Family games to play this Christmas

What better game to play at Christmas than The Very Merry Christmas Game. Move around the board, collect gifts to fill up your stocking, make swaps or steal from others to have the best gifts at the end to win the game.

A fun game for groups of friends, Hitster tests your knowledge of music through the eras. Pick a card, scan the QR code, listen to the song and guess the year it was released. Can you place the card along the timeline correctly to win the game?

Quoridor game

If you like a simple game that challenges your mental strategy abilities then Quoridor is the game for you. Use your wooden tiles to block your opponent or make a safe passage for your piece. First one to get to the opposite side is the winner – it isn’t as easy as it sounds!

Herd Mentality

Think you know the answer to the various questions? Doesn’t matter. What matters is making sure you say the same answer as the majority of players. If you get it wrong, you’ll be handed the pink cow! It’s all about having Herd Mentality!

Junior Colour Brain

Junior Colourbrain is a really fun game and of course there is the original Colourbrain too if you want something slightly more challenging.

Colour brain game

Pick a card, read the description and choose the colours you think match from your selection. Do you know the colours for Pikachu? Can you remember all of the colours in the Spanish flag? It’s not as easy as you think!


I hope this has given you some fun ideas!
