Fabled Fruit is one of our all-time favorite quick games. There are SO MANY different cards that come out over the course of your time playing. Each play is only about 15-20 minutes once you learn how to play. :)

Not a heavy game, but one of my favorite "lunch games" (and i know you guys like it so I assume it made the short list): High Society. IMO it's a perfect lunch game because not only is it small and quick, but you can teach it to anybody. Anyone who's into card games with some bluffing and mind games can get into it, yet there's just enough thinking to keep someone like me interested. Downside is the three player minimum, but whenever I've got a small group I might want to coax into a game I bring it along.
@Ohkapi4 жыл бұрын
one of my favorites too, underplayed. Consider these if you love it but want more plays: 2 different colour d6 dices for each stand for 1 AI, even numbers 2 money cards, odd numbers 1 money card, 5 is no bidding. After 4 auctions, reserve money card phrase for AIs, then hidden bid and instant win auction phrase for AIs, then continue the game. I doubt you need this but someone may :-)

Don’t Mess With Cthulhu is s nice lightweight hidden roll game. I can teach this to non-gamers in a heartbeat while I can still see a different level of game for more experienced players. I also like that the rolls and cards are collected and redistributed evenly so no one is ever “out” (plus it packs really small). There’s a new Deluxe version that I’d love to have but I’ve already bought the base game for me and as a gift. DMWC stays in my GoBag of small games (usually about 12 in a shoulder sling). Great choice, fellas!

A meatier game for two players in 30 minutes that I really enjoy is called Trambahn. It's a card drafting and set collecting game with a bit of meat, but not too involved. It also has the unusual theme of tramways.

I think finishing 7 wonders duel, queendomino and fleet the dice game in not more than 30min incl preparing, counting and putting all back in the box is challenging unless you play with some kind of timer to make you rush through the game. Especially at work you cant just leave the game where it is or extend the break time. Rule #1: dont believe the time printed on the box. :-) it mostly just works with the lowest player count, all experienced players and excluding time for preparation and getting things packed.

Going to disagree with "The Crew" not being a good first time trick-taking game. I'm using "The Crew" to teach Logan and Sam (teenagers) how trick-taking games work. It has been fantastic and learning helps a lot as you can easily go back after losing and understand how / why we should've done something different. Yes, it is a little slower but I find it SUPER rewarding to see their growth in becoming highly proficient!
