Simple fantasy games? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I do a lot of Roleplaying and need some games for in-between and "gambling" for the others I play with. I don't want my players to learn a long and massive game. Something that feels a bit medieval and uses dice of 55/32 card decks would be perfect. Like Gwent or Zombie dice. Maybe where you can cheat?

Red Dragon Inn is pretty fun and easy to learn. Essentially you’re an adventuring party hanging out at the tavern. You can gamble, pass drinks out to folks, and engage in other shenanigans. Each character has some different abilities or strong suits. Last person to pass out wins. You can even reskin some of the character abilities to match up with your own OCs if you want to do some extra RP.

Sounds fun, do you know how long a round is?

Depending on how many players and how many shenanigans occur I’d say 30-60 minutes. It’s a full game. One players turn is probably 1-3 minutes or so. It probably wouldn’t be very satisfying to not play out the whole game, though.
