These aren’t browser games, but could still be fun.

I used to play Battle for Wesnoth a lot as a kid, both with my dad and by myself, and as it’s turn-based it should run fine on a raspberry pi.

OpenTTD could be fun, although it may be a little complicated depending on how old they are. It’s not very difficult in terms of challenge though, it’s more of a sandbox once you get past a certain point. There’s also sandbox options to give yourself lots of money if you didn’t want to worry about money and just build cool trains and stuff.

I used to play a lot of Supreme Commander with my dad as well, so maybe something similar like Beyond All Reason or ZeroK could work if they take an interest to that kind of game. I haven’t tried them though.

I use getemoji.com out of habit but there is some emoji picker that comes with Plasma or is integrated into it I believe.

Tuesday:

Startups: Nice quick game

Coup: Pretty nice quick game, we’ve played it quite a bit though but it can still be fun.

Labyrinth: A pretty cool game about trying to find treasure in a shifting maze. You move the tiles around as you play so all the paths and items change. Pretty fun game although it can get a little slow if you’re unlucky.

Sea Salt & Paper: Quick game, pretty fun.

Wormholes: The main big game, about delivering space cargo. You make wormholes to travel around faster. Pretty cool game, although we played with a couple weird rules since they didn’t read the rulebook properly lol. It was still pretty fun.

Friday:

Scythe: This game is great. I played it once before and it seemed pretty complicated, but after playing it a second time I’ve started to plan out strategies for it because I played pretty inefficiently the last two games. Really fun game.

Flotsam Fight: We played one round of this and were kinda confused about the rules and strategy. We’ll have to play again sometime.

Parcheesi: A basic simple party game, but there were some pretty crazy moments and it was pretty fun.

Bro Scythe is crazy

Yep, https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Linux_kernel. I use config.boot.zfs.package.latestCompatibleLinuxPackages since I use ZFS.

Tuesday:

Coup - Quick game while waiting for people to arrive, it’s pretty good but we’ve played it so much that it’s gotten a bit samey.

ALIEN: Fate of the Nostromo - A game based on the Alien movie, it was cooperative and kinda cool. The issue was we were trying to move everybody to the same space, but people kept drawing a card that sent them to a different place and so we spent like half the time just sitting in the Galley while waiting for the other people to move there. And we should have made more items in the beginning. Pretty cool but I was pretty ready for it to be over because of that one card and we had lost a ton of health in the beginning so we were pretty doomed.

Horrified - A lot of similarities to ALIEN, except it was better imo. Instead of just one monster there were three, with cool objectives in order to defeat them. The map was smaller so you usually didn’t have to spend your entire turn just moving. Items were pretty cool and doubled as a form of health. NPC villagers you had to save from the monsters were also pretty cool. Might have to try ALIEN again but this just seems better after playing both for the first time.

Friday:

7 Wonders Architect - Like 7 Wonders but simpler. Was pretty fun, got rid of some complexity that was kinda weird in 7 Wonders, and we had a good time, but normal 7 Wonders was also pretty good.

King’s Dilemma - Our second session of this legacy game, where you play one campaign that’s like fifteen sessions long and then it’s over. It’s been pretty fun, voting for things and trying to manipulate the kingdom to match our goals. Our kingdom is doing pretty bad though but it’s fine, it’s more memorable that way. Good game.

Ticket to Ride - Was pretty fun, we played very non-competitively and just stuck to our own things so most people got everything done. Cool game but it was a little long, although it was the first time for a couple people.

I’ve been using the Steam Flatpak on NixOS and it works great, the native one wasn’t working but that might’ve been because I was doing weird things with Impermanence and symlinks and stuff
