Kids have got sacks this year and due to younger ones Santa will be filling them. I’ve got some great little bits to put in my 14 year old ds sack, but I’ve got a board game each for the 3 younger ones and want a teenage one for him.
He spends most of his time either playing football on fifa or playing proper football....I want to get him something that’s going to encourage him to spend a bit of time with the rest of us because we all quite like him Smile
Any suggestions?

What about Yahtzee

Thanks for this thread, have ordered Bang the dice game, and Exploding kittens. Hopefully my 13 yr old and 8 yr old will both enjoy them!

Thank you all so much! I like exploding kittens but I think £20 it's a bit steep... some of the others look great except I don't think he will give up hours of his time to play them - and I kind of want him to not be overfaced if that makes sense?

Pandemic is brilliant, it's a team game too which is good as even if you c don't all understand the game you can all play and help each other.
Many of my favourites have been mentioned but if you think £20 is steep then it's likely that you'll be disappointed when you find out how much they cost!

I don't mind spending the money if it looks like I'm getting something! As far as I can see exploding kittens is like a big pack of cards!

cluedo, you can get themed different editions, like sherlock, harry potter, big bang theory etc. I got my teen one last year and it is played often.

Exploding kittens is a boring rip off for £20 as it is literally a pack of cards (still don’t understand why it’s popular)
