    Had to settle for a few games of Carcassonne and Puerto Rico online as no one here wanted to play with me.

    Played some pass the farting pig game when the 5 year old was around. Just played a couple of games of labyrinth which I would definitely reconmend.

    Ravensburger make some very decent stuff if you can pride the kids off their tablets/PS4/Nintendo switch for long enough for them to interact with the obysical world.

    They may argue that pieces of card and a board are sooooo old school. Well maybe but at least I stand a chance of beating you all sometimes with this sort of game.

    A game called tension, was pretty good, got a set time to name 10 things on a card, with a category given at the start.
    So one we had was salad vegetables and answers on the card were celery, cucumber, lettuce, mushrooms, peppers, potatoes, radishes, rocket, spring onion, tomatoes

    Some are a lot harder though, like 10 dinosaurs or 10 horse films

    This game where you balance wooden balls of wool on a wooden cat. Quite good fun with the kids. I lost, and lost hard. Got a set of "cards against humanity" but might not break that out as a family game just yet

    Ski Jump this year. It was a lot of fun and really easy to play, but sufficiently hard to score big. Feels good when you do a triple flip and land it perfectly!

    We had a busy Christmas with the business, so it hasn't been finished yet. Hopefully this month, but it is now going to be a cabinet.

    Our family played the Passive Aggressive Game where everyone sits around making small talk while quietly simmering over decades long feuds, grudges, perceived slights and misplaced remarks from Christmases past. The winner is the one who manages to wind the others up to the point where a snidey, low volume argument erupts, thus adding to the material for the next family gathering.

    My sister is world class and undefeated in about 40 years now...

    iKnow. Trivia game with a twist, where you bet whether others will get the question right or not. Evens things up for those that aren't so good at trivia. Really good concept and prevented my gf throwing in the towel after the first round.

    Eliminated at the 'Jenga' semifinals due to no show (morning kick off), won the afternoon synchronized swimming, pending urine sample results

    Doing this game where you stick a name on your head and have to guess who you are. Father in law took ages to guess Alan sugar, despite the fact they are basically identical
