Happy scumday thesp!
7 wonders is one of my favorites, we play with both the leaders and cities expansions. Also I caved and bought the app that calculates scores for you, super handy.

not sure if I should hold out or pick up something else.
Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective might be similarly suited?

I also started playing Detective: City of Angels recently and I really really love it (although it’s a bit on the expensive side). I play through the cases solo first and then run them against my friends in a GM kind of role. The cases are pretty cool and I enjoy bamboozling my friends.

I haven’t actually played, I just remember the description being similar to the Whitehall game
brass
shafted mentioned. It’s on my bucket list though the DCOA game I mentioned is also probably along the same lines but clocks in at $90 for the base game so I didn’t think it was worth suggesting.

just fyi, there are mods for gloomhaven on tabletop simulator that let you play it online for free (free if you already have tts, otherwise however much tts costs - I bought it for under $10 I think)

meh. I think it’s one of those games where if you’ve played it once, you’ve basically gotten all the gameplay out of it that you’re going to get. Playing it again is just more of the same. It’s also one of those games that I think are meant to entice non-board gamers towards board games because it’s easy and casual, but I feel like you could just pick a better game for that if you’re trying to introduce friends to board games. All around not my thing.

among my friend group, Machi Koro is the ultimate game of betrayal. I don't think it's intended to be that kind of game.... but it is for us. we've basically banned ourselves from playing it because of how much we betray each other. I like the game concept a lot though.

If you plan to buy Betrayal anyway and you know you’ll play it, I highly highly highly recommend the legacy version instead. Once you finish the legacy campaign, you’re left with a board that can be used to play regular games as well. (although now that I think about it, I’m not sure what haunts are included in the legacy general mode vs base game)

Looks like betrayal legacy isn’t available as part of the sale anyway. sad
Looking at the sale now as I’m probably also going to buy something (thanks for the heads up about the sale!). here are the games I’ve played before that are included in the sale that I enjoyed and fit 6 players:
Downforce (pretty light)
Evolution (I prefer the sister game Oceans but didn’t see it)
Games I saw in the sale that I think were recently mentioned in the thread and fit 6:
- Villainous
- 221B baker st

What do you mean by “huge,” physical size? It’s not that much bigger than the base game I think (don’t have a physical copy with me but I checked online, and I think the width and height are the same, but legacy version is like 4 inches longer)

We were supposed to play a bunch of Civ games and it happened once years ago. I think with Civ V, before Civ VI came out.
I'd also be down for MS group.
ah well, organizing the group is a whole different story.
