    I wanna throw in that I really like Say Anything. It's basically what it says, CAH type game etc but instead of picking from cards you write your own answers to a question.

    But it isn't just a "try to say the funniest random thing" game, because you're specifically trying to answer based on the reader of the question and what they think/like. Once everyone has answered, the reader secretly chooses their favourite. Then everyone bets on what they think the reader chose, and everyone scores or not based on the outcome. I find the betting adds a nice layer of strategy. More than just the reader choosing "I think this is funniest" alone.

    The humour also doesn't feel forced like it can sometimes be with pre written cards. The funny moments come from you and how well you know each other. You have to actually think. You can keep it family friendly or let it get wild if that's what you're all into.

    I will admit it's not for everyone and it fills a slightly different role. Sometimes you want a more casual game where you don't need to think and just choose cards. And games like CAH remove a layer of accountability you don't get when you literally write the answer from unlimited options. But I still find it can be a great choice and overall prefer it myself.

    Yes! One of my favourite games and a great one to play hudless. They found great immersive ways to lead you around.

    I've had the ET-2710 since mid 2020 and it's still going strong. I use it semi regularly, I've refilled the black twice and the colours once in that time.

    So I think the miscommunication here is that, they don't literally taste identical, but that they all have a "base" taste that comes through too strongly, no matter what other tastes are there as well.

    Let me ask you this, if I lined up a random beer, with a random 10 other drinks, any drinks, could you pick out the beer? If yes, the taste that lets you pick out the beer is what we're talking about.
