What games are you most looking forward to playing with your late teens this Christmas?

[loveyouradvice]

Just that really - looking for inspiration beyond Charades and the few board games we have in the cupboard.

Ready to buy things - or be inspired by yours¡

Catan! It's brilliant.

Oh, and also Sequence is very good.

Articulate! It’s SO much fun.

Or download Heads Up to your phone?

Cards Against Humanity is hilarious but it really depends on your family dynamic as it’s definitely not suitable for everyone.

Ooh following

What's your AIBU?

Catan and Tokaido

The "how can I receive this box of chocolates as a gift for me, and manage to actually keep them for me" game...

Century golem and mice and mystics are the 2 I’m most keen to play this Xmas

Ion, it's a great tactical card game. We all love it.

Soundiculous was a surprise hit with my teens in the summer. It’s such a simple premise - you get a card and have to make the noise of the thing on the card, but watching people’s faces as they try to imagine how they’re going to make the noise, and then trying to work it out is actually hilarious. We also enjoy poker together -DS2 was 15 this year and had a gang of friend round for a poker game. We bought a trophy and a couple of prizes to add a bit of fun.

We also bought a big whiteboard for Pictionary, which adds a bit of fun to it.

I love heads up and am buying articulate this year as a present for us.

Cards against Humanity is just brilliant for us.We have older teens and have such a laugh. The kids hate that(understandably) dh and I have a very similar sense of humour so they think we gang up a bit. I do find my son's responses hilarious too - he is an utter introvert but such a funny guy.

If you think Cards Against Humanity might be a bit much, Apples to Apples has a similar vibe and can be much more PG but still made absolutely hilarious.

There's a book on House Of Games that looks fun.

Truth Bombs - great game, we all love it

Last year i printed out a quiz, which was excellent fun

Interpreting the question broadly to include my friend's teens as we don't have any... Catan; Ticket to Ride; Pandemic; Dominion; Carcassonne. My favourite of those is Pandemic because it's co-operative which I like. All quite strategic but not too complicated. I'm not a massive fan of tech-enabled games but I am thinking about getting Pictionary Air because that looks hilarious. Slightly more wordy games - Sussed, Balderdash and Chameleon are all good.

Making notes for some new games to try.

We got Codenames out and played that last night at the request of dd1(15). That’s a great game, always makes us laugh.

Yy to Pandemic

Camel Up is fun to play in a larger group.

Bop It

I bought Pictionary Air after watching the Phillip Schofield show (can't remember the name) all about good games and gifts at Xmas.
Same as Pictionary but it's a pen you use for the iPad. You draw in the air and the picture comes up on the screen on the camera. I hope that makes sense

Pie face and Cards Against Humanity (very much older teens and twenty somethings!)

Does pictionary air only work on ipads?

Mexican train... Its strategic domino's
Adored by my teens and young adults.
Its fast paced which helps keep everyone interested.
