Re: Board Games

mexican train dominoes is good fun, and suitable for most ages

mah Jong is a great game as well, but pretty complicated to learn

Frustration is a pretty good game for kids and adults.

Risk is the greatest game of all time of course.

Re: Board Games

Dixit is a great game for kids, gets their imaginations going and is good fun

space team is good

castle panic is good if you have some bad winners/sore losers in the household, as you all play as a team and all win or lose together.

likewise pandemic, which is good but a bit too complicated for younger ones

Bit too complicated for older ones too, in my case :xmashehe::old:

Re: Board Games

Would add another vote for Dixit. Great imaginative game for kids and grownups , very easy rules and leads to some great lateral thinking .

A good family one for slightly older kids too is Camel Up. It's like a night at the greyhounds but more family friendly.

Some other favourites for older kids : King of Tokyo, Quacks of Quedlingburg , Colt Express and Takenoko .

Chance & Counters on St Mary Street is a useful place to pop into to try new games out. Loads of games to try and fully licensed too :)

Re: Board Games

Not a "board" game, but "Shot in the Dark" is a good quiz game, just a pack of cards.
You don't have to be a quizzer for this, the questions are "off the wall" - most answers will be guesses.

Agree with Dixit mentioned above.

Just ordered that, looks good fun

Re: Board Games

Snakes and Ladders. Me. my wife and boy (He's 20) still play it sometimes just for a laugh. 3 Lives each and £1 in the kitty for each game. We stop when someone runs out of money. It's great fun specially when everyone is trying to blatantly cheat!!

How much each do you start with? £2000/£3000?
