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!
Thank you! I haven’t heard of filler games before, should make my search a bit easier. I’ll go through your list, too. I was wondering about the crew, I tried Cat in the Box but it didn’t take because of the scoring.
The Crew includes a log book where you track you progress in increasingly more complicated setups. We have played it through once for The Crew: Mission Deep Sea, but mostly we just ignore it and start at a reasonable difficulty level and increases the level once every time we win the game within a session.
