Best Games for 5 Players

[Sened]

Hi everybody, I looked on the forum using search but haven't found a thread on the subject.

It's actually all in the title : What are the games that are balanced to be played best by 5 players (similar to BGG's "best for XX" ranking) available on board game arena ?

Thanks in advance for your help !

Hm, there's a slight difference between the title question and the question in the post: A game that is best played with 5 players is not necessarily the same as the best game for 5 players to play... But, assuming you have a group of 5, and are looking for the best games to play:

My list, from best to acceptable:
7 Wonders, Colt Express, and Niagara. They all work well at 5 and tend to be "the more the merrier."
Hawaii and Tokaido also work well at 5, though they can get a little crowded.
I have a special place in my heart for Puerto Rico, as that was the game that introduced me to eurogaming. Slightly more boggy at 5 than at 4, but still enjoyable.
Lords of Xidit is good, but it gets difficult predicting what everyone else will do, and that is an issue with programming games.
Elfenland is OK, but it does bog down a bit at that number.

7Wonders, 6Nimmt, Colt Express, Incan Gold, Not Alone
Hanabi is most challenging with 5p, though it can get some time to be good enough to play a 5p Hanabi game.
IIRC, some competitive groups prefer Love Letter at 5p

A few people haven't mentioned. Legendary Inventors and Oh Hell are both really good at 5.

I second 6 nimmt as that is ideal at 5, Colt Express and Niagara as well.

Terra Mystica is also fun at 5 if you are into more serious games (and someone has premium).
