Clue: Master Detective is vastly superior to regular Clue

There's better balance between the who, the what, and the where. (Though I still don't know why we're so incompetent we can't tell the difference between strangulation and gunshot wounds.)

I spent a ridiculous sum buying a copy of Master Detective used, because it was out of print.

I'm both pleased and perturbed to note that it's now back in print. So, um, buy yourself a copy?

Uno is a good one. I played Apples to Apples too much, and I don't mind the occasional game but I don't want to own it. Which is a shame, because it's basically ideal in these situations.

We have bananagrams, but ironically the non gamer trounced everyone else so hard, every time, that eventually it stopped being fun for the rest of us and we wanted something else.

I've bought a picture matching game (dobble) that I'm hopeful about if this happens again. But I'll consider that variant on clue as well if I know this couple is coming over.

Dobble - which is sold in the US as Spot It! - is pretty easy/fun to learn, and also good for non-gamers.

Yay!
