games with less waiting times

[rashes1]

Hi, I've noticed 6 Nimmt having very less waiting time (a few secs usually) as compared to any other game I've played on bga so far. Even ticket to ride and it's a wonderful world also have decently low waiting time.

Are there other popular games like that with very low waiting time that I can explore? upto a min I would say...

TIA!

I'd say look at the list of popular games: https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist?isPopular= or check the Play Now page https://boardgamearena.com/lobby to see which of your favourite games have currently an open table.

You can do better than just trying to find a list of games that might have less wait time.

Click "Play Now" in the top banner. Select "simple game" and "real time" and "Manual". Then scroll down and you can choose to view all open tables for the games you know, or all games further down. Only games you can join will show unless to ask to see the ones you can't join. You can see who wants to play what game and is waiting

That will work great for two player games (or any games with any number of players as long as you are the last person to join), the game will start as soon as you join, as long as the person who started the table is actually there (which is not always the case). But games waiting for a large number of players may still have a long wait time.

If this person is offline, you can enter the game and kick them (in the old lobby on the Play Now page, I don't know how the new lobby on the game page handles that).
