Uno

You try to empty your hand by matching colors or numbers on the discard pile. Action cards let you skip players or force them to draw more cards. It is fast and very easy to teach to anyone. This game sits right in the middle of being accessible but still offering a good strategic puzzle. I like pulling it out when we want a solid hour of thinking without burning out. The components hold up nicely to regular play, which is a big plus. It is fun to watch your plans slowly come together, even if someone occasionally gets in your way. Grab a drink, set it up, and you will have a solid evening of tabletop gaming.
