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

These three are extremely simple and fun:

Ghost Blitz

The Mind

Skull

Yes! I think these also fall in the "can be explained within 1 minute" category

6 Nimmt has gotten an extensive amount of play in my group and I think I can explain it from scratch in 45 seconds.

I love all of these. Just looking at Ghost Blitz from the outside makes you think "there's no way this can be fun as an adult" and then proves you wrong
