Put away that outdated edition of Trivial Pursuit and get your pads and pens at the ready … these are the best recent word games, drawing games, bluffing games and others, to get the whole family involved
It is a terrifying statistical fact that if you have a roomful of friends and relatives gathered at Christmas, you are only ever 20 minutes away from someone suggesting Trivial Pursuit. Don’t become a victim this year – have an alternative ready. Here are my 12 board games of Christmas, some of which I’ve played, the rest suggested by trustworthy pals on X. They’re all suitable for at least six players and there are no overly complicated rules to learn, making them perfect for slightly boozy Christmas afternoons.
If your favourite isn’t included, please do suggest alternatives in the comments.
