A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Edit: it looks like the banner is incorrect. On the front page of steam it’s the right dates and says summer, but when I click on it to see all the sales it says spring with the dates for the spring sale. It’ll probably get fixed soon.

Can anyone recommend a game that can be played over zoom (preferably in a web browser) that isn’t:

Jackbox
What the Dub
Rifftrax the Game
Papa’s quiz
Use Your Words

Tic Tac Together is team-based recursive tic-tac-toe. When both teams try to claim the same square at the same time, they have to fight for it by playing a subgame. Or a subsubgame. Et cetera. It's surprisingly strategic. How much board control should you give up to secure a contested square?

I've heard good things about Sunderfolk but haven't played it myself. It has hex-grid tactical combat with co-op done via smartphone, so only the buyer of the game needs to share their screen.

I’ll check those out and thanks!
