Taj Mahal
This is among my favorite games (but then again, I am also a fan of India-themed games). This game is designed by Reiner Knizia who has some great mathematical functions in his games.
Taj Mahal is like poker; there is a “chicken” aspect to it. When do you fold? Do you bid up high or bow out and take your current leavings.
What I like about this game is the tension! It is so palpable and can be experienced in about 75 minutes!
If you haven’t had a chance to try out this game, then I think you owe it to yourself to try it out. It’s like a poker evening, without the money exchanging hands. And that’s probably a good thing, right? 
Happy gaming!
