"Eternal Decks" is a co-op with a very lightly applied theme but an interesting aesthetic.
Play cards to accomplish goals (including adding cards to your deck). Someone can't make a legal play or ran out of cards = game over. You can communicate where you can play, but not what's in your hand.

"Hot Streak". Bet on racers, which move based on a shared deck that everyone adds cards to.
The minis are very nice, which adds to the spectacle.

I could definitely see Vinci/Small World evolving from this. Each round you draft a new civ and an ability (or smaller additional civ), use them to cut a swathe through existing ones, then score points. You need to be ok with the impermanence of your actions.

Interesting thread and linked article.
Two weeks ago I said that there were likely millions of uninstalled Blackwell GPUs sitting in warehouses as there is neither the data center capacity nor the power to turn them on. Michael Burry is looking into it and it looks like he’s got evidence I’m right.

The "board" in board games is the table. They are games played on a table.
This is also where "room and board" comes from, you get a room and a seat at the table (for food).
And also "above board". A deal that is above board was made above the table, rather than a sneaky deal below the table.
