I'm mostly in the same boat traveling a lot for work. super deep partner game), Biblios, Armadora, 12 Days, R-Eco, Condottiere, For Sale (playable with 6 Nimmmt! and some tokens), The Game (playable with 6 Nimmmt! deck). Some smaller footprint but deeper games I'd recommend are Arboretum, Akrotiri, Kahuna, Targi, Bohnanza, Noir: Killer vs Assassin, Tichu (can be played with standard playing cards and 4 marked up jokers, or with the aforementioned Rage deck. Just did it again for a new idea yesterday. Also 6 Nimmmt! is a blast with 6+ players, in my opinion.Īlso I'm a game designer, and I find myself bringing out a Rage deck pretty often to prototype new ideas. There are a whole bunch of games you can play with those decks and they take up no space at all. I'd also recommend a 6 Nimmmt! or a Rage deck (has 6 suits numbered 0-15, suitable for a lot of modern card games). I think I managed to put Targi, Tides of Time, Lost Cities, a Smash Up expansion (playable at 2 players), and a couple others in there. I've been able to fit 6 games in the space of a Targi box, for example (great 2 player game that's deep but small, btw).
and play them to your heart's content.Īlso, a lot of games have a lot of empty space in their box. You can load that sucker up with hundreds of deep complex games with good A.I. Seriously, most board and card games either have or are in the process of getting an app nowadays.
