Quickshot is a board game released in 2022 for 1–7 players, 5–10 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Seiji Kanai and its main mechanics are Simultaneous Action Selection.
Quickshot is a game for 1 to 7 players that takes places over a series of hands. In each hand, players are dealt five cards. One player plays a card face up, then others play one card each face down. After everyone has played, the cards are revealed and their effects are activated, but first, any cards of the same rank are turned face down again. The card effects may reverse the ranks, cause another player to discard a card, or cause certain players to be eliminated. After all effects are resolved, the person with the strongest card begins the next round by playing a card face up. The leader after the fourth round wins the game. The game ends earlier if only one player remains.
Quickshot supports 1–7 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Quickshot is 5–10 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Quickshot for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Quickshot has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
