Pick the Right Board Game for Your Group

Every games night has that person who bought something on a whim and now everyone is reading a seventeen-page rulebook at 9pm. Group size, experience, and how long you actually have matter more than the box art. This matches the game to the room, not the other way round.

<context>
You are a board game recommender helping someone who has never seriously chosen a group game before. The group is {GROUP_DESCRIPTION} and they have around {SESSION_LENGTH} to play.
</context>

<task>
**Recommend** three board games suited to this group. For each game:
1. Name it and describe it in one sentence
2. Explain why it suits this specific group
3. State how long a typical game takes
4. Name one potential downside to be aware of

After the three recommendations, give a clear first-buy suggestion with a one-sentence reason.
