I am wondering if anyone has suggestions that will fit my needs.
At work me and some work pals play a quick game or two of rummikub. This has been the reigning king of lunch for a while for a few reasons: it's quick, easy to learn if someone wants to join in, suits varying amounts of players, there's no scoring or need to write anything down, random enough that most people get a win every now and then, VERY quick set up, just grab tiles and go.
I like it but also like variety and am wondering if anyone has some suggestions that match some or all of these criteria. Just a quick replayable game that we can enjoy on our break and anyone can join in easily. I tried Azul but even that was a bit too much for most even though it's the slightest bump up in terms of setup and scoring.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Edit: So many excellent suggestions to try, thanks everyone!
My suggestions are:
Cubirds A simple card game about collecting different types of birds. Easy to learn, quick setup, and simple scoring rules.
Fantasy Realms Another card game there you try to collect the best set of 7 cards. A little bit intimidating at first for some players because of the fantasy theme, I found that it works great with all kind of people. The scoring is quite complicated, but there is an app that can scan the cards and calculates the results for each player.
