Gosh, when I have people round we are amused with wine and gossip! My son has a game called Play the Part, with cards. Each card has an activity which you have to mime for others to guess. There's 4 different activities on each card, colour-coded for difficulty. You can choose difficulty level, or roll the dice supplied to get a colour. Things like tossing a pancake/walking in space/using a mobile phone. Something that is always a hit with children, probably because it is unfamiliar to modern kids is Hunt the Thimble. If you have no thimble, improvise with other object. nell

Even though our son is a teenager, we have a tradition of buying him a board game for Christmas which we can all join in with. Do not - DO NOT - buy Trotters Independent Trading (even if Fools & Horses is your fave programme) unless you fancy losing the will to live. It has got to be one of the most tedious games around, along with Risk. 10 months later and I still haven't worked out the point of the game. TV themed games go down well in our house, Family Fortunes (uh-uh), Millionaire (ahem), Countdown etc.

We've had lots of fun with Pictionary. It's a drawing game. Very good after a bottle of wine. Jo.
