I’m thinking about what my favorite small games are — games that are simple and small in components (like Go) but also that offer me something without demanding every shred of my attention (unlike Go).
Hive is one. An elegant little puzzle box of hexagonal bug tiles trying to surround the other player’s queen. Coup is another: a bushido-like game of bluff. One wrong move and you’re watching the rest of the (short) round.
@pvh I also recommend Love Letter as a very
chill version of Coup
