Got a short holiday coming up- ( UK, nowhere hot) - and I know I'm going to end up packing the same old games we always play. But I'd like to think we had something different, something new. So what can you wonderful, helpful people recommend please? Ideally nothing too cerebral but anything involving moderate movement or acting or when we're just lounging about, all ideas welcome. Many thanks.

If it's significant it's going to be me and hubby plus three children, two of whom have partners. Nobody particularly shy but we (ie I) don't really do complex strategy games ( hence I didn't really get on with Catan although maybe I was too tired when we've tried it).

Scrawl is excellent

It’s a phone based game but HeadsUp is brilliant

@dancingqueen345 thanks that looks just up our street. Going to try and get hold of that. Cheers !

Do you like card games - we play Canasta, shed and 13 card brag.

We also love Catan, Scrabble, Yahtzee and banana grams.

@Neverenoughbiscuits yes I know I've played canasta a long long time ago and enjoyed it. I'll look up how to play it and shed and 13 card brag. Since my husband got into poker somehow I've started to think I can't play cards. Silly I know. Thanks for the suggestions.

We've really enjoyed the Traitors card game recently- if you watch the show.

Our lot like:

Codenames
Dixit
Dobble
Pit (if you don’t mind shouting)

We also like Catan, Ticket to Ride and Dominion if you want any of those type of games.

@Tigerlilian Thanks for these. I've forgotten about Pit. We all used to love that. I'll look up Dominion and Ticket to ride. Many thanks

@Racingadmin Thanks, yes spoons looks like the kind of thing we'd all love. Thanks very much. Looks right up our street.
