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. :)

"Games you can play before this video finishes"

I love your vids guys, I've bought A LOT of games out of watching your top 10 videos, much love 💜

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.

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.

That feel when the video about games under 30 minutes isn’t quite under 30 minutes...

My favorite short game that I own is Fox in the Forest. My husband's is probably Lost Cities.

Dice Throne, at 2 players. It’s another battle type game, but like Unmatched there are so many different types of characters to choose from, it’s never the same game twice.

Great list. Patchwork and Hanamikoji would definitely be in my top 10.

This is a great list with some games that weren't on my radar. How about doing "Meaty Small Box Games for Four"?! I have loads of fillers, but nothing small and meaty for my quartet.

I play Draftosaurus with my whole family. My 4 and 7 yr olds are able to grasp the summer side of the board and the meeples are great. Sushi Go Party and Go Nuts for Donuts are our favorite quick games to play.

Raptor! Strategic and fun! Definitly under 30 min... if you know what you’re doing 😅

Im probably the only person to say this, but i like how the title appears, then the boardgame cover appears next to it. Its the little things.

loved the video! 24:34, that was so satisfying, plz bring back the magical hand-waving-ness in future videos

Here’s my favourites: Battle Line, Arboretum, High Society, Felix: The Cat in the Sack, LOTR: The Confrontation, Patchwork, Werewords, Race for the Galaxy, The Crew, and Junk Art.

Splendor with 2 players can be played in 20 mins

I'd jam scout somewhere in this list. It's fantastic

7 wonders and Race for the Galaxy are my top choices, though to be under 30 mins, they can’t be with first time players.

Africa by kinzia is pretty good for a quick game. Good feel.

7 Wonders would work at 30mins but only without the expansions, it'd be a rush to get it into 30mins with the extras. It is a great game, my number 1 of all games when I think about it. Excellent video, 3yrs late in watching :D

I can’t wait to see the painting of the raptor minis and Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde!!!

Santorini (abstract) and Incan Gold (push your luck) are two games that go super quick and are super fun.

Kahuna, Lost Cities, Shoot-Out Hockey, and blitz chess.

Two player or solo quick games: Hanimakoji, Race for the Galaxy (once people know it), Onitama are some favorites For more players, Sushi Go! Party, 7 Wonders, and The Estates are generally all under an hour, though people have to be experienced to get them down to thirty minutes...

I play draftosaurus with my 9 years old daughter. I leave out the dice restriction for her, so we have equal chance to win. Now we play sushi roll as a stap up from draftosaurus. She discovers the tactics of hate drafting by herself, fun to see.

Thanks for this, could you maybe do a best games that play in under an hour? I'll be checking out blue lagoon for sure.

Hive. Hivehivehive, it's genius. Also maybe fugitive

Paper tales; dokmus; 13 days: Cuban missle crisis; new corps order; omen: reign of war; air, land, and sea; pixel tactics; liberation; biblios; cryptid; oh my goods!; microbrew; thunder and lightning; voluspa; coup; medieval academy; res arcana; watergate.

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.

You guys are the best board game channel!

Love 7 wonders duel! Top 10 for sure

TZAAR, DVONN, Aton, Jaipur, Claim, The Crew, Hive, Onirim, Love Letter, Lost Cities, Schotten-Totten/Battle Line, Splendor, Onitama, Pickomino, The Fox in the Forest, Seikatsu, Harvest Dice, Mandala, Welcome To..., Draftosaurus, Ticket to Ride: London/New York...

Gentlemen. You ... are ... ten ... for ... TEN! Great list of games. My 30 minute game is Ganz Shön Clever. ~ Durk Master Funk.

I love Kinizia games and own Blue Lagoon, but i would not say it's 30 minutes or less. I would have put The Crew on my list too, but my sons don't like it too much and I can't get it to the table very often. My sons would probably have added Coup or Love Letter to their lists. And my cousin likes king Domino too.

I play only with kids, so I like Scarabya, Dino World, and Codenames Disney for short play.

Morels! Although might be tougher to find these days...♥️

We really like Doppelt So Clever and Counterfeiters.

Carcassone & Lost Cities Card game. ( great video )

Blitzkrieg! Calico. Wingspan ain't very long. Marvel champions ain't bad.

Great list!

The resistance......classic.

TFT’s wizard and melee

My quick go to game is cat lady 😁

Space Hulk.Death Angel.... portable. deadly, fast to set up... game time between 30-45min. Sushi Go Party... portable, fast, simple, fun Timeline... superportable, superfast, supersimple and educational

Codenames Duet

Scoring for Blue Lagoon takes half the time

Biblios

Ganz Schon Clever and Welcome To get my vote. Fantasy Realms works well. Love your list though.

I think Century New World can be 30 minutes and somewhat crunchier.

Welcome to!

Jaipur, Blitzkreig, Kanagawa.

Why this video is longer than 30 minutes is beyond me. 🙃🙃

Arboretum

Is the background color of the opening animation color-coded to the series? Top 10 is Yellow, for example?

I love your content and respect your opinions but I absolutely detest Onirim. I don’t think I’ve won a single base game and much like solitaire it’s pointless and often times heavily luck dependent even with good strategy.

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!

Santorini, Santorini, Santorini, Santorini, Santorini.
