Looking for an awesome pub game for 2-4p! (self.boardgames)

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

Have you tried Skull? You can get the official set or play with coasters. Bluffing and push your luck. I think you’d like it!

Strongly agree, Skull is super simple to teach and even to make a copy, and can have great group dynamics. I don’t think it works with 2, though, but it’s small enough that having it as an option is reasonable

Oh, I forgot about that, thank you!
