## Prompt

```text
Recommend board or card games for my group.

**Players:** [usual number, and the range we sometimes get]
**Ages:** [AGES]
**Experience:** [new to games / casual / enthusiasts]
**Games we already love or own:** [LIST]
**Games we didn't enjoy and why:** [LIST]
**What we want:** [e.g. "party laughs", "cooperative", "strategy", "quick to teach", "two-player for a couple"]
**Play time:** [e.g. "under 45 minutes"]
**Budget:** [AMOUNT per game]

Give me 6-8 picks. For each:
- Name and one-line pitch.
- Player count, typical play time, and suggested age.
- Why it fits this group, based on what I told you.
- Teaching difficulty (easy / moderate / heavy).
- A possible drawback for us.

Then:
1. My single best first buy and why.
2. One free or almost-free option (a classic card game, a print-and-play game) we can try tonight.

Rules: only recommend games you're confident exist. Prices change, so describe cost as a rough range and tell me to check current prices. Don't recommend games I listed as owned or disliked.
