Bonus question - What's your favorite massive-player-count game? How many people do you have that you'd conceivably want to play board games with?

I think my max is 5 for the gamer player count and 6 to 8 for the casual kind. My favourite to play with lots of people is definitely Argent or Kemet. Just pure chaos and variety clashing every which way.

But the dream game I wanna run is Danganronpa the card game. It plays up to 12 and its like Mafia/Werewolf with distinct differences akin to the videogame:

- Each student has an ability unique to danganronpa such as being able to protecc girls or extending discussion time by 3 more minutes

- There is no trial if there is no murder, but class discussions still occur.

- There is only 1 killer in the "mafia" faction. And his goal is a kill quota instead of the usual Mafia goal.

- Suicide is a viable move. If the killer gets away with killing himself, he can win.

- Each student is also armed with items that act similarly to the truth bullet skills in the videogame.

But alas, I don't know alot of people irl to make it really work. So it remains a nice game to just own and fawn at.

Bonus question - Which game for you had a steep learning curve that was mostly related to your entry-point in the hobby?

Our steep curve game WAS our entry point game. Arkham Horror. Our first game took twelve hours and we still played it wrong. 3 years and every expansion later, we wuz slayin' Cthulhu is 4 hours flat.

And then boardgames became a thing in our town soon after so we immediately jumped to heavy/medium things since.
