Hot seat co-op comp stomp is some of the best conversational computer gaming around.

It’s turn based so there’s no real world time urgency, only one person is actually “doing” anything at a time, so the others can lounge around and talk, and the game is just exceptionally polished (and even balanced with a few tiny house rules like no infinite ball of skeletons).

The addons that stay true to the spirit make it even better.

FAIR WARNING: the online versus play that still is quite active is an entirely different game; you must watch enough to learn what a “break” is and how the online etiquette goes. It’s very interesting because it’s the exact opposite of the favorite strategy of turtling until unstoppable.
