<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s been a minute since we talked about short games! (<a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/episode-194-quick-games/">Episode 194</a> or <a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/episode-369-10-minute-slider-games/" type="post" id="43883">Episode 369</a>) But life is crazy these days, we’ll get into the monthly report, so we started thinking about games that were fast. What are some great ones that take 10-15 minutes?</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">0:23:10 Top 10(ish) Quick Games</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What do you play if you’ve got 15 minutes or less?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A few that our family is likely to pull out when we’ve got limited time:</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em><a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/trio/" type="post" id="40375">Trio</a></em> – this list is not in order, but <em>Trio</em> would be our top recommendation.<br><em><a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/similo-card-game/" type="post" id="8822">Similo</a></em><br><em><a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/floristry/" type="post" id="58523">Floristry</a></em><br><em>Got Five!</em> (review coming soon)<br><em><a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/quarto/" type="post" id="29348">Quarto</a></em><br><em><a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/5er-finden/" type="post" id="12829">5er Finden</a></em><br><em><a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/drop-it-review/" type="post" id="4454">Drop It</a></em><br><em><a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/kiri-ai-duel/" type="post" id="47692">Kiri-ai: The Duel</a></em><br><em><a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/get-the-macguffin/" type="post" id="5195">Get the MacGuffin</a></em></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What do these games have in common?<br>Simultaneous turns, or very simple turns (limited decision set).<br>Strategic, but not complex.<br>Need to pay attention to the information you get on other players’ turns.<br>They <strong>don’t</strong> need to have a timer limiting how fast your turns go. (Exceptions: <em>5er Finden</em> is a race, and <em>Floristry</em> has a timed auction every round.)</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Number 10(ish): three party games (that are more of a social activity):<br><em><a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/person-do-thing/" type="post" id="60826">Person Do Thing</a></em><br><em><a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/chit-chat/" type="post" id="60679">Chit Chat</a></em><br><em><a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/smug-owls/" type="post" id="39952">Smug Owls</a></em></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Solo games? Anitra is playing fewer short solos these days. But if she wanted a quick one: <em><a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/a-gentle-rain/" type="post" id="47292">A Gentle Rain</a></em>, <em><a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/a-nice-cuppa/" type="post" id="57988">A Nice Cuppa</a></em>, <em>Food Chain Island</em>, <em><a href="https://www.thefamilygamers.com/grove/" type="post" id="20232">Grove</a></em>, or <em>Adventurous</em> all play in under 15 minutes without feeling rushed.
