Find good party/happy hour games quick

The site nails the annoying details: filters for No Signup, 100% Free, Mobile Ready and useful metadata (player count, est. time, tags) let you find a playable match in seconds. It's essentially a well-curated catalog of known winners (Skribbl.io, Gartic Phone, Codenames), which is immediately useful but not novel — add ratings, embeds or verified link checks and this would leap from handy to indispensable.
