Board Games

[Barmaid]

We have recently rediscovered Trivial Pursuit (I'm 3 ahead so that's OK!). We really have enjoyed evenings by the fire with this. Finding other question sets has proved a bit difficult (we are getting to the stage where we remember all the answers lol).

What other board games are there out there? Things where you can use your brain would be good. Neither of us can stand Monopoly or Cleudo. Any recommendations?

And dont even think about Twister!!!! lol

Scrabble

[Islay]

Codenames
Cards against humanity (warning bad language and bordering offensive content)

chess but thats for two players, draughts also for two, but worth looking into, scrabble. Mah Jong is a good game to use your brain. I have mine on the laptop

Chess, Draughts, Connect four.

Yahtzee...

We like Scattergories and the brilliant Articulate.....gives us a laugh.

[horseshoes]

Yahtzee is my favourite.

Pictionary.

[Tilly2]

Articulate is great but you need more than two players.

[ummmm]

Pictionary is hilarious if you've had a few pops...

Balderdash

Based on call my bluff. Great fun even for kids.

If you like numbers, BM Rummikub is good....x

^ Agree about Pictionary. And Taboo. We had some very drunken nights with those games in another life. You need more than 2 players though

Some great ideas, there will only be 2 of us tho.

[Tilly2]

Invite the neighbours .

And when you've had enough of using your brains and more than enough to drink end the evening with Whack a Mouse..... :-)

[Cloverjo]

Backgammon. Reversi, Othello or Go.

[melv16]

Back scuttle is a good game for two ;-)
