Matchstick Tycoon
In マッチ売りの大富豪 (Matchstick Tycoon), you want to be the first player to ditch your cards and your matchsticks. Each player starts with one matchstick and a hand of cards, with cards going from 0 (low) to 8, then from A to F (high). The first player in a round plays one or more cards of the same strength, and each player in turn either plays the same number of cards of a higher strength or passes; when a player passes, they take a matchstick from the reserve, but they can play again if the round doesn't end before their next turn. When all players pass in turn, clear the cards, then whoever played last starts a new round. You can use matchsticks to modify the value of your cards, and you can play cards with either end up, so a 6 can become an 8 by adding one matchstick to it, a 6 can become a 9 by flipping it, and a 1 can become an F by flipping it and adding two matchsticks. If a player plays five cards of the same suit, a revolution takes place, and F is immediately the lowest value and 0 the highest. When a player has no cards and no matchsticks remaining, they win. (If a player ditches all their cards but still has matchsticks, on each of their subsequent turns, they discard one matchstick.) Keep playing to determine all players' ranks.

Flagenius
国旗王 (こっきんぐ) is a card game from Japan (meaning Flag King), with the ENG title Flagenius. Flag King is a casual party game that incorporates a trick-taking mechanism into a flag game, in which players are forced to compare data from 197 countries around the world, relying only on information from the flags. The rules are very simple: each player is dealt eight flag cards from the deck of 197, with only the flag pattern on the front and the country data on the back. Over seven rounds, the player is presented with questions such as: Which country has the largest area? Which country has the smallest population? Which country has the longest official name? The winner is the country with the card that most closely matches the question.
