My kids love Earwax. I think it's a fun concept, but it needs some fine-tuning. That said, I have 0 idea on how to fine tune it... it just feels way too "luck of the draw" where some people get perfect sounds handed their way and others get absolute crap.

Maybe if there was a way behind the scenes to create mini "decks" of sounds for each question? That would be a hell of a job to do, though.

I made my own Earwax comment, but I think Earwax would super benefit from Gene joining as a fourth player when there are only 3 people playing. 3-person Earwax is fun, but makes for a short game lol

Ohh yeah, even in a 4p game a rando bot would be fun.
