Similo (history, fairy tales and myths)
This little gem distributed by Ghenos, composed of a very simple (and especially small) deck of cards, it will surely entertain you. It is a collaborative in which a player will have to try their hand at making guess a secret character among 12 available. There is no maximum number of players, this makes it perfect when there are many and if you combine the various decks available it also becomes a great challenge, involving even those who have never played.
Mint Works

With a really cute and mint candy inspired design, Mint Works convinces with its simple mechanics but reminiscent of much more complex games. Up to 4 players will be able to build their own city (and also do bad things to the opponents) and the limited duration will leave the desire for a second game.

Bandit
Bandit is a mini game published by Helvetiq, collaborative, in which you have to try to trap a runaway bandit by creating a labyrinth of dead ends. Absolutely non-trivial and very fun, one game leads to another and it will be a real challenge to succeed. Even if you have a tiny box, make sure you have a large surface to play with, as the maze could be unexpectedly large!
Deep Sea Adventure
To conclude our list, it could not be missing Deep Sea Adventure of the Japanese Oink games. In this push your luck game, up to 6 underwater adventurers will have to dive to search for treasures: you will only have three rounds available and a scarce supply of oxygen available to overcome your opponents.
