With my group at Nike Carc has been especially well received, as well as Alhambra, Ticket and Finstere Flure. At our session before going off for Christmas I tried New England, the first 'heavier' game I've tried, which was also well received. Generally I've stuck to the simpler end of the scale, and I can't think of a game that has totally bombed.
