Light weight: Learn it in minutes

From BoardGameGeek

Do you like Battle Royales and getting together with your friends? We made a Battle Royale you can get together and play with your friends! By combining the simplicity of a party game with the strategy of competitive trading card games, Counter Warfare lets you drop in and have a great time fighting your 'IRL' friends and fam over-and-over-and-over. The game also takes an average of 3 minutes to learn due to the fact that all the cards tell you exactly how to play them. It has 104 Unique, Balanced, Beautiful cards, divided into 2 card types and 4 rarities. In this game, your cards are your life, so there are no trackers, dice, or anything else required to play the game. Just the cards. Players take turns choosing the best play for their turn to get rid of all opponent cards while still keeping some in their hand. When the deck runs out, players discard cards on their turn instead of drawing, ensuring that there will always only be 1 winner. -description from the designer
