This game made us fans for life and this forum, in its many incarnations, has kept these people together for the most part. Thank you for keeping this forum alive. It is a great thing.
There's still a few of us around here indeed, which is impressive since there hasn't been many new entries in the series for quite a while. I've been hoping for a new game for quite some time however! I've been considering creating an Atmosfear mod in a few games but I've been lazy in terms of coding recently.

I love Cards Against Humanity but it could not be a more simple game. This series has always been very involved and that's one of the things I love about it the most. I know you guys would but I am not sure a majority would agree today. I would definitely put my trust with the minds behind it to come up with the best route to take, if any. Either way, I imagine we will still be here lurking.
Actually the board game industry has seen a rather sharp rise in popularity in recent years. Some factors seem to be, paradoxically, the rise in technology. Meaning that now that people see each other less, there is more of a motivation for socializing during gaming. That being said, the series is fairly niche so I wonder how a new game in the series would do.
