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?
How about Regicide, a co-op playable with a standard 52+jokers deck, has a vague medieval/fantasy theme. A bit heavier than Zombie Dice but should be manageable. Just have to memorize 4 simple suit powers.
There is also a nice thematic deck available which is a good way to support the game’s designer.One more suggestion, zero theme but very entertaining: Strike! You are throwing dice into an arena trying to get matching faces. Rolling X means you lose those dice and your turn. You can hit other dice to try to change their faces. Plays quick, we sometimes use it to decide the first player in the real game.
