Briscola Chiamata
https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/99696/briscola-chiamata
Briscola Chiamata (English: declaration Briscola) is the five-player version of Briscola. Every player is dealt eight cards, so that no cards remain undealt. Then, each player, starting from the dealer's right and proceeding counter-clockwise, bids in an auction to declare how many points they will score. A player may pass, and hence cannot bid again in that game. The bid represents the number of points that player believes he is capable of accumulating. Bidding continues until all but one player have passed in a round. This remaining player has then "won the bid" and therefore gets to declare the Briscola, i.e. the trump suit. The declarer also declares a specific Briscola card (example, the "Ace of Cups" if Cups was the declared Briscola) and the holder of this card is then determined to be the declarer's partner. Logically, the declarer would declare the highest Briscola card he does not already hold in the hopes of creating the strongest combined hand between him and his partner.
The remaining three players are partnered with each other, without their knowledge. Each player, other than the declarer's partner, acts independently, until it is clear which players are partners. Infrequently, the declarer may declare a Briscola card he already holds (if he feels he has a very strong hand), in which case the other four players are partenered against him.
Because of the unique method of declaration and blind partnering in this variation of the game, it is considered to be one of the most entertaining variations of the game. Game strategy is often devised to determine which player is partnered with the declarer, whereas the declarer's partner may devise ruses and decoy strategies to fool the other players, such as not taking a trick, or playing points on a trick that will be won by an opponent.
Fantasy Tavern Brawl
https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/416937/fantasy-tavern-brawl
What would a tavern be without a good old brawl?
Fantasy Tavern Brawl is a fast-paced game where players fling, slide, or drop their cards towards the tavern and then place or remove meeples based on the card’s ability. Every card that touches an existing card enlarges the tavern.
Some cards will allow you to create additional floors to the tavern by placing the card on top of existing meeples, eventually creating a three dimensional chaotic puzzle of cards and meeples. At the end of the game, players count the number of meeples still on top of the cards forming the tavern, with those on higher floors scoring more points.
Included are rules for a variety of scenarios to play, each with different combinations of cards and rules for drafting them.
Hero or Villain: Battle Royale
https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/370979/hero-or-villain-battle-royale-the-card-game
Hero or Villain: Battle Royale –The Card Game- is a fast-paced game where you and your friends trade blows as super-powered individuals. Aside from combat elimination, the game also has social deduction and Russian-roulette mechanisms that will ensure only one is left alive by the time players go through one entire deck. The game is designed for 2 to 5 players, and takes 10 – 15 minutes to play.
On your turn, you can play any number of power cards to influence the game, or try to attack other players to eliminate them. Players may verbally challenge you if they feel your character does not have the ability to use a certain power, forcing you to lose some cards if you were indeed not telling the truth. At the end of your turn you must finish by drawing one card, and if you draw a Demolition card you will be eliminated from the game if you do not have any cards left to defend or heal yourself. If you are still alive after you draw a demolition card, then you will place the card back in the deck at a place of your choice, which may be later triggered by another player and remove them from the game!
There are a total of 6 playable characters, all appearing in the Hero or Villain gamebook series.
