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!

    Nimm 6! Works great with random people. Tuto and its variants are fun as well. Kinda depends on the amount of players tho. I think that the bang dice game is fun, but more difficult. Someone on there recommend me Knucklebones.org the KutL mini game.

    Honorary mention goes to Cockroach Poker. Easy and very fun. Great to learn who’s around you as well

      I was going to say 6 Nimmt as well. The no writing of scores is the toughest part of their requirements…
