I don't think that would work well because of keeping the cards in order and remembering what people have wanted to trade, etc.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Gloom is great, but it's not particularly quick. It's good for 3 to 4 people, though, and easily interrupted (though if you enjoy the storytelling aspect of it, maybe not so much).

I think I might veto that on the storytelling concept alone. I generally don't like games where I have to be creative. See also Balderdash.

It's not necessary to tell stories, but it makes it more fun, if you are into that sort of thing. I've never tried playing it as a simple card game without embellishing.

Set, and Yikerz.

Ooh, Set might be good. I've never played, but I think it's been recommended to me in every game store I've ever been in. Never heard of Yikerz.
As a bonus, Jeffrey's Toys is less than a block away. I noticed today that there is now Pirate Fluxx.

Loot is also pretty fun, if you like pirates.
There's also Zombie Dice and Cthulhu Dice.

Yikerz is a magnet game [link]
I got mine at ThinkGeek. Looks like it's available at Amazon as well.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

OK I know I want to Nuke that Basestar but where to move to? Anders has Weapons Control covered. Does anyone have an extra Strategic Planning for this nuke?
I'll move to communications unless someone has a better idea (too soon to jump, right?)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
BSG
Ok, so, first we need to sort out Helo's move. He's asked if anyone has a better idea than Comms; anyone want to pipe up?
Once we get that dealt with, he's ordered one nukage, extra hot, on that basestar. The roll may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.
Finally, I've received some COs for the rest of this State of Emergency. Anyone else who wants to send some in, feel free.
