Hi all
For the last 4 weeks on a Lockdown Friday evening our 7 family members have played Monopoly round our kitchen dining table. The first few weeks was cool but we’re all getting a bit bored of Monopoly now. Can anyone suggest any other board games suitable for a family group of 7 people?

My daughter discovered a good game for mixed ages - it's called Game Off. We play with the grandchildren so ages range from 13 - 64 and everyone seems to enjoy it. It's not all about skill or just answering general knowledge questions, it has random things like "who has the longest hair", and you are pitted against different people each time according to the roll of the dice. It's available at Am*zon I think, although DD bought it off Eb*y.0

Charades is good fun! And can turn out to be quite funny. 😀The person who says it can’t be done, should not interrupt the person who is doing it.0

Cockroach poker. A bluffing game, very simple to explain, and works well with big groups like your 7 as well.Under a tenner.0

Cards against humanity.
If you don't mind the rude bits which the teens will think is great.
And you're ok to temporarily put your pc ness aside for a while.
In out house even 81 year old Nan joined in although she couldn't bring herself to read out one or two bits. It is quite funny hearing certain phrases from a parent
All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.2 -
Uno - great fun, and cheap to buy. Also, there is a free family version of Cards Against Humanity to download, but I haven't actually looked at it. I spotted an advert for it this morning.

Can see why you are now bored with Monopoly. Its a great board game but if you go bankrupt early its a major drag watching the game continue without you.I 2nd Charades. Used to play it at Xmas when visiting friends and their parents, it would last for hours.0
