Articulate is brilliant fun

not sure if this game is still available - 'Dirty Minds'. We used to play it down the caravan with another family (we all had kids and played in 'family teams' and it was hilarious). The kids nearly always had the answers as they had 'clean minds' but for the grown ups..........lmao, once the kids all fell asleep and the wine came out - we tended to switch to Trivial Pursuit.

I've heard "Rush Hour" is great:

This used to be a favourite of mine, Go For Broke, it's kind of the opposite to monopoly!

Backgammon or if they can get a real set of tiles, Mahjong can be played as a full game or as solitaire.

So pleased to see this thread!

Got whole family coming for Christmas and was only thinking a couple of days ago that we need a new board game. Very tempted by the Logo game.

They sound like my sis & BIL. Last year I got them Eurobabble and they've found it hilarious http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/43879/eurobabble

"Eurobabble is the ludicrously silly party game of gentle self mockery, stereotyping our European cousins, and whether you speak any foreign or not is almost irrelevant. In fact, the less you understand, the funnier it is. It’s also ridiculously simple:
Can you say in an Italian accent “We have ways of making you talk”?
What is the answer to “Quel est le nom du stade national de football anglais?”
Can you impersonate a children’s television presenter in the style of a Dutch person.
And which is the German word for swimming trunks – Badehose; Schwimmelpanten; Unterwassertrunken
Correct answers win country flags – the first player/team to collect all six, wins.
