You could try BoardGameArena or if you have Steam and don't mind dropping $10 or so, pick up Table Top Simulator. With TTS, you can download a bunch of fan-made (and sometimes publisher-made) digital recreations of popular games.

I'd also say to check out some of the bigger board game review Youtubers and just watch a mixture of their videos. Some games will appeal and others you'll bounce off of just hearing about the idea of them. Some of my favorites are:

* Shut Up & Sit Down

* Actualol

* Three Minute Board Games

* Dice Tower

* GameBoyGeek


Oh man, Letters from Whitechapel is so good. You either squirm for 40 minutes while dancing around the investigators as Jack with a devilish gleam in your eye or you get to play a super interesting deduction game of whack-a-mole searching for Jack.


Playing Jack is my favorite way to play; I love all the double think and laying down false trails. Sowing plausible deniability is a lot of fun!


Hive Pocket is maybe the best "play it on an airplane tray table" game around.

Don't listen to these people saying to buy a monitor. Look at Sceptre TVs. They sell dumb panel TVs and they are great.


It shouldn't be showing ads at all, ever while in a car regardless of whether the car is moving or not.

Maybe these ads are part of the reason every third stoplight I have to honk my horn because the guy ahead of me is dicking around on his phone after it turns green?


old.protonmail.com is the way to go with ProtonMail's UI. Their new UI is a mess and not configurable. In old. you get a place to write your own CSS to configure the UI as you see fit.


Check out Sceptre. Bought a completely dumb panel and it's been great.


I don't know if the -a and -aga spell names are more canon or not, but I hate them. Fire 1, Fire 2, and Fire 3 are much more intuitive and better looking than Fire, Fira, Firaga. When I'm quickly scanning through my spell list looking for something during a pitched battle, the numbers make finding what I'm looking for much easier/quicker.

It's incredibly petty, but I wouldn't play this translation for this single reason alone.


I just wish the Pixel remasters would release on an actual console. Shame to play these things on a phone.


They're on PC on Steam, no need to play them on a phone!
