Honestly the one thing that fictional long haul spaceshipping gets wrong enough to take me out of it is their selection of board games.

Wolf 359, Red Dwarf, Mouthwashing, etc, all show that they have like, one garbage roll-and-move Sorry-like game, max. And from what we know about real life instances where people are stuck in the middle of nowhere for years for a job, they always have actual decent board games, because they have to if they wanna stay sane.

@V Zoomed in to see titles and I gotta say, supplying a remote, isolated outpost with Diplomacy is certainly a choice.

@V I remember there was a Shut Up and Sit Down podcast episode where they fielded a question from someone who was going to a south pole station and was looking for some board game recs. In their first mail they where under the impression that they'd basically be introducing more complex board games to the station, but they quickly found of there was a thriving board game scene there already.

Regarding the screenshot, I'm very amused by the fact that it looks like they have anywhere between 5 and 10 copies of Settler of Catan in that cabinet, I wonder how they feel when some bright-eyed new arrival comes bearing Yet Another Copy of Settlers of Catan.
