    Our family & all we introduce it to love 'Ticket to Ride'. We've played most games but this is one of the best. My son bought it after lots of research & we've gradually added different expansion kits. It's brilliant!

    Just looked it up and I am confused even reading the blurb!

    I know exactly what you mean!!! :)
  • Scattegories is quite amusing but is solely a "word game" (naming things from different categories that begin with a chosen letter from the roll of a die).

    I'd agree with MrsDrink about Cranium being a mash-up, but that's exactly why it's fun. It's different things each round!

    @MrsDrink ... have a look at Khet for a 2 player game. The first few games are like "errrr ... what just happened??" then you grasp it and realise how clever it is, and how it's a real mind game that requires deep thought!

    Taboo is a simple but good fun game.

    A really good game is Ticket to Ride... The original one is based on the USA, but also has Europe one. Its such fun and can be very addictive!

    I love playing our friends' Yahtzee but I wouldn't buy it as all you need is 5 dice and printouts of the scorecards that are easily found on the internet!

    Our family love Balderdash, and a battery operated game where the horses race agains each other on a little track just like tha arcade game, no effort required with that one just pick a colour.


    Happy moneysaving all.

    Oh, if I hadn't already got my OH a birthday present I'd get him that! He loves chess and is a typical boy who loves lazers too ;)
