01
Sushi Go!
the fastest teach on this whole list, hand people cards and by round two they get it. crunchy > light gamers fall for it once hooked
02
Love Letter
16 cards, one deck, explained before you finish shuffling
03
Coup
bluffing carries the whole thing. run through the roles once and you're playing
04
No Thanks!
05
Ticket to Ride
teach is genuinely 5 minutes but the game runs closer to 45 with four players, not the 30 the box implies. still belongs here
06
Azul
rules are a breeze, the fighting over tiles starts turn three, min 4 players gets loud fast
07
Skull
bluffing with coasters, nothing to explain beyond flip and bet
