Should I get H Othello for Christmas???

[Yurtgirl]

X DH wants a family game as his christmas gift this year - (we get on well and will spend christmas together, bizarre I know, long story)

Anyway, I am wondering should I get him Othello. I dont want to spend much, cheapest I can find online is 13.79 plus 3.50p&p

I cant decide! To me (on a budget) that seems quite a lot for a game that has been around for donkeys years

Oooh dilemmas - trivial I know but I am not in a decisive mood.

Othello is a funny game - very simple to learn but very difficult to master.

My recommendation would be Pass the Bomb - that seems to go down really well with most people. When our 2 were little we made up some spacial 'easy' cards for them so they could play on level terms even though they were beginner readers.
