Skulls and Roses, now more commonly found as Skull, is a simple and elegant bluffing game with beautiful art, described in universe as a game the author discovered travelling with biker gangs - the original art was inspired after their tattoos. Players start with 3 Roses and 1 Skull, which they lay face down in front of them, while bidding on how many of these face down cards they can flip without revealing a skull. Reveal a skull, lose one of your cards, and the first person to win two bids wins the game. It's so simple that if you are ever stuck somewhere with friends and nothing to do you can easily reproduce the game (if not the art) with a deck of cards, or beer mats and a pen.
It's one of my favourites, but I mostly picked it because it features skulls, cos, y'know...
