Uno Card Game

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Family Games
from: Mattel


Great to see the old games coming back. This game is brill for all ages, easy to play and great fun.

Great for after dinner (and a few bottles) when you have friends round. And the best thing about it is it don't take up the hole games shelf and is easy to bung in the suitcase when going on holiday.

Scrabble Original

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Family Games
from: Mattel


This might call itself Scrabble Original, but it isn't. The Scrabble sets I played on as a lad all had wee holes in the board and pegs on the tiles so that the game wouldn't be ruined by the slightest knock. Sadly no more. It also comes in a stupidly huge box to make storage unnecessarily awkward. Disappointing.

Travel Scrabble

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Family Games
from: Mattel


I was looking for a replacement for my travel magnetic scrabble as the letters on that tend to fall off as the glue holding the letter to the magnet melts in the heat. Apart from that, it was a well designed set which was compact and everything fitted into the board when not being used.

This version is much bigger. The board opens on one side (not on both as per other reviewers - maybe they have changed the design) to hold the racks and any unplayed tiles while played tiles can simply remain on the board.

My main gripe is that shuffling the tiles on the rack is not easy as they are quite a tight fit. I m anticipating losing a few tiles before long.

I just bought this for 11 year old twin boys who would normally always prefer the computer or video games ...but they think this is really good and are even willing to get ready for bed early so they can play. What more could you ask for?

Ideal game for 4 really unless you want your guests to leave early! The more you play it the more addictive it gets and the more moves you realise you can make. Highly recommended

Risk

Risk is a world domination game where strategy and luck is a factor. You can play this game for hours, once i played this for 9hrs with 5 friends!
I recommend you buy this game, but be warned, it is very easy to lose the small pieces.

I first played Articulate at my aunt's house with my cousins, and it was so good that we had to buy one for ourselves! No family gathering is complete without a game of Ariculate! It is so much fun and always guaranteed to make you laugh! Buy it now!

Mr & Mrs Board Game

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Family Games
from: University Games


This game is not bad once in a while. It offers the potential for humour not so much in the questions posed (e.g. "what's your partner's favourite ice-cream"), but in the sometimes heated debates that ensue (it was marvellous to see my mother haranguing my father telling him that his favourite ice-cream has always been vanilla (I know you better than you know yourself) when he insisted it was strawberry). This is about as funny as it gets.

Any time you need a little light relief when you're with your family this fits the bill.
