Quoted from onetaste:the best of the lot - Sinbad! You can have an awesome game in sub 5 minutes. Sinbad is my favourite game when really good players get together. No 15 minute ball times, whole 4 player games can be over in 10 mins, with everyone having fun.
True that. I traded my first Sinbad thinking it was too simple (not easy), and I would get tired of it, but that was the very reason I needed to get another one. Simple to learn, hard to master games are the perfect compliment to deeper mode-based tables.
I would also add Flash Gordon. Games are fast, explosive, and exciting from the first plunge to the last.
