… Play Nice (please)
With real walls that make it look more like you are inside a labyrinth made of walls, not just lines drawn on a game board! It is being released February 25. I should have a copy by Saturday, March 7.

2 Players // 20 mins // Easy to learn and play
Like a page in a Word Search book … a grid of letters and you try to find words in a straight line up, down, left or right or even diagonal!

Make it a four player game? 32 tiles in one game plus 28 tiles in the other – 60 tiles. Instead of 4×4 with 16 tiles … 6×6 with 36 tiles … each player keeps the same number of markers to start the game (ie, 25 for each player – 26 for first player). Or perhaps two 4×4 grids (32 tiles) and you choose which one to find your word on. Or perhaps 5×5 grid (25 tiles) plus give each of the four players one grid (25+4=29 tiles) to place anywhere on any turn (just like gaining one by finding a word that has letters on 3 or more tiles)
A great quick look at dozens of Word Games (but NOT WordSpot):
And another TEN word games list (again, doesn’t include WordSpot though):
WordSpot game:
1-12+ players // 10 mins // Easy
Easy to learn, setup and play. One person rolls one die and flips one card that everyone uses (so no claiming that you got the bad cards:) Everyone draws the shape shown on the die in the row, column or grid area specified by the card.

OK … when considering games that are easy to play in a Coffee Shop, it seems appropriate to include a couple COFFEE / TEA games, like this. The game fits in your pocket (literally) and needs very little table space. Plus you can play a full game in 15 minutes – about the time to drink your coffee or tea.

Overview:
2-4 players (best with 3) // 30 mins // Easy
When I found out that the coffee shop that I go to (Java Abilities) allows people to play games, I not only created a group of games that would be perfect to play in a coffee shop (quick and easy on a small table), but I included a couple coffee / tea themed games as well.

Overview (from Ryan and Bethany)
2-5 players (best with 3) // 10 mins // Easy
Perfect game to play while waiting for the others to arrive for your game day! Just a handful of dice that you can roll into the box cover so it needs very little table space. Or just put the dice in your pocket or purse so you can play anytime you have a few minutes to spare!
