I ordered No Mercy and Gang of Dice last week. So I am looking forward to trying them out as soon as they arrive. If I like those two, I might have to track down a copy of Circus Flohcati and/or Medici TCG. Sadly, the Grail version of both those games are a bit expensive.

Of course, I already own Hot Lead, which is great.

I prefer Circus Flohcati simply because there is more strategy (less swingy luck) involved. But No Mercy/HIT is a great quick filler if your group wants to play something very light and simple with some big laughs.

For Knizia Push Your Luck card games, my favorites are probably Hot Lead and Medici: The Card Game. Hot Lead is super quick and easy to teach. Medici is longer and more strategic.

I’m also a huge fan of Gang of Dice which isn’t a card game but is a great push-your-luck game.
