Skulls and Roses, now more commonly found as Skull, is a simple and elegant bluffing game with beautiful art, described in universe as a game the author discovered travelling with biker gangs - the original art was inspired after their tattoos. Players start with 3 Roses and 1 Skull, which they lay face down in front of them, while bidding on how many of these face down cards they can flip without revealing a skull. Reveal a skull, lose one of your cards, and the first person to win two bids wins the game. It's so simple that if you are ever stuck somewhere with friends and nothing to do you can easily reproduce the game (if not the art) with a deck of cards, or beer mats and a pen.
It's one of my favourites, but I mostly picked it because it features skulls, cos, y'know...
I didn't even mean to pagetop.

Day 2
I may have struggled to find a good photo but
Cosmic Encounter is one of my favourite boardgames, as I've already established. In it you take control of one of dozens of wacky alien races vying to be the first to five foreign colonies. But there is a catch, which player you'll have an encounter with on your turn is random. You have to navigate destiny, game altering alien powers that are intentionally unbalanced, and a system of alliances to let you fight back against (or stops you benefiting from) that imbalance to fight your way to victory.

Man reading this game is bringing back deeply repressed memories of playing with Shelly years ago that I didn't even know I remembered.
@pooky you hard defend people a lot or is it just a ydrasse thing because of whatevers going on between you two? Also do you have a read on ydrasse yet

I'd probably only hard-defend Ydrasse and maybe a few others but I'd like to think I'd do it for other people as well but I'd probably be more apathetic.
I don't think she's scum because her reaction to shelly doesn't make a lot of sense if she's scum in this game, that might also not be very objective because I'm an idiot about Ydrasse unfortunately <3.
TGP's flip should indicate the wagon was heavily scum-driven - I think that's more likely in the scenario that Ydrasse is town rather than mafia as there's no reason for mafia to want to escalate Ydra/Shelly if it was T/S.

i didn't draw that conclusion about TGP's flip.
I'm guessing there's some weird rules in this game where scum can kill their teammates? or a vig i guess, but less likely...
No-elim then?

if no-elim i think the only players that would be bold enough to do that on day one would be flav
otherwise we have somesort of town role but not doc. since a scum doc is confirmed it has to be somethign else.
