Best Christmas Board Game

[pasty]

The Really Nasty Horse Racing game is great fun, and sure to get any family kicking off no matter how passive! knock someone off just as they get to the finish line, odds on where you start etc. Great fun.

Horse racing reminds me of one of my favourites from when I was a kid.

Anyone remember......

Operation.

Every bloody year we play it and the same person wins (not me). I just hope the battery's flat so it's out of action. I've never got the apple in the throat which is worth the most points I think.

Balderdash and Trivial Pursuit are classics - especially Balderdash which can be very funny!

Scene It is also a decent game for the movie watchers out there.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

This year we've bought Buckaroo and Operation for my daughter with mouse trap up next year.

For the flakies its Triv..... quite hard to play with both Turkish cards and English cards.

Back at home it would have been cranium..... my wife ahtes it though.

Wembley anyone ? My version dates from about 1972, and I remember amending it over the years as Albion went up to the top flight...............

"Sorry" is always good for very mixed ages, but for the competitive it has to be Settlers of Catan

Lose Your Shirt always crops up over Christmas, as does Uno and Whot - although Whot should be called "Oh for fucks sake, who played Stars!"

 

[The Fifth Column]

Carcassone, Risk, Monopoly

 

[The Brighton Bear]

Lose Your Shirt always crops up over Christmas, as does Uno and Whot - although Whot should be called "Oh for fucks sake, who played Stars!"

Articulate (or Articulate for Kids) is great, where you have to describe a word without actually saying it. It's yellow and bendy and monkeys eat them ...

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Rapidough is quite fun.

 

[Binney on acid]

Cludo.

 

[Binney on acid]

Or even Cluedo.
