Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it. A day with no analyzed records counts as zero; missing coverage is marked and never shown as zero. The series ends at the latest complete analyzed day — it never extends into the current incomplete day. How attention is measured.

Best with 3, fine with 4, don't bother with 5 player or more. I think it's fine. Many paths to victory as the world burns around them sorta thing. Coop but you are all trying to be first. Someone can just throw away their hard work and push the npc faction to win. Brutal in 4 player but it seems to be the sweet spot in allowing that. In a 3rd player game someone helping the npc faction is too much to overcome or the players don't have enough power to get ahead in points in a 5 player game. Just blends alot of game designs and I honestly don't mind it. There is an aspect it is just too send doods to fix the problems for me but I am quite picky with board games. I own it and am planning to get the expansions for it expecting good game nights in the future.

4-5 is the best player count. 3 is decent 1-2 is pretty bad imo

Our take is that a round immediately ends (even with unresolved actions or modifiers) when the 7th number card is drawn. Much like on a draw 3, you don't have to draw all three. As you said, the bloody game is flip 7. Kindof the fun part though is, house rules, if you want, can have you resolve that card if you really wanted to.

Love Letter and 7 wonders are both great with 3. 7 wonders doesn't really change at all either.

That is good. That also means he would probably be open to some of the other strategies people are mentioning because it sounds like he genuinely wants you both to be having a good time. I agree with seeing if there are ways of playing with handicaps. It is more fun to start from a disadvantage and be able to play your best than to feel like you sometimes need to "take it easy." In terms of handling the losses, it sounds like generally you are a good sport but are afraid the frustration might grow in the future. That is great self awareness, and good to communicate whenever you do bring up these ideas. Ine thing for yourself might be setting specific goals that can move you along. For example if you played chess and he was was way better you could track now many pieces you are able to take before he wins. If this month he is defeating you before you can even take 3 of his pieces and next month you are regularly taking 5 and the following month regularly taking 8 then you can feel the progression even if the binary win/lose isnt changing. One last very easy handicap might be giving him a time crunch like in timed chess where he has to decide on his moves quickly whereas you are allowed to think about yours more. Though that might also make him frustrated.
