Spec me a board game for Christmas

Cards against humanity

This, please get this! And invite one of us to be present when you try to explain what bukkake is to your parents !

 

[Russinating]

Don't Get Got. Not a board game as such but a great one for times like Christmas or family holidays.

 

[iamdjdz]

Where do you live? I'm not joking when I say come round for a beer, I'll even bust out cards against humanity

I'll take Diddums place if you're the other end of the country..

Get yourself a Nintendo Wii and some four player games or even some old GameCube games.

Get four controllers and profit.

We always play Uno and Monopoly over Christmas. We have our own rules (obviously) which keeps the game fun whilst not dragging on for too long.

If monopoly is played by the rules, it's a quick game anyway. No idea why people play with house rules. A 4 player game is done in an hour.

especially if you play with someone who spends ages umming and ahhing about what to do!

This is the thing isn't it. Myself, I'm thinking all the different options I'll have when it comes back round to me, so my go is usually quite quick. Then... the next person goes 'right, lets see. Oh... when did this happen' and they're sat there 5 minutes working out a plan! (Or even better, the person that you say 'its your turn' and they go... 'oh, okay. I'm just going to nip to the loo...'. Literally had someone doing this! )

Escape from Colditz was one of my favourites ,showing my age

 

[Monkeynut]

Ludo.

I never really hear of this game being played these days. But back when I was a kid and visited my great aunt and uncle, this would be one of the many board games they would have in the drawers.

This was a big family lockdown game when we were all split up. Used to play it on our phones and on voice chat - was really good.

The Hare and Tortoise - Good Fun, very competitive, adictive, love the game.

 

[Zatoichi.uK]

Hero Quest!

Nobody's mentioned Scrabble yet, a brilliant game and educational too.

Nope, that would spell disaster in our house.

Maybe no one knew how to spell it

Have 9 points for that joke.

Seeing if there’s a board game that meets these criteria:
. Suitable for three players - as some games are only suitable for 4+ players.
. Easy to understand
. Doesn’t drag on forever

My parents and I play board games over Christmas. We have Monopoly, Cluedo and Sorry! Plus cards. Monopoly we just play until a certain time or if one of us is bankrupt.

Not Monooly unless you want arguements.

Biden, Jinping and Putin don't realise that games like RISK and an old Games Workshop game called APOCALYPSE're ONLY BOARD GAMES!

I meant I'd put out a similar offer, in your place, if cheesefest doesn't live near you

Haha I would take up the offer but I'm 4 1/2 hours from Putney and too lazy to just pop out like that!

Get out

Hangs head in shame
