Hey all. Im on the look out for short card or board games. Especially for short attention span individuals (eg. Me)
At the moment we love Exploding kittens and some of the fluxx games. But we're looking for games that appeal to both everyone of the family. My husband and I are looking for something else to do instead of staring at the tv. But we want games that will entertain us on our own as well as be suitable for a 12 year old.

I've heard Pieface is a riot.

We like Love Letter. Tiny little game and quick rounds but variety in how it turns out.
#4Posted 23 November 2019 - 06:02 PM
Codenames, the original or there's a pictures version which is even more interesting!

Suspend. Almost a reverse Jenga.

My son and I like to play a short game in the morning before school. A couple of our favourites are:
Dungeon Mayhem. Based on D&D but you don't need to know anything to have fun with this. Cat Lady is a fun cute game - it says 30 mins but we often play in 20 mins Roll for itis a simple dice game Zombie Diceis also fun And the wizard Always wins is fun if you do have 30 min #9Posted 24 November 2019 - 07:52 AM
There are a heap of fantastic 2player card games.
We like Jaipur, Lost Cities, Fungi (also called Morels), Biblios. #10Posted 24 November 2019 - 08:23 AM
Zombie Dice is great, I can maintain my enthusiasm even of tired and distracted. Love a game with minimal set up.
#11Posted 24 November 2019 - 08:33 AM
Organ Attack is a ripper.
Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, is also fun. Edited by cvbn, 24 November 2019 - 08:35 AM. #12Posted 24 November 2019 - 08:34 AM
Telestrations - it’s like the game telephone and Pictionary. I like it because everyone is always doing something!
#13Posted 24 November 2019 - 08:35 AM
Camel Cup is a quick paced board game.
#14Posted 24 November 2019 - 09:08 AM
Sequence is about 30min board game - it is not a kids game but kids enjoy it along with us and the grandparents. can play individual or in teams which changes it too.
#15Posted 24 November 2019 - 09:12 AM
My family like Pandemic - it's a game where you have to co-operate with each other! I don't know about other people's kids but fun family games at our place always end with someone in tears because they are losing!

Unstable Unicorns
Sequence #18Posted 24 November 2019 - 07:23 PM
Sequence
Azul Blokus Pandemic They all take about 20-30 minutes Probably a bit longer for pandemic and it’s a little more complex and time consuming to learn (but worth it!). #19Posted 24 November 2019 - 07:28 PM
Mindtrap https://www.gamesmen...HxoCB0sQAvD_BwE
Mastermind https://www.edex.com...-RoCsAEQAvD_BwE Oldies but goodies. #21Posted 25 November 2019 - 12:54 AM
Scattegories!
Scrabble Trionimos (?) - we don't bother with scoring so not sure how complicated that gets. Uno Yahtzee We've been playing lots of card games. I really enjoy what is colloquially known as "sh*thead" from my backpacking days. It's generally fast so great for those of us who don't enjoy long winded games. By myself I play 4 aces/aces up. #22Posted 25 November 2019 - 04:55 AM
No thanks!
Also seconding pandemic #23Posted 25 November 2019 - 06:36 AM
Raid the pantry
Unstable Unicorns Poo Loot Silent but deadly Saboteur #24Posted 25 November 2019 - 09:07 AM
Definitely Spot It for a short & fast paced card game, a favourite for everybody in my family.
