Yeah, I’ve tried most of the ones everyone is talking about but none of them have compared to Jerboa imo. I think people are too quick to look for alternatives. I’ll still probably hop to Boost once it’s out, just because that’s what I used for reddit and I’m used to it. But Jerboa is pretty good.

What is a “hand-free” game exactly?

Scout looks really cool, and yes, we just play single rounds of rummikub (with a bunch of house rules and extra pieces to make it a bit faster and fun)

Hadn’t seen this before but I’ve got another group I play with who really enjoy exploding kittens so I might have to grab this regardless. Thanks!

That sounds quite fun, I might give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks, I haven’t heard of Fluxx, shall check it out.

Thank you! I haven’t heard of filler games before, should make my search a bit easier. I’ll go through your list, too. I was wondering about the crew, I tried Cat in the Box but it didn’t take because of the scoring.

Same, I loved boost, have got the boost for Lemmy preload on my phone already.

Part of the fun of Lemmy is it can be as big or small as you like. Just find a smaller instance that blocks any of the big places if that ends up happening.

I kind of don’t think it’s that weird. I grew up with computers and I use one for work in a technical field where understanding them helps. But I also barely use one anymore other than for work or the odd game. People who grew up on phones and want to develop for phones or consoles might never have needed to use a computer but can still be interested in computer science.

I don’t actually know but maybe it has to do with high humidity favoring less clothing so your sweat helps cool you more effectively? Or perhaps the higher ease in finding shade in the tropics.
