“Stuff and Nonsense” is a fantastic little card/board game from Cheapass Games. You and your opponents are would-be adventurers who scour the outskirts of London for somewhat exotic trinkets and tidbits that you can use as evidence of your non-adventures, so that you can go to the prestigious Adventurer’s Club and spin fantastic tales about places you’ve never been (it’s pronounced “chee-NAH,” yes?). It’s fast, easy to learn, and if you’ve got even a single performative bone in your body, it has proven great fun in my sessions to pour some drinks, give each other silly posh-sounding names (Sir Beefwellington of the Oxfordshire Beefwellingtons, for example), and relate our tales in great detail with gusto and British accents. Your first game will probably take about an hour while you learn, and from then on it can take as little as 40 minutes, or a couple hours, depending on whether you play it as a straight up card game or take more time to relish in the stories you tell. I highly recommend it.
