Hi
Now I can see there are recommend me a game threads popping up every other day but here goes anyways.
In looking for a couple of games that we can play at Christmas. There's me and the wife and her parents.
We're adults obviously but they will be turned off instantly if the game is a bit si-fi or fantasy orientated.
Anything but the usual trivia **** I have to put up with would be great
Thanks

Ticket to ride europe went down really well with my non gaming parents to the point were taking the original one on holiday to play together.

Others would be:
Carcassone, pandemic and qwirkle are a few lighter games that would go down well if there not big gamers

Camel Up - betting on camel racing.

Take 1 of 4 actions per turn. Simple and quick to play. Camels can move 1 - 3 spaces per round and stack on each other meaning the potential for 1 camel to move a long way!


Ticket to Ride - building train routes across 1900's USA

No Thanks - Score the lowest to win

Take a card or place a token on it to pass. Run out of tokens and you must take the current card. Cards score face value unless in a run in which case only the lowest card counts.


Dobble (Star Wars version just came out!)

Snap for idiots. Each card has 8 symbols on it and each card only has 1 symbol in common with each other. Person who collects the most cards wins.

I know its a tabletop thread, but i think Fibbage and Quiplash are great party games. Can buy it through Steam and everyone uses their Smartphones to connect.

It's part of the Jackbox Party Pack, there are 3 of em.
