I absolutely love board games and have quite a big selection. I host board game nights with friends and it always gets quite competitive!

My favourites at the moment are:

  • Taboo
  • Ticket to Ride
  • Scattergories

What are your favourites? I want to add to my collection!

    The kids strongly disagree but Monopoly Sore Losers Edition is a fun twist on a classic.

    Also very partial to a game of Deface Race and Exploding Kittens!

    It certainly does count @Amberpearl! I love scrabble, both the actual board game and the phone app. I've never tried monopoly on my phone, maybe I should. I do a lot of puzzles on my phone, mainly crosswords or word games and I do a sudoku every day. I find it a good way to relax.

    I was introduced to Cards Against Humanity with some friends a while ago. It was funny, as I'm always the quiet one who just smiles when something dodgy is said, but I won by a huge margin 😆

    I'm not sure if it counts as a board game but there's a party game called Telestrations which I've always found hilarious. If you get a good group together it gets silly very fast!

    And we have an old version of Game of Life from the 1980s which is very dated but in a fun way. The choices you are allowed to make are a bit 'of their time' 😁

    Another for Monopoly, but nobody to play with, so I play Monopoly Go! on my phone. In fact, that is the only thing I do on my phone apart from Whatsapp with family & friends, plus ordinary calls.

    Have you tried Rapidough, Pictionary & Balderdash, they're some that we used to play, all a good laugh.
