Do you have a fave?

Dungeons and Dragons! I also really enjoy rare sessions of Carcassonne, and recently I've played Saboteur and liked it :)

Oh nice, Carcassonne is a classic, although I've not played Saboteur before. Also haven't played too much official d&d, but I've played many d&d offshoots of sorts such as 13th age and pathfinder. Personally I'm a big fan of Quacks, Root, and Fabula Ultima, although sadly I don't get to play as often as I'd like.

I'm yet to try Pathfinder, though I've installed Wrath of the Righteous yesterday and so far I like it! Root, I like the art style, and I've never heard of the rest, I'll have to google them :)

Root's art style is adorable and one of the reasons I love the game, but underneath the gameplay is vicious. Quacks is kind of like a deckbuilding game, but instead of building a deck, you're building a bag of ingredients while trying to brew the best potions. Fabula Ultima is very inspired by jrpgs like final fantasy, but in a ttrpg format, very video gamey if you want it to be.

Quacks seems to be more to my liking, I have to try it! Thanks for the recommendation :)

It’s very fun, a great choice with some deck building gambling vibes
