I want a Board Game for Christmas!

Can anyone recommend a board game (or indeed a game that doesn't have a board) that is good fun to play. It is primarily for the afternoon of Christmas Day and needs to be suitable for a medium sized group (around 10 persons) aged about 18 to 60 ... all of whom would want to feel involved. We usually resort to splitting into teams to play Trivial Pursuit or Scattergories but I fancy a change! Thanks.
Life is like a box of chocolates ... only some people seem to get more orange creams than others!

    We have cranium and haven't really played it properly as we always opt for easier to set up games. Articulate is good fun.

    When someone gets a question wrong, they have to enter their finger into THIS.

  • Another vote for Articulate, we all get quite competitive though
