Yeah, I realize the mistake now. Nothing better than a board game with dice rolls to make you realize you hate your family

I've never heard of anyone who plays without a robber. Even Catan Jr has a pirate that blocks production.

I think OP's family might enjoy co-ops better if German economic eurogames are too combative for them.

Why not get pandemic or carcasonne or galaxy trucker or cosmic encounter or agricola or 7 wonders or splendor or machi koro or suburbia or ascension or sentinels of the multiverse or pictomania or hanabi or lanterns or mascarade or tokaido or coup or race for the galaxy or lost legacy or mysterium or oh hell or timeline or cash n guns or escape from the temple or ladies and gentlemen or witness or evolution

Our family loves being combative, and that's part of the problem. I think I'm just now starting to realize that they just secretly hate strategy. I'll be convincing them to play our more basic favorite card game from now on.

I never play with my family because I always have my girlfriend be the table. Gets real awkward if family's inolved.

I'm gonna need a scenario where having your girlfriend be the gaming table isn't awkward.

Do you

Catan?

I think you're family finds it mean because it allows the players to gang up on one other player.

I would recommend king of tokyo. It's combative and it's fair. You can't target a specific player since attack targets are dependent on positions and not choices.

There are way better ways to make everyone on the table have an awful time for 2 hours while they wait for someone to finish asking for a resource that no one has.
