Fight the Landlord is an excellent game. Egyptian Ratscrew is a hoot.
My favourite that you’ve not listed is 99, an excellent 3 player only trick taker with cool bidding wrinkles.
I have played Crib to death, my wife is phenomenally lucky at it.
I’ve only played Spades once, async on BGA, but I really enjoyed it and would like to explore it more, but in person.
Also, honourable mentions for Shit Head (Turn 10 if you prefer); probably the most house ruled game of all time. Crazy 8s (Guy’s Game as it was known in our house) and the current favourite of the boys’, Pablo

Exciting news!
Quinns’ other project PEOPLE MAKE GAMES went to my partner’s work, the immersive starship experience BRIDGE COMMAND. They wore Go-Pro cameras on their heads and made a 45 min video of it.

I’m only a few minutes into the video, but so far I’m thoroughly impressed by the facility, story, and the immersive experience.
Kudos to your partner!

The building is amazing. You use the teleporter room and the only door opens onto a different corridor. The ship doors all go shhh. If the ship gets shot, sparks and smoke come out of the consoles. There’s escape pods. There’s a permanent background spaceship hum. It’s unreal.
