Sadly, so many great board games are limited to just 4 players. So what good games are out there that cater for larger social gatherings and require minimal rules explanation and have a short game length (so younger kids don’t lose interest)?
Listed below in no particular order are 10 tried and tested family favourites we continually return to for large social gatherings, be it at home, out at a restaurant, or visiting friends (yes I do have friends…okay they’re my wife’s friends).
All are first rate, easy to learn, quick to start, suitable for young and old, and most importantly, guaranteed to ensure fun times ensue. Enjoy.
Correctly recall the colours of commonplace objects, TV & film characters and well known brands.
“Mmm what colour were the Teletubbies again?”
