Want to liven up your next game night? Looking for a game that’s easy to learn, quick to set up, and that works for many different ages? If you want to bring the excitement to your next game day with family or friends, try one of these fast-paced options and let the fun begin.

A Game of Cat and Mouth: The creators of Exploding Kittens have harnessed the feline fun yet again. In this simple game of flinging balls, two players compete to be the first to get all the balls of the same color on their opponent’s side of the board. Use the magnetic paws to flick balls through the cat’s mouth. But watch out for the tricky black ball that masquerades as a nose. If it falls on your side, you lose the round. Keep count with the rotating cat’s eyes and be the first to reach five to win the game. All ages can play this short game, and family members can take turns competing in tournament style so everyone gets in on the fun.

Throw Throw Burrito: Kids will love throwing their food in these epic battles in this matching card game. Collect cards that match to earn points. Avoid getting hit by flying burritos during brawls to avoid losing points. The player with the most points after two rounds wins the game, though the soft squishy burritos provide the real fun rather than any sort of score.

Five Minute Mystery: If you want a quick cooperative game, this selection won’t disappoint. Players work together to search for shapes in a scene. Then they can reveal a clue and eliminate suspects. Narrow down the hunt in the time limit allowed to win. The game comes with multiple challenges at different levels, making it great for families or siblings of different ages to play together.
