Tow classics in our round of 5 players on Saturday night:

5-minute Dungeon: Utter chaos. But extremely cathartic with 5 lads who just watched their favorite football club lose 4:0.

Ticket to Ride: Europe: A classic. We've played it before with 4 out of the 5 players attending and had a lot of fun. But it was completely the wrong game for the occasion this time. I guess reading the room/group is an important part of picking the right game.

Oh! What happened during Ticket to Ride? Just a lot of frustration?

It was just too slow of a game for the occasion. We've all had a couple of beers and explaining the game to one of the four, while reminding the other 3 how to play and also having played a very active/loud game before, was just a bit of a buzzkill. I realized that when the others had a hard time following what was happening and who's turn it was and so on. Just a bad pick for the night I guess.
