Safranito
Throw coins at a spice market, knock your rival's money off the good bowl, and cook for the maharaja.
Who it's for
Groups who like dexterity but want more than knocking things over, and mixed tables where children can compete with adults on aim alone.
Not for you if…
You dislike physical games or want a market game where the trading is actually the point. It also needs table space and a surface the coins will not fly off.
Vibe's take
Cheerfully brutal. Half the table is aiming, the other half is groaning as their coin gets shunted off the saffron.

About this game
At an Indian spice stall you literally throw your coins at the board, aiming for the bowls of cardamom, saffron and chilli. A well-aimed toss buys you spices cheaply and shoves a rival's coin off the good bowl at the same time. First cook to serve the maharaja his meal wins.
