What board game?

Another vote for Articulate. We played it at my DD's last year ages from 12 to 54 and we all enjoyed it. Can be very very funny.

We like most of the games already mentioned but also enjoy Taboo, Outburst and The Really Nasty Horseracing Game (great fun for making enemies!!!)

Well I bought Cranium after so many rave reviews, thanks for all your feedback, and am looking forward to the pandemonium on Christmas Day :T

Articulate and Cranium are good, but our absolute #1 is Balderdash. In a nutshell it requires you use your imagination and vocabulary to come up with outrageous suggestions for the meanings of unusual words.

It really transcends differences in age/intellect/knowledge, my dyslexic friend in particular is a real champ at it which was totally unexpected for a game that is focussed on reading and writing. It has made for many a hillarious get together with family and friends. Cannot recommend enough

Totally agree with you - it takes a few games to get into it, but it is hysterical once you get into the right frame of mind. I have also heard it called 'Bladderdash' 'cos you can wet yourself laughing. I have games nights with my girlfriends and this is one of our favourites. We discovered Pass the Bomb last time which is also great fun - we buy ours from charity shops as so many people seem to get given games and only pay them once or twice - great plundering. I have just bought one called Mid-life Crisis which looks quite good. Perudo (liar dice) is supposed to be very good too. Also, don't forget good old fashioned card games. I have a couple of books of card games and they are great for holidays. My daughter likes playing the Game of Life, but it is quite complicated at first. We also played one with my friends (can't remember the name of it) with a tiny grand piano and you had to name that tune - very funny as you were learning to play the tune as well!

oooh Cranium, brilliant game!

Not a board game but have you got a play station? Buzz is good fun if you like a quiz!

haha thats about right.

The weirdest thing is people who spend a lot of time together often come up with very similar answers, two of my best friends are cousins who live together, and their answers are always spookily similar....
