Quorum
Quorum is a satisfying half-hour filler with teeth: smart drafting and combos without turning into chaos. It does not quite reach the fuller small boxes from Devir for me, but it is certainly not forgettable.

Near the end of this long list, Quorum landed for me as that nice, quick game you can easily put on the table, yet one that is not merely there to fill time. It is a half-hour filler, only with a few teeth—just enough that I do not feel like I am playing on autopilot.
Its core is a draft of 12 cards. I pick my cards with the aim of building the best possible “point salad,” chasing the links and combos that will work together in my favour.
The god cards give the whole thing a more distinctive, almost divine flavour, because they affect scoring multipliers. That means the drafting is not completely random: there is room to think about what I am building and how I can make the best use of what has passed through my hands.
I find it clever and pleasantly busy, without drowning in its own fuss. For me, that is exactly the “just enough” I want from games like this. I definitely prefer Devir’s fuller small boxes, such as the epic Red Cathedral, but Quorum is by no means one of the bad ones.
