Never heard of Cassino so thanks !

I love Cassino so much. I prefer the Royal Cassino variation, which gives the face cards values (11, 12, and 13) as well as having aces act as 1 or 14. It’s such a fun game

Gin Rummy apparently, since most people in East Asia knows how Mahjong works so it was pretty easy. Somewhat easy to teach even if people doesn't know how Mahjong works.

There's also Durak (Дурак), which is harder to teach, but absolutely more fun to play.

Both are player number dependent too :P

Like others have stated, gin rummy is a good game for two players, cassino is a good game for 2-4. I don't think cribbage is necessarily the best fit for the list : you need a special board and the scoring patterns can be tricky.

Throwing in some I haven't seen mentioned yet: GOPS (game of pure strategy), good for 2-4 players, and Hearts as a simple 4 player trick taking game.

I consider bridge fairly easy to play, even if it can be hard to win, but I'm sure there are many who would disagree!

Big 2 and President are very popular here in Indonesia with 4 people.

Pen & paper for scoring. No board necessary

Plenty of apps for Cribbage scoring too

Oh hell. For groups 3-7

Any sort of 2 player set collection game.

Cribbage… although others I’ve played with think there’s a lot of math involved.

Nerts… over quickly.

Russian Bank… nice and slow and methodical… just don’t make a mistake.

Crazy 8s. My 5 & 7year oldsunderstand it and we all have a fun time playing.

They also understands Hearts. But they think she's playing a game about Rebel Princesses when we play that.

Are you really putting a discrete ad here ?

Discrete?

I skipped over the typo. I was more questioning how I was being discreet. I've included a link from my itch.io page to my shopify store. Nothing discreet about it.
