   My husband and I used to have the same problem. When I voiced my frustrations, he researched and added cooperative games to our options. Still challenging, but we win together or lose together against the games. The heavily pvp games that require sabotage (for me to actively ruin someone else's fun) to win, I will not play- he plays with his gamer buddies. Perhaps adding and/or alternating between your current games and some of these will help reduce the frustration. Here are a few of my favorites: Eldritch Horror Spirit Island Arkham Horror the lcg Marvel Champions the lcg Aeon's End Too Many Bones 7th Continent Tainted Grail Gloomhaven Cloudspire (has pvp and coop scenarios) Mage Knight (has pvp and coop scenarios) The Captain is Dead Stuffed Fables Crew Burgle Bros The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth Etherfields Then we have the games that are more "parallel play." I have to deal with my board, he has to deal with his. No sabotage, no direct conflict. Some options are: Splendor Segrada Castles of Burgundy Castles of Mad King Ludwig Terra Mystica Roll for the Galaxy Call to Adventure Ever dale Good luck!

   I'm always glad to see people enjoying Finspan, but I generally disagree when people say it's easier than the other "Span" games...I guess it *is* easier to learn the rules, but I find that managing your resources can be a lot more difficult so the decision-making space can be more challenging.

   I like solo mode Bananagrams for this. You just start with 21 tiles, try to make them a crossword, draw a new tile when you've finished and try to incorporate it. If you get really stuck you can dump a tile and get three to replace it to loosen things up a bit. If you're in a group everyone can join in and suggest things. I play this all the time. It's challenging without pressure. Basically a word puzzle.

   It is and it isn't. As an introvert (not to mention undiagnosed [at the time] ADHD, depression, and autism), it was certainly challenging. I also tried really hard to ensure that the game club would continue on after I graduated. I stepped back my senior year to let someone else be the president in hopes of continuity. But it pretty much disappeared as soon as I left. :/
