comment Making 6H (declarer: 54, AKQJTx, -, 98765)
I haven't done a thorough check, but I think this is impossible when W has (T9876,9873,Q932,-) and E has (QJ,-,AK87654,Q432). NS will lose to the QC at some point, and so can't afford to lose any other tricks. This means they must clear out the trumps to start with, and S is only left with one trump as a winner. Consequently N will get stuck with the lead and lose one more trick in spades or diamonds. Have I made a mistake here?

comment Palafico round in Perudo
This sounds like a sensible interpretation. I guess the key thing is to agree the rule clearly before the game (or even at the start of the first palafico round would be sufficient).

comment What are great gamer games that are still great for uncompetitive groups.
We've had plenty of arguments in Bohnanza of the kind "Why did you give that to him rather than me..." Maybe that's just us though.

There are some house rules that can make the game nicer still. I think the nastiest aspects of settlers are the robber and the monopoly cards.

comment Clarifying house rules for Monopoly
+1 Auctioning everything before the start of the game sounds like a very interesting idea. I think it might change the game significantly from Monopoly, but that might be good :-) Presumably there isn't enough money to sell all properties at their reserve price.

comment How do you handle two epidemics in a row in pandemic?
We would handle the epidemics separately (as in Kempeth's answer). Consequently there would be a discard pile for the second epidemic - it would consist of just the drawn city card (and unless there are some special events in play this would cause an outbreak).

comment What would be a good set of topics for a quiz game?
Pop culture is a very broad category and questions could come under the subject headings such as "media", "music" or "art. Home improvement sounds like what I did in CDT (craft, design and technology) lessons.
