I Guess This Is It Preview
Added 2022-01-28 19:04:17 +0000 UTCI Guess This Is It is a two-player game about saying goodbye. Players take the role of two people once strongly connected standing before each other in the final minutes before their last goodbye. They will work together to try and say as much as they can before leaving, but being careful not to hurt each other's feelings.
(If that sounds too heavy, you can also play it from a light-hearted fictional perspective like Ringo Starr quitting the Beatles during a concert performance, Luke Skywalker leaving the Jedi, or Kermit the Frog packing up for Hollywood - just a few examples off of the top of our heads).

So who won?
Nathan Mabry
2022-02-04 07:11:20 +0000 UTCNot Alone. Because then I'll know I won't be playing Alone.

James Marshall
2022-01-31 19:58:39 +0000 UTCGood ol' Sky Galleons of Mars, but skip the supporting fiction, which they would certainly find racist. (After seeing Brandon's answer of Leaving Earth, that would be my real answer -- great choice!) I fear them suggesting a game of Marsiforming Terra... but I'd still try it!
Gary Pressler

AUDREY ALBARRAN
2022-01-30 08:27:13 +0000 UTCLeaving Earth - the game is mostly math (theoretically it would be a universal constant, but would probably have to explain our base 10 number system) and could serve as an explainer of our attempts to explore space.

2022-01-30 07:00:35 +0000 UTCI once created a monopoly type game with a friend called Xerxes Valley. It had credit card companies, electric companies, building companies, taxi companies, water companies, and more. While never released, I’d play it for nostalgia stake.

Mike Berg
2022-01-29 20:18:58 +0000 UTCSadly, all the witty answers are taken. So I guess I’ll say Dune Imperium since it’s the newest one I’ve been playing
Eric Hudson
2022-01-29 18:40:39 +0000 UTCTerraforming Mars. Who can inhabit Mars first... considering they aren't already on Mars haha

2022-01-29 16:17:55 +0000 UTCI would teach him borg., and yhen give it to him. This way he can play alien games on his own, and teach his alien kind the joys of simple games. I of course would have to go buy another copy because i love blorg in the midwest (i think thats the correct title).

2022-01-29 08:54:28 +0000 UTCFirst Contact seems thematically appropriate for the occasion.

2022-01-29 05:37:22 +0000 UTCI’d want to play terraforming mars with a Martian, maybe they could give us some tips haha

Wes Urschel
2022-01-29 03:13:49 +0000 UTC"...and then, we held hands." Or really any non language based game, since I only took 9th grade Martian and can't remember much.

2022-01-29 01:33:03 +0000 UTCOn the one hand, I do not want to insult anyone with our imperialistic projection onto martians with a game like Martian Fluxx. On the other hand, to erase their existence with something like Terraforming Mars also seems gauche. And in the end, this is such an opportunity to get to know someone, I think I would want to go with the Ungame.

Ashley Miller
2022-01-28 22:49:49 +0000 UTCWould take the opportunity to introduce them to Jaws the board game. Not the best ever, but Sharks are just awesome. Plus Mars surely wouldn't have many sharks roaming around.

2022-01-28 22:39:50 +0000 UTCTerraforming Mars is the obvious choice I guess

Morgan Lindroos
2022-01-28 21:06:14 +0000 UTCThe Crew, since you aren't allowed to talk anyway, so the language barrier would be no problem. Plus, it fits thematically
Stefan
2022-01-28 21:04:17 +0000 UTCBackgammon, because it just sounds a bit like "mattdamon" and he must be an idol up there.
Abadosa
2022-01-28 20:40:43 +0000 UTCCockroach Poker. If they didn't understand humans before that game, would they understand them more or less after?
Hank Heyming
2022-01-28 20:39:36 +0000 UTCI'd have to go with Terraforming Mars. Maybe they can share some of their secrets after. ;)
Patrick Fuller
2022-01-28 20:38:56 +0000 UTCAfter watching Adam’s (No Rolls Barred) history video on The Ungame I think It could be the game I’d choose. I’ve never played it, but seems like a great game when trying to get to know someone new. Not sure if a competitive game with aliens is the safe way to go :)
Jocelyn Painter
2022-01-28 20:34:34 +0000 UTCDefinitely Terraforming Mars, and then would discuss with them how a Martiaforming Terra would be :P
Martín Borda
2022-01-28 20:26:43 +0000 UTCHonestly I would pick something like red light/green light and see if Martians have their own variation
yuu
2022-01-28 20:25:55 +0000 UTCScrabble. I'd wipe the floor with them, assuming they don't know any earth languages.
David Ritcheson
2022-01-28 20:13:56 +0000 UTCThe language barrier might be an issue. So either Magic Maze will be a completely frustrating experience... or it might be a communication breakthrough with our alien neighbor.

Photobeeguy
2022-01-28 20:11:10 +0000 UTCThere's a lot of thematically good choices to play with a Martian, but knowing me, I'd still try and convince them to play Baseball Highlights 2045.
Ryan Kesler
2022-01-28 20:10:48 +0000 UTCRisk because that is a good way to start an interplanetary incident.

Michael PN
2022-01-28 19:36:31 +0000 UTCI’d pick something you can play with minimal teaching and that works through a language barrier… I’d probably go with Mysterium. Plus, if they somehow got the idea that they’d be left with a planet full of ghosts if the wiped us out, that’d be okay too ;)
