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

I know you said preferably no dice, but... have you checked out Perudo/Liar's Dice? It's a cup & dice game based around bluffing

Sherriff of Nottingham is also a great push your luck sort of game but the footprint is probably bigger than you'd like, you're trying to make money by selling goods and maybe contraband past the sheriff, who could also be open to bribery...

Seconding Perudo. It's brilliant fun.
