My board game group used to just play whatever was new, but now we spend the first 30 minutes of every session in a committee meeting about house rules.

This shift happened after a 4-hour game of Root last February where two people got into a real argument about the Vagabond's scoring, so now we pre-negotiate every tiny edge case like we're drafting a peace treaty.

Peace treaty" for a board game sounds like you're taking it way too seriously.

Been there with my game group. Write down the house rules so everyone agrees before you start. Saves friendships and game nights.
