Easy Breezy Travel Agency ★★★★★

. Alex Kevern’s Easy Breezy Travel Agency was awarded first runner-up in the Dice Hate Me 54-Card Challenge, and for good reason: Along with Diner, it was a certified crowd-pleaser, with players walking away from the game still talking about it hours later.

Set in Sheboygan of 1974, Easy Breezy has players acting as travel agents trying their best to provide tickets for customers going to one of four locations: New Orleans, New York, Chicago and Miami. As customers line up in the queue, certain fares will rise in price, creating a greater demand and, in turn, a greater commission for the agent that is able to provide the ticket. The hand limit comes into play heavily in this game, and players will often have to put some of their customers into their waiting area — an area in front of them where other players might be able to coax travelers over to their ticket counter.
