This table is a list of games I usually bring with me.
Currently this isn't generated from the
data
so there may be
oversights.
Game name | # players | Age | Time | Notes |
Carcassone[+] | 2-6 | 10y | 30min | Base game plus Inns and Cathedrals expansion |
Chronology | 2-8 | 12y | est 1hour | Knowing history helps but only general stuff (like knowing that Thomas Edison developed the electric light after James Watt developed the steam engine) and only a little and there are cases where it hurts |
Clue | 2-6 | 8y | | The classic Clue |
Cribbage | 2 | | est 30min | Classic Cribbage, I have 2 boards and several usable decks (there are variations for 3 or 4 players, but I've never liked them so don't remember) |
Doodle Dice | 2-6 | 6y | | Language independant (and even has language learning, if you want) |
Firefly | 2-4 | 13y | 2hours | Very rules heavy, but most of the thirteen card decks work in similar ways |
[Eco]Flux | 2-6 | 8y | 10-40min | I have had games that missed the time estimate by more than a factor of 3, in both directions |
Forbidden Dessert | 2-5 | 10y | 45min | |
Guillotine | 2-5 + | 12y | 30min | Could actually have another player or two without too much badness |
Pandemic | 2-4 | 10y | 45min | |
Quiddler | 2-8 | 8y | 90min | |
Qwirkle[*] | 2-4 | 6y | | With modification for my color-blindness |
Road Hog | 2-5 | 12y | 45min | |
Set | Any number | 6y | | Limit on number of players is how many can stand around the table with a good view of the board |
Yikerz! | 2-4 | | est 2-5min | Dexterity game, usually very fast, more than 4 players can work but is awkward |
|
In the above table the columns for number of players, Age, and time
are from the box, if it had that info, except when time is given with
"est" then the box doesn't say and it's my personal
estimate, but I've never measured it.
