Xenon Profiteer
Xenon Profiteer is a neat little card game with a small engine-building core. It will not linger in the mind, but it fills half an hour pleasantly and asks very little in return.

Xenon Profiteer is a neat little card game, a mini engine builder that at least has the good sense not to outstay its welcome. Five minutes to set it up, another five to explain it, then a pleasant thirty or forty minutes at the table.
Its short running time is also what saves it. There is not quite enough depth in the system to keep it fresh if stretched too far, but as the gap between larger games — or on a Tuesday after work when nobody can face another rules teach — it does its job with a quiet sort of grace.

It is not one to write home about. It is, however, an honest little box for a pleasant short game, and the expansion is said to smooth it out further.
