Extremely simple but fun games (sh.itjust.works)

When I opened this review for a game called Hundreds of Horses, I expected to have a good laugh about an awful game. The first two sentences:

It’s like a less-complicated Dixit. And all horses.

However, the author is actually fairly positive! It's clearly not a "hobby game" and not meant for hobby gamers, but it works and can be fun. What other games fall into this category? I'll nominate:

  • Happy Salmon. What's more fun than high fiving and running around a table?
  • Spot It: Reverse spot the differences. Pure reflex game that can be explained in ten seconds
  • Time's Up!: Describe something, describe it in one word, and charades. Practically always a hit

We sometimes use Strike to decide the first player in the "real" game we are about to play. Who doesn't like smashing dice into each other.
Zombie Dice and Martian Dice are simple push-your-luck dice fun.
