Hive Pocket is fairly easy to learn, maybe strangers would be down to play. I would also recommend a magnetic set of backgammon or maybe mancala.
If space isn’t limited, I really like Knarr. It’s pretty short and easy to learn, but it does basically require a decently sized table.
It’s funny to me that AMEX is supposed to be the fancy card considering that we accepted it at the rural Canadian grocery store I worked at as a teenager. We also accepted Discover.
