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

You might want to look at some laminated games with erasable pens. We really like Welcome To, and recently discovered Aquamarine as a 4 dollar game.

5 minute dungeon is a quicktime game that is coop, but was hard to get in Europe.

Picomino (regenwormen in Dutch) is a dice push your luck game that has a small footprint. I know you said no dice but still wanted to give the tip :p

Lastly you have walletgames such as Sprawlopolis (coop) which might be worth looking at, they are meant to be small.

Roll & Writes: We didn‘t enjoy Cartographer, it didn‘t feel exciting for us. Ganz schoen clever was another suggestion, but we‘d prefer no dice.

5 Minute Dungeon is awesome, but I played it so many times with my kids that I can‘t stand it anymore. But great suggestion! I‘ll have a look into your other suggestions.
