same here. There were (online/zoom) games where I spent like 15~20 minutes on twitter, and just clicking 'roll' on my turn because I could never do anything

I prefer ticket-to-ride, where I can always buy a card or two, and always (after buying enough), put some trains on the board.

Yes! Ticket To Ride has become our go to.

We also play a lot of Pan-Am recently.
