Ticket to Ride. 2 Actions: draw cards, place trains. So it's perfectly suited to repeating phrases in French. "I take a card at random," "I take possession of the line between Paris and Brest." We played without the tunnels, which makes it a very simple game. A bit cramped with 4 players on the map, but with the stations allowing you to use opposing lines to complete your missions, it's not actually that complicated. Even Lichee, who is usually completely lost (he's new, so he's discovering a new game every time), did very well. Of course, Kiet won since he takes 3 hours to think before drawing cards, in order to analyze the best way to complete his mission.
They are beginners; they haven't yet started blocking each other. On the contrary, I heard them several times agreeing (in Vietnamese) to take the different lines so as not to block each other. As the game master, I have to teach them to be ruthless, because playing is serious business; it's not about making friends. But not yet, let's leave them in their childlike naivety for a while.
