He's mentally ill. I see people like this frequently on the subway.  You did the right thing by just disengaging.

Like other people said.. try coop games.  Horrified is a great coop game.  And if someone's turns are taking an inordinate amount of time it's ok to set limits.  And lastly, don't focus on winning or losing.  It's the journey, not the destination.

Does he have his collection up on Board Game Geek? You could look and see if he has any games on his wish list.

Well... it was really the refs, not the Bruins.  ;-)

Did you see someone further up in the comments had a fix?

I have a group of 9. We rarely have that many show up.  It can get harder when you get up in the 6+ player range. I'm good with splitting into 2 tables, but some members have more fun playing a 7 player game. 

We will be hosting a short (2 hours or so) outside meetup Saturday, May 11. We have lots of games for you to choose from, or bring your own and meet your neighbors. If you've been on the fence and want to check it out, message me for the address.

My favorite 2 player game is Imhotep, the Duel.  Easy to learn, plays quick, thematic

I don't agree with that. There's too much potential for abuse and brigading.

Don't play the suggested first scenario as it is harder than the others. Feast for Umordoth is a good first scenario.

Ours randomly loses audio too. I have to occasionally do a reset. 

Yep it was in the rainforest biome and used to hang out on a dead tree branch in and around the water!

I've been looking at it on A.... One seller is 30% cheaper than the others so I'm thinking it's counterfeit. Promptly took it off my list.

Edit, spelling

I'd say 00 would be equivalent to a 12-14 US

Get a timer.  Everyone has the same amount of time to make their decision.

That looks like a blast!!

Many police stations offer safe exchange areas if you're worried about people  coming to your house.

I had one playthrough with a very competitive player and it was chaotic; but my group is pretty casual, so I wouldn't consider it particularly contentious. So I guess it depends on if your players are out to pillage, or more focused on treasure hunting.
