, enjoy the ride on. However, I do not presume to be able to decide for the latter.

Exactly the same thing happened to me over at r/idiotsincars.

Normally, everyone there criticizes any driver who makes even a small mistake, but when I commented that the "victim driver" was speeding themselves to block someone illegally passing him, they just fell over me, ripped parts of my comments out of context and downvoted me into oblivion. They even accused me of having some kind of agenda just because I wrongly assumed the signs were showing km/h, like the dashcam, and not mph. He was briefly doing 95 km/h in a 40 mph zone. I argued it doesn't matter if it's 40 km/h or 65 km/h at that point.

I deleted all my comments and unsubscribed from that sub instantly, not a big deal. But from then on, I was so much more hesitant commenting anything. That was almost a year ago and I'm still shocked at what random hate and insinuations can do to you.

Let's hope something like that doesn't spill over here.
