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?

Are you looking for separate games to play in between roleplaying sessions, or games to play “inside” the roleplaying game?

One game that comes to mind is “Love Letter”. A fun little card game that involves a little bit of deduction and bluffing but only takes about 4 minutes.

Kinda both. My idea is to start sessions in the Inn, giving them the opportunity to play for some info and money for the session. Dice and card games work great for that, because they can be manipulated by role-playing skills to some extent

The Love Letters theme seems a bit odd to me, but so far I have only heard positive stuff

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…
