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.

Exploding Kittens
This quirky card game is hugely popular and so funny to play! Made for 2-5 players and suitable for ages 7 and up. The aim of the game is simple: avoid drawing the Exploding Kitten card while using other cards to strategise and sabotage your opponents. There’s even a party pack edition which allows you to play with up to 10 players too!.

Trivia Pursuit

Put everyone’s festive knowledge to the test with Trivia Pursuit. It is one of those games where you can choose an edition to suit your gathering, from master editions to decades, Disney and even film-specific options available the choice really is yours. Age suitability depends on the edition and if you have more people than pieces then why not create teams?

I used to be nearly as happy with Trivial Pursuit, which would be my second choice
