Board game recommendations

We play Upwords, boggle, yahtzee, rummicub, mastermind, mancala, perudo and othello. Apples to apples is great if there are more than 2 of you and Carcassonne is fantastic for something completely different. K.

If you enjoy monopoly but find the original can go on forever the tropical island one is good for a quicker game you do need a dvd player though. If you want group games taboo and cranium go down well had many a [STRIKE]drunken[/STRIKE] good night with friends in hysterics with those two :-)

Another vote for scattergories its brill, Cluedo is also a fave but the SFX one is much better although might need to ebay that one not sure if its about!

Not a board game BUT it's hysterical when you're playing - whether it would work with just 2 I don't know - we have 3 generations playing
Pass The Bomb

you have to say a word with the letter combination on the card - you throw a dice to tell you where in the word the combination may/may not be...after a while desperate people start to mutter complete gibberish...and a plastic bomb incorporating a mystery timer and the bomb is held by each player in turn - if you're holding it when it expodes you lose!

We love Uno!!! Pass the bomb and block Us are also good and Yahtzee. We camp alot so they dont take up too much space and we play them with just 2

Cranium is good - you get to play with plasticine...

Rummikub is fab - I love this, plus you can get word Rummikub as well which you might enjoy if you like scrabble...

Taboo is also great, but different type of game - need 4 people really.

Hi
I hope I've posted this in the right place as I wasn't sure where else it'd go - feel free to move it if needs be!

My DH and I absolutely love playing Scrabble (could probably give Mr and Mrs MSE a run for their money!) We've got a week off together later in the month where we plan to do as little as possible. We've said we'll each buy a DVD and we'll buy a couple of new board games. I think Rummikub (sp?) looks good but are there any others which people can recommend? After a bad experience where a Monopoly game lasted 4 hours one holiday, we're not too keen on that :rotfl:Any other suggestions?

COUNTDOWN!!!! Sooooo addictive! you may have to try ebay or amazon though as ours looks like its from the 80s!
