Board Game Arena

I'm looking for some recommendations for 'party' board games for adults?

Thanks

I’ve noticed an issue with how abandoned games are handled in tournaments. If a game isn’t finished before the next round, the win is awarded to the player with the most remaining thinking time. Since I’m in a different time zone from most players, I often lose 15+ points in 4-5 player tournaments, ...

I’ve noticed that some players seem quick to concede when the game isn’t going their way — it’s pretty frustrating, especially when I’m finally getting the tiles/cards to fall just right. Don’t get me wrong; I understand that conceding can be a strategic decision. Sometimes it’s clear that a win isn...

Thanks
