   Played it on friday with the marine world extension for the first time. I like it, but it took forever with the new rules, and the unpacking. Also a bit offtopic, I just realized that 方舟 is an ark, it's the same characters as in Arknights.

   Friday I enjoy as it easy to set up, uses little table space, and is solo. I have not played it in a while but I do believe you can adjust the difficulty. As far as "pressure" goes, its hard to understand what your limits on those mechanics are, if you want them reduced or absent. Games are typically defined as presenting a challenge for players and have a set of rules that the player plays within. The list of things you are trying to avoid are probably present in just about every boardgame, having at least one of those. I would also consider finding a game you like that has the ability to adjust its difficulty, whether it is in the rules or you homebrew something to do so. Changing the difficulty can reduce the "pressure" to win and maybe make it more relaxing.

   Friday was not only one of my first modern boardgame purchases, but one that still hits the table almost once a month 15 years later.

   It's probably Friday. Though truth be told I don't like many of his games at all.

   Hosting a board game night for 10–12 people, mostly beginners. What should I play? - Hey everyone! I am going to host a game night for my research lab this Friday and would like some advice on game selection. It is an ecology lab, and around 10–12 people will be coming. Most of them have only played simple, casual board games. My goal is to introduce them to what modern board games have to offer. I am planning to start with **Codenames**, since it is easy to explain and accommodates a large group. We can play it while waiting for everyone to arrive. I was also thinking of hosting **Blood on the Clocktower**, as it is my go-to game for a group this size. I think it would be a lot of fun with this group, but it would probably take up most of our time, and we wouldn't get to try many other games. The other option is to play a variety of smaller games, but then we would have to split people into smaller groups, which I some people might not like. Some games I was considering are Flip 7, Coup, Dixit, High Society, Sushi Go!, Can't Stop, The Crew, Camel Up, Ticket to Ride, Castle Combo, Century, Truck Off, and Red Cathedral. I have access to around 100–150 games on campus, so there are plenty of options! What would you suggest? Should I stick to Blood on the Clocktower or try to fit in a variety of smaller games? Are there any other games you'd recommend for this kind of group?
