Get Your Rubles!
This is one game my wife and I play that we both enjoy. Not super complicated but it does have a lot of different things going on as well as some luck. Small kids will not appreciate it. This is a game that definitely gives an edge to people who have played it - there is a lot of delicate timing which you don't notice the first times you play. Initially I could not win this game - I play Go alot so I consider myself to have a little tactical/strategic sense, but my wife kept winning somehow. I since have modified my approach and win about half of the time. So it is not simple game to play; but if you enjoy something with a little meat on it, then definitely consider this.
