Some games are played in real time; that is, the amount of time it takes to play the game is similar to what it would take in real life. Generally, these games are very quick and meant to be played without much reflection. Here are my picks for the best real-time games.
1. Brawl
Brawl is a card game in which players try to beat each other up. Once you know the rules, each game takes less than a minute. Brawl appeared in the 2000 Games 100. For two players.
2. Fightball
I saw a preview of Fightball at Origins 2002 and that was enough to convince me that it belongs here. A kind of futuristic football, players are trying to score points while also knocking their opponent out of scoring position. For two players.
