Although the concept may sound dreary, Wordsearch is one of the most entertaining and exciting games I know of. More details are on the American Amazon.
The game works by putting a word-search onto a circular grid, placing a transparent frame over it and securing it in place with a green circle. To play, you have to find a word and the first person to do so puts their colour counters over it. At the end, the player with the most counters wins. Surprisingly, this game is very competitive and very hard. There are many themes for the game, ranging from countries to colours and none of them take a few minutes to complete!
