I am glad to know for sure now that I definitely do not want to be in charge of a cult. The art in this game is in a two-color woodblock printing style. Besides Borderlands, which you can play on basically everything, the rest of these I played on my Windows laptop.

Some are also playable on Macs, and a couple might even have mobile ports Mini Metro does, for sure. What are you playing lately? What should I be playing? How do I make a giant cat stop scratching my videog ame chair? Sarah lives in the Boston area and plays a lot of video games. Her interests are cats, bragging, and foods that can be eaten lying down. She has too many sneakers and not enough pants. Both are colony building games and super addictive.

And then I saw my 5th grade students playing it the other day and that made me really happy too. Borderlands 2 is such an awesome game! Borderland 2 is a gem!

Borderlands 2 My girl likes to murder all the time. I really want to incriminate this boy. Excuse me? I am winning, i promise! The cards in hand are then passed to the left, simulating a conveyor belt. Once again, players chose a card and reveal it. This signifies the end of a round. Scoring of your plate depends the type of sushi cards, each representing a slightly different scoring method.

Pudding cards are scored at the end. Once the scores a tallied for the round, the used sushi cards except pudding cards are discarded, and each player is dealt a new hand of cards.

The same process is repeated for all three rounds, the scores are added up and the player with the most points at the end of the game wins! Kids can learn how to play very quickly, and the constant rotation of cards makes it very dynamic. Looking for the complete rules to play Sushi Go? At its root, Kingdomino is a tile building board game that is based on aspects of dominoes the game, not the pizza chain.

The goal is to build a 5 x 5 kingdom around your castle and earn the most points based on the number of connected terrain territories. Similar to dominoes, the objective of the game is to collect and connect similar tiles, which consist of different types of terrain. The more terrain that is connected, the more points you are awarded. Each round of play consists of drawing 4 tiles, followed by placing meeples on the ones you want.

But, selection of tiles happens in a particular order. The player on the lowest ranked tile moves his meeple onto a newly drawn tile to select their next tile. The meeple on the next lowest ranked tile is moved onto the new tiles and the old tile placed in front of whomever meeple color it was. Once all four meeples are moved to the new pile, four new tiles are drawn and the process is repeated. The tiles are place around your castle tile and can only span a maximum of a 5 x 5 grid.

At least one of the terrains need to match where it is placed. If the terrain does not or can not match, or there is no room to add a tile without going beyond the 5 x 5 limit, the tile is discarded. Some terrain tiles contain a crown symbol s , which is extra important for scoring. Each crown on a connected territory counts as a multiplier. But, territories only count for points if at least one crown is present.

Constantly struggling between selecting the highest earning tiles and being able to pick new tiles first makes Kingdomino a legitimate grudge match. The low set-up time, simple rules and high re-playability makes Kingdomino a great board game to play with people a low attention span. Looking for the complete rules to play Kingdomino? The concept is essentially the same however, it relies on cooperation and playing the right cards to win.

And since table talk is strictly enforced, any sort of strategy discussions is penalized. It makes for a fun board game for anyone who has a low attention span, especially young children. Two sequences of the same color win the game. At the beginning of the game, each player is dealt a specific number of cards depending on the number of players.

Team mates sit across from one another around the board and work together to create sequences. During a players turn, they remove a card from their hand and play it face-up on the discard pile. A marker chip is then placed on the corresponding card on the game board.

Once a card is played, you must take a card from the draw deck. But, if you forget to take a card before the next player finishes their turn, you forfeit your opportunity to gain a card. The reason this game is appealing is because there is so much color, and so much stuff everywhere.

I once played the game while someone watched excitedly, shouting each and every item I picked up. That was enough to entertain them. The music is also pretty spectacular and all over the place. The majority of the levels are super short, and moving onto the next level takes no time at all. The music is infinitely memorable too, which certainly helps keep your attention.

Levels move along quickly, and you are constantly exploding yourself to navigate the levels, which never seems to get old, even after two games. The single player is a series of giant explosions and often literal train wrecks that demand your attention, and you never have to get lost or explore. Just follow the guy in front of you and shoot anything that moves until the next crazy thing happens. On the multiplayer front, games are quick and rewarding, and the scenery is changing every round.

Super Mario Galaxies — Mario has always been a friend to the short attention span gamer with its memorable music and simple yet utterly fantastic gameplay. Both of the Mario Galaxies exemplify this by offering tons of levels that can be beaten in a few minutes and the option to leave and check out new areas pretty quickly. Geometry Wars — Geometry Wars has made appearances on many consoles, both handheld and big screen, but the best version still exists on its original home, the Xbox There are lots of pretty colors and lights, tons of explosions, and you can knock a good game out in well under an hour.

The city is your playground, and you can do whatever you want, and the tools available to you are absurd and destructive. There is a story in the game, but who cares about that when you can shoot explosive electric bullets from a handgun? Skyrim is a huge RPG with a wide range of goals that require a hefty time investment. It can be very intimidating to the gamer with the short attention span.
