Geistes Blitz is great, the kids love it (because they usually win). Magic Maze is THE most frustrating game to play with small people. It is banned. Anomia & P for Pizza are now going into stockings this year!
Growing up my favorite game was Scattergories. Also enjoyed The Game of Things later in life, but you really need a large group for that one to be fun.
Shout out to Cobra Paw, made by Banagrams. You have these gorgeous tiles, which contain every paired combination of 6 colored symbols. Each round someone rolls a pair of chunky dice to show the pair of symbols you have to search for, and the first one to claim it (including from in front of a player that has previously claimed it) wins the round.
bananagrams tiles are gorgeous indeed. Though the company's catalogue is largely targeted at kids. I'd love to be pointed towards any games of theirs that have an "adult" appeal like classic banagrams does. Nothing's greater than some quality game components.
So... I've wrote a program to generate pictures of dobble cards using a set of little icons I provide. And now I can generate as many of them for myself as I like. After that I just print them on cardboard and cut them out. The best pet project of my life
Ubongo, Ubongo, they drink it in the Congo... thank you for getting that stuck in my head, Adam. I'll get you for that. Of equal note, thank you for bringing that and Layers to my attention, both have geometry potentials for my own channel down the road. They have been added to my wish list. (PS: See the other comments, I plug 5-Minute Dungeon & Mystery yet again, here in this category more than ever.)
I haven't heard of a few of these. Great list and well described. Pictomania was out of print or hard to get for a while and I forgot about it. Glad it's available now. Some decent ones not mentioned that I have played are Time Arena, Happy Salmon, Pit and Greedy Greedy Goblins but my absolute favourite is Kitchen Rush which is essentially like one of those frantic cooking video games and works extremely well. Galaxy Trucker is a close second though. Vlaada Chvatil is a genius. EDIT: Oh and it's rather strange not seeing players main coloured cabins on the boards in Galaxy Trucker lol.
I know you said "Except Dobble", but that game will always have a special place in my heart, not least because it paid for Christmas 2014 when I demoed it on the shop floor at Hamley's of Regent Street. If you can play a game for 8 hours a day, six days a week, and *not* be utterly sick of it by the end, you know it's a stone cold classic (in this instance, it's the equivalent of his Wrestlemania X-7 match against The Rock)
Fuck: The Game is a good quick reaction game. Everyone has cards but they can't see them. They flip over a card and have to say a word/colour based on what is on the card, but it has to be immediate. So there will be certain cases where the word is "Orange" but it is written in blue and depending on the background you will say either the word or the colour. Other cards have expletives on them, which you have to say, unless it is "fuck". If you get it wrong or take too long you have to pick up all the cards. You win when you have no cards left. Not one for the kids, but great for adults once you've had a few drinks and wanna start shouting "Cunt" at one another without starting a fight :P
Does "Pit" count for this category of games? It's one of my absolute favorites, and it's also one of the few games I don't mind having to explain to others (normally I rely on my more patient friends for that lol).
My favorite is a game called Scrambled States of America. You take turns pulling cards which have information about states such as “Touches Tennessee”. You also have 5 state cards and you have to slap a card that have a state that matches the information on the info card and yell out the name of the state you slap. I recommend it.
What about doing a list of 10 board games that you and your friends can play on zoom or over the internet. Kind of like you all have been doing with codenames and spyfall?
Heck yeah! And so does its new spinoff, 5-Minute Mystery. It's in the name of the games, after all. I have both, full versions, and my whole family is in full debate about which one is better. I will forever sing the praises of both games.
Horrible idea to acknowledge and then put a counter on the number of times you say pizza, worsen even more by the fact it only says +1 and i have to keep the number on my mind until the, even though i know you are going to tell me how many they were anywau

Another excellent video by Adam: I love his humour and approach and always look forward to a new one!

@5:22 did anyone else notice Adam said Jules & Ash.......I smell a Whatculture WrestleTalk reunion
Ghost Blitz sounds so fun! It's like a reverse, deductive version of a card game I bought my son last Christmas called Spot It
Loving the content and you actually said Pizza 14 times
Thanks for talking about Magic Maze, and also, great short description ;-)
So... I've wrote a program to generate pictures of dobble cards using a set of little icons I provide. And now I can generate as many of them for myself as I like.

The best pet project of my life
Some other good ones are
Fuse
5 Minute Mystery
5 Minute Dungeon
Shadows Amsterdam
Flatline
So many good fast paced games!
Thank you, Andy Datson!
Ubongo, Ubongo, they drink it in the Congo... thank you for getting that stuck in my head, Adam. I'll get you for that.
Of equal note, thank you for bringing that and Layers to my attention, both have geometry potentials for my own channel down the road. They have been added to my wish list.

I love Loonacy! Its similar to uno but there are no turns. You play as fast as possible until you're out of cards!
The Galaxy Trucker app for Android is a surprisingly good recreation of the game - though the last level is insane
Favorite quick reaction game is chess... with Luke Owen 😂
Way down deep in the middle of the Congo, the Hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango
I have ghost and it is gr8, it is also the dring smasher, but easy and you can play with kids also.

Jungle Speed: *Spoons flashbacks*
I have never heard of some of them till i first watched this video

Does 5 minute Dungeon count as a quick reaction game?
I'd absolutely say so.

P for Pizza is very fun imo
Jules and Ash? Is your gaming group secretly the WhatCulture B-squad?
Caught that too
You « forgot « the game SET ^^
Wow Picturika must be PISSED
Does Klask count? I would add Klask if it counts.
Did you just invent like 6 names of fictitious games?
You’ve never played Usain Bolt monopoly?
Nope! They're all real!
Probably worth a Google.
@@chwenhoou I know this is late, but was that a The LEGO Batman Movie reference?
I like to use Dobble to make out with people. When the lips or heart gets a match I steal a kiss.
Does calling out the grammatical error in the title quickly count as a reaction game?
ADAM: GAH! Fixed, but furious
Are you Adam from Whatculture?
Looks like the ago really buried this one for some reason 🤔
