Board game for adults

[secondhoneymoon]

Christmas will be with young adults (18-25), parents (us) and elderly, prim grandparents (rules out cards against humanity-type games.
We usually get out the good old favourites (Monopoly, Cluedo, Pictionary, Articulate) and we play cards.
Any suggestions for games which will engage all, can't be too complicated or rude cos of older people.
Thanks

Carcassone?

Qwirkle- like scrabble but with colours and shapes
Indigo
Speldour
Ticket to Ride
Diamoniak
Linkee
Sleeping Queens
Ratatat Cat
Sushi Go
Camel Up

All the above I'd recommend for family play. Have a look at Board Game Geek and you can watch reviews to see if the play would suit your family.....

Also Catan, depending on how quickly your group can pick up games

Actually not Diamoniak just re reading the ages of those involved

We play silly games and drinking games. Last year I bought saucy charades which we didn't get round to playing as ds was poorly in the lead up to christmas. This year I've bought pass out, a drinking game. We also play things like kids charades, pie face and trivial pursuit.

We like a mixed bag!

Balderdash! Went down a storm last year with PIL.

I love scattegories!

Mapominoes.

You need a big table though.

Risk
Labyrinth
Jungle Speed

ticket to ride

Thank you all

I buy new games every year but we always come back to don't panic, easy to play and fun.

Dixit without a doubt!

Codenames is also supposed to be excellent, am planning to get that for Christmas. The original version is with words but there is also a version with pictures now.

Actually, Halli Galli is also brilliant for silly fun and lots of laughs - works across all ages.

Another vote for Dixit, it's a lovely game and grandparent friendly

If there are many of you, Dixit Odyssey plays up to 12:

The art is different but otherwise gameplay is the same. (There are also lots of expansions with fresh cards for coming years :-))

Last Christmas, the biggest hits here with ages from 8 to 60s were Dobble and a game from Tesco with kazoos in, and you play name that tune.

Thank you - so many great ideas will be difficult to choose - maybe a new Tradition, this lot will keep me going for years!!

Code names is brilliant. It gets better the drinker you get too

Drunker* thanks for that iPhone!!

Destination
Cluedo (Harry Potter one for us) and
Uno - card game, but easy fun.

Dixit
Logo game
Trivial pursuit - I bet you can't
Balderdash

Exploding Kittens - contrary to what you would expect! - is really good fun and suitable for families. Reckon the 18-25s would love it and you can play it straight or be quite Machiavellian - lots of mock howls-of-anguish when we played it
