2. Lord of the Fries
This is one of my favourite card games around and with only the need of some D6 dice, it’s super easy to create just print the cards on some cardboard and maybe throw them in some sleeves for good measure.
In Lord of the Fries, players are trying to fill orders by combining ingredient cards to make combo meals. Each round, a customer orders a dish, and the first player who can make it with cards from their hand gets to play those cards and start the next order.
Cards that you play are worth points, and cards that you don’t play count against you. It’s a simple game with plenty of laughs, and like its elder brother, Lord of the Fries survives to this day in a Superdeluxe edition, with full-colour cards and alternate decks for different restaurants.
But if you are ok with Black and white you can Download the print-and-play all at once via a handy .zip file from the Cheapass website.
But if you are like me you might find yourself buying a colored version.
3. Pandemic: Hot Zone
Designed by Matt Leacock and based on his best selling Pandemic titles,
Pandemic: Hot Zone features the same nail-biting cooperative experience but in a smaller, quicker form that you can take anywhere. Work together to discover cures for three diseases threatening the continent. Travel from city to city treating cases and preventing outbreaks as you research the cures together.
Use your character’s unique abilities and devise a strategy that plays to each player’s strengths—cooperation is key to keeping disaster at bay!

6.Tussie Mussie
Designed by Elizabeth Hargrave, the creator of the bestselling birdwatching board game Wingspan, this tiny card game is based on the Victorian practise of exchanging small bouquets of flowers, with each bloom carrying its own subtle message of love or friendship.
Along With the stunning artwork by Beth Sobel this game Features I-Split-You-Choose drafting, players draw 2 cards and offer one face-up and another face-down to their neighbour. The neighbour takes their choice and the active player receives the other. After everyone has 4 cards, face-down cards are revealed and everyone scores their collection. After 3 rounds the scores are totalled to determine a winner!
It’s a beautifully simple game that is easy to create due to its low number of components
