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?

The theme is very minimal. I think the premise is "someone is trying to sneak a letter to the princess. Guess who has it? The guard? The maid? Etc." It's just a deduction game.

But there are also loads of "themed" versions if you prefer. Batman, Cthulhu, Munchkin, Santa Claus, Legend of the Five Rings, The Hobbit, Marvel, etc.

And since there are only 13 cards, you could easily re-theme it with a Deck of Many Things or something.

That's a great idea. Maybe I'll make some cards myself....
