Christmas is just around the corner, and it might be the time you start to think about what game to play on Christmas afternoon, so I’ve put together a list of 5 ideas which might be perfect to get out this year to play with all the family.
Taskmaster: The Board Game
Based on the hit show, this game is full of creative and bizarre challenges. Players must complete tasks set by the “Taskmaster” (one player acts as the judge) to score points. From silly physical feats to creative problem-solving, it’s a laugh-out-loud game that will be a highlight of any Christmas gathering. Suitable for ages 8+ this game needs 3+ players.
