"Some of our most fun / most enjoyed / most memorable sessions and experiences have been the ones where we went shopping and improv'd out conversations, or attended festivals and played games, or had a Regency-era ball and played through that" ok! I believe you! Have you considered WHY?

basically any game can be fun if you play it with people whose company you enjoy; "I had fun with my friends" is not a particularly useful benchmark for discussing game design.
