Cockroach Poker
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- cockroach poker, skull king, the mind, maskmen. similar as in small card game with interaction. plus they all have less rules than bohnanza
- They also sold me on anomia, modern art, decrypto, cockroach poker, and a small handful of oink games. It’s a great collection.
- Cockroach Poker!
- cockroach poker is the most casual fun you can have with a light gaming group imo. so brutal, so funny
- I'd recommend Love Letter, Coup, Skull or Cockroach poker. They're all small and fairly quick for a round so let people drop in and out easily and all go up to 6 players.
Cons
- I can see potential here, but it needs repeat plays. it's kind of difficult for people to grasp the whole bluffing and giving away thing.
- Games She Dislikes: Bang!, Monopoly, Euchre, Cribbage, 7 wonders Duel, cockroach poker, pandemic
- I recently played Cockroach Poker and I loved how much the game focused on the social interaction and made people laugh like a party game ... but I wasn’t a fan of how everyone was encouraged to gang up on the loser

The ones I would throw in are That’s Not a Hat, Trio, and Cockroach Poker. Both of the latter two can be played with an ordinary deck of playing cards, but in both cases the art is a delight.
I've tried and enjoyed all those except the crew... Most support a high player count and are easy to teach. Strategic is kind of a subjective thing but I would say they all have interesting choices and gameplay.
Cockroach poker because I've had three different people buy it for themselves after I've introduced it to them.
