I haven't played Thorium, but bridge sims are a lot of fun. Especially when playing with colleagues or other engineers. I've found non-tech people can get frustrated and bored with them, but my 70yo non-techie mother is in love with the engineering station of Artemis. It is a lot of work to play the Captain role, and in any event the game is tiring after about an hour.

What's really fun is having everyone in the room engaged with a central game (played on the big TV in the room) on their own phones/computers. Usually group games aren't cooperative or interactive to the entire group at once. Jackbox has a few coop BYOD party games, but I really wish this product-space had more options.

There's also the case of venues having realistic bridge-sims that are kinda like an escape room (in setting/biz model). Show up to the set and cooperate to solve the task. This seems to be the use-case for Thorium classic (the predecessor to TFA). I've seen these at flight museums. They're a load of fun, but probably rather expensive to setup and run (and still tiring).
