Short Board Games for Big Groups (Under 30 Minutes)

Perfect for when you want something truly quick that still feels satisfying.

Great shortform social deduction when you only have a few minutes per round.

Scale down the grid and point target to make it a sharp 20-minute game.

Nice short “puzzly” break that still works well for groups.

Use lean setups and quick rounds to make it a punchy 25–30 minute experience.

A great “slightly more gamey” option that still fits around the 30-minute mark.
