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.

   It's a quick game, fast to setup, fast to teach and fast to play. We have ~30 matches 1v1 with the wife and it's probably the version I enjoy the most. A round is 5-10 minutes and the game is over in under 30, last chancing becomes much more important and tactical, every card you discard is a card that the other person can get (and choosing the correct pile to 'block' something is important too) At 3 or 4 the game becomes less cutthroat, but still quite fun Small box and easy to carry is a big plus too

   Right? A post with "Cards remember and dice forget" would've made sense and driven discussion, now nobody's watching the video.

   I'm going to vote against Nightfall. It's a one-shot that I don't have much desire to play again. It delivers the core experience well enough, I enjoyed it overall, but it didnt stick with me. The combat has some depth and it's cool that you can do things on other people's turns....but there's a reason most games don't leave action economy up to bag draw. The game is fail-forward because replaying any fight reveals how luck-based it all is. We missed a sentence on a card and didn't upgrade our deck correctly until the last two scenarios. It wasn't too hard, we were just confused about the unopened card packs. Had to open 4+ boxes to check each scenario deck and find where we missed the instruction. The storage for the game is beautiful and thematic but deeply inconvenient, IMO. You only fight each enemy once, so there's no point in learning how they work. Beyond some generic positioning things that you'll learn over time, you're playing the same game on Fight 1 that you are on Fight 10. Pulling action chits out of a bag is fun theater in the room, I get why people like it. It's a popcorn action flick. It's a role-play-*light* intro to D&D for groups that might want that, I guess. The world building is fine but the character stuff is... uh...limited by what they can print on cards. If the other games have decent replay value and don't take up an entire Kallax cube, go with them.

   Looking for ideas of existing games that you can modify and publish as playable with a 52 card deck? Don't do that. For curiosity about games that can be played with 52 cards (or other games) though, yeah there are literally hundreds. Here's just one of many lists from BGG. There's quite a variety in the way folks frame the question, too e.g. this list is 'games that can be played with Sticheln' vs. 'a 52 card deck' vs 'poker deck' vs. 'cards and not much else'. Another one is, 'if you have this game, you also have this other game (or these other games)'. There are also endeavors to create the 'ultimate one deck to play all the games'. Some examples include the Rainbow Deck, The Everdeck, and The Badger deck. Sticheln / Stick 'em and Rage are two popular suggestions of readily available(?) decks that can be used to play many, many different games because they have 6 suits and numbers from 0-15 (Rage) or 18 (Sticheln). **Chimera and More** is another option, 6 suits, 0-12 and H in each suit, plus four unsuited Q cards, and two unique 'joker' cards. Awesome game that can be played with (part of) a poker deck? --> **Haggis**!
