Looking for an awesome pub game for 2-4p! (lemmy.world)

What we‘re looking for:

  • Easy to learn, hard to master
  • small footprint
  • It has to be great with both 2 or more players (up to 5)
  • exciting (push your luck or take that or similar mechanisms, maybe bluffing? A coop small engine builder tycoon game heavier than Bohnanza maybe?)

What we already have and like, but are bad with 2p

  • The Crew: Awesome, but sucks at 2p
  • For Sale
  • High Society

What we didn‘t enjoy:

  • Sushi Go Party
  • Cascadia (also too big)
  • King if Toyko (awesome but a bit too big, we‘d prefer a game without dice)
  • Love Letter
  • Coup

  • Hanabi co-op deduction, the deluxe edition that uses blocks rather than cards might work even better in a pub.
  • Point Salad simple but fun drafting game that works well at all player counts (2-6)
  • Coloretto or Port Royal for the push-your-luck. Zombie Dice and Martian Dice are fun too if you want a light option with lots of dice chucking
  • Fantasy Realms rummy-like hand-crafting but with much more interesting scoring possibilities
  • Liar's Dice or Spicy for bluffing
  • Super Mega Lucky Box bingo but good!
