Pina Coladice: 10 Minutes

I love how this game combines a bit of that Yahtzee style dice rolling and combo making fun into a new way. Players use the combinations they rolled to claim spaces on the board which will earn them points.

Duck and Cover: 10 Minutes

This cute game works a bit like a bingo game. Players have a grid of numbers in front of them and each time a number is called, you’ll take that card and either cover a card connected to it, or move the card to another location in the grid hoping to eventually have the fewest card piles in front of you or dwindle your piles down to one and win the round. It’s simple and fast — perfect for kids and adults alike!

Foxy: 10 Minutes

Can you remember how many dolphins you’ve seen? What about pigs? Have two cats or three been shown? Put your memory to the test in this quick, adorable game! Cards will flip out revealing a scene with animals, you’ll write down how many of total animals of those types you’ve seen. Players score points equal to the number they wrote down just so long as they don’t go OVER the correct number. Foxy starts off easy in the beginning, but by the final, 20th card, you’ll find yourself questioning what you’ve seen.

Ghost Blitz: 10 Minutes

Ghost Blitz is a fast playing, quick thinking game where you’ll need to quickly grab the correct item based on the card that’s flipped over into the center. Fun with two players or up to 8 for a big game!

Toy Battle: 15 Minutes

Players go head to head in a toy battle. Deploy your toy troops to take control of areas on the board or reach your opponent’s head quarters first to win. Games play quickly with exceptional tactical strategy to enjoy. This is one of the best two player family games we’ve played this year!

The Crew: Family Adventure 15 Minutes

This is a cooperative card game where you’ll work together to complete 35 missions using Crazy 8s (UNO) style game play. Each of the missions is quick, even if you fail and need to try again. You can set it up, play for a short time, and then come back to it another day. No need to complete the whole game at once!

More of a trick taking fan? The Crew series has that too!

This beautiful, two player game has you drafting cards to place onto your telescope or into your notebook. Collect and group celestial objects to score!

Point City: 15-30 minutes

I didn’t think it would be possible to enjoy a game more than Point Salad, but in walks the sequel and now I’m stuck squarely in the middle! We absolutely love the engine building element to Point City which creates a wonderful sense of “ramping up” as the game progresses and you become more powerful. 

Quicksand: 5 minutes per level.

Quickly work together to flip the sand timers all the way to the end of the line and win. This is a great real time game where you can work through a variety of different challenging levels again and again.

Draft cards to form sets that you can turn in for victory points. The bigger the set, the more points you’ll earn. Wait too long though and you’ll risk losing out entirely! This is a great two player game that is always exciting!

Perfect for players young and old, we love the simple choices, quick turns, and fantastic components! Perfect for families with mixed ages or attention spans. From set up to tear down, you’ll have a game played in 30 minutes or less!

This one will get your heart rate pumping. You all have 10 minutes to disarm a bomb by rolling dice, fulfilling cards, and working together as the clock counts (quite cheekily) down to zero.

Railroad Ink Challenge: 20-30 minutes

Whether you’re playing solo or with friends, Railroad Ink provides a fun path building challenge. We love trying to plan all the best ways to build out our network and then having to quickly rework it with an unexpected dice result.
