Words are inadequate

Carabande is sort of a racing game, except your cars are wooden discs and you flick them around the track, and sometimes knock other people off the track. The Action Set adds a couple of tricky track sections; this is kind of like what our setup looked like.

Thing . . . ever play Werewolf or Mafia? Very similar, except that you're scientists on an Antarctic research station, and every night one of you gets turned into a shape-changing alien. The scientists can test two of their number per day to see if they're aliens; a negative test doesn't kill them, so the things can just infect someone who got tested the next night. Controlled chaos, highly suitable for large groups.

And definitely indeed with the Dar awesomeness. (New album in two weeks!)
