Halli Galli is a speed action game in which players watch for sets of exactly five fruit. The deck contains 56 playing cards showing four kinds of fruit in groups of 1 to 5 and a bell of the type found at hotel reception desks.
The deck is distributed evenly between the players. All players hold their deck face down and take turns dealing one card face up in front of them. As each player reveals her next card, the instant you see a total of five of one kind of fruit on the table, hit the bell. If you're correct, you pick up all the played cards and put them into your deck; if you're wrong, you pay the other players one card each. When you run out of cards, you're out. When two players are left, they play until the bell is struck once more, then the game ends and the taller deck wins.
Keep in mind that a five-of-a-kind can occur both when cards are revealed and when they're covered. If, for example, cards showing 3, 1 and 4 bananas are on the table and the 3 is then covered by a non-banana card, suddenly five bananas are showing and somebody better be reaching for the bell.

CLACK! is both the name of the game and the sound that the magnetic discs in the game will make when you slap one against another – and slap them together you will as you're trying to claim the right discs as quickly as possible.

Haim Shafir and Jeanie Gadish's RinglDing takes speedy pattern-recognition games to a fashionable new level.
To set up the game, players place a bell in the center of the table, shuffle a deck of cards, and lay out 72 elastic hair bands within reach of all the players. One card is revealed, and players race to assemble the right combination of hair bands in the right order on the proper fingers of one hand.
The first player to hit the bell with the band-bedecked hand wins the card – if the bands are placed correctly, of course. If the player goofed, then the player not only doesn't claim a card; he loses a card previously claimed. The first player to collect five cards wins.

In Speed Dice, players want to create words quickly from the letters that they roll on their dice.
To set up, each player takes eight letter dice in a single color; place the box with the dice funnel in the center of the playing area. In a round, all players roll their eight dice, then race to use exactly seven of them to create a single word or two words connected crossword-style.
Once they do this, they throw their final die into the box. If their die lands at the bottom of the funnel, they take the trophy disc (from the side of the table or from an opponent) and place it silver side up. If the player who won already has the silver trophy, they flip it to the gold side. If the player who won already has the gold trophy, then they win the game!

Speed Cups² can be played on its own with two players, but it can also serve as an expansion for Speed Cups, which then allows for play with up to six players.
In this game, each player receives a set of five plastic cups, each a different color; a deck of 24 cards is shuffled and placed face down in the center of the table next to the bell. One player flips over the top card, which depicts colored objects – trains, birds, cups, etc. – stacked vertically or horizontally, then everyone tries to recreate this colored sequence with her own set of cups. The first player to do slams the bell, revels in the soul-brightening "ding", then (if correct), claims the card. Someone then reveals the next card, and the players start shuffling cups once again.
In Speed Cups² you don't only have to arrange your cups in horizontal and vertical stacks, but you also have to make different stacks!

There's a big mess on the table! Who can clean up the cards the fastest, while also lining up cards that match one another?
In Kuddelmuddel – German for "hodgepodge" – players try to put together chains of cards in order to score points. To set up the game, the players scatter the 80 cards in the deck face down on the table and place the bell within reach of all players. Everyone then simultaneously starts looking at face-down cards one by one. You can place the first card you see face up to start a row in front of you. To place another card next to this first one, whether on the left or right, the newly placed card must have at least one image in common with the card already in place.
As soon as a player has seven matching cards in a row, she rings the bell. If she goofed up, she sits out the round until another player creates a row; if she did everything correctly, she scoops up those cards and places them in a pile beside her while all other players reshuffle their cards into those that remain on the table.
The game ends whenever the last card is taken from the center of the table. Whoever has collected the most cards (i.e., rows) wins!
