As the material (apart from the rules) is completely language independent, a foreign language version would suffice as well.1. Transamerica: very easy and clean track-building game with high variability. Can be played with 2-6 players, 4-5 being the optimum number. One round takes some 10 minutes, three to  four rounds are usually needed to complete a game. Very easy to grasp and beginner-friendly; new players usually ask for this game to be played at the next session.2. Viva il Re: players get a card with six (?) of 14 (?) pretenders to the throne. The pretender-pawns are placed on a simple track by the players. On your turn, you move any one pretender up on space on the track. When a pretender reaches the last space on the track, players vote whether this guy will be the new king. Each player has voting cards: one "yes" and three "veto". Without veto the rouns ends with the new king. Players score points for the position of their pretenders. If at least one veto is played, the affected pretender is removed from play, the veto cards are discarded and play continues. One round lasts until a new king has been elected (1-5 minutes); the whole game consists of three rounds. Easy to grasp bluffing game.3. Metro: another track building game, this time thematising the buiolding of the Paris Metro. A bit more involved than Transamerica. Metro has been our favorite introductory game for years.Ah, still another one:Piranha Pedro: Cool little bluffing game with lots of actual stones. Fun to play with the material, though probably rather expensive to ship.</blockquote>
