Rapidough - like Pictionary except you have to mould the clues out of playdough. Can be played with teams of mixed ages - no-one gets left out. My six year old nephew was ace at this! The first team to guess the clue takes a portion of dough from each of the other teams making it harder for them - if you could have seen my (slightly squiffy) brother trying to mould 'Paris' out of a piece of dough the size of a pea! lol Magsx |

We have played Risk for years and love it,there's lots of different ways you can play,also Escape from Colditz.A good card game that can involve lots of people is Pit,it's very noisy.We like Uno as well. I've enjoyed reading about everyone's favourites as it's always good to have more games. Wendy |

I love Lexicon! It's a card game a bit like scrabble. You have to spell words. Educational and entertaining! becx |

A great group game is "Taboo". We have spent many hours laughing playing the game. Rummycube that someone else mentioned is good also. I don't know if you can get it in the UK, but Rummoli, a card/board game is also very good. It can be played by adults and kids. Yahtzi a dice game is great for children and adults. |

We still love Cluedo. When it came out first we were very poor. Lots of littles and no money for extras. One of our elder twins borrowed it from a friend and made us a copy. Probably shouldn't have said that. We played with our home,made set for years Rose on the Island |

Can't think of any additional board games but why not play pass the parcel with amusing forfeits (usually involving alcohol!) scattered randomly amongst the layers of wrapping. Andy (still a bit of a student at heart) |
