Like the title! For someone getting into board games, what would you recommend? Bonus points if it is or can be played cooperatively, with 2 players, and double bonus points if it has a sci-fi theme (like, grand sci-fi), though the previous points are more important.
What do you like to play? Arcs and Earthborne Rangers both look cool to me, but wanted to ask here too! Anyone have experience with those two?
Op here is a tip Get whichever is cheapest and slowly build a collection Board games can get really repetitive if you don’t have variety I would recommend secret Hitler, really simple premise and rulesets
this. also most simple boardgames you can just print yourself no need to buy especially card games. although if you don’t own a printer yourself i doubt it’ll be cheaper but it’s a good option if you’re living somewhere without access to novelty game stores.
Also ttrpgs can scratch this itch but they require more effort to get into
