More write ups needed in the comments for these and Scrabble - Twenty Questions - Jenga - Downfall - Go for Broke - Monopoly - Risk or any others.

ReplyDeleteI haven't played Deluedo yet. May I also recommend Fisk in the world politics category, Twister II with extra rules & regulations (health & safety), the new edition of Go For Broke and the not to be missed, long awaited, well overdue, full of promise, launch of Scramble? I think Scramble should be in the shops within the next 100 days.
Twenty Questions - Chilcot edition.
ReplyDeletePlayers must answer the questions without replying with 'Yes - No - or any credible reasons for at all.'
This is brilliant, Bill. Superb.
ReplyDeleteHere's a couple.
ReplyDeleteRabble: it's a riot! Join other environmental activists, union activists and ox-bridge grads in this outrageous game of political protest. Protest Tory cuts, global warming, and capitalism by assembling letters
into words on the placards provided. Score double word points for use of 'Children' and triple word for 'Nazi'.(Self-righteousness not included)
Fisk - the UK border control game of skill and chance. Pat down passengers from all over the world with the aim of total humiliation of your opponent. Landing on erogenous zones is fine but be careful not to profile. And remember if you're going to beat the terrorist you'll need a bit of luck!
One more
ReplyDeleteengla - a game of total economic collapse. Laugh and marvel as players take turns pulling support away from the British economy.
Watch the economy wobble as QE is pulled away, budgets are snatched and manufacturing is removed.
Sometimes you might have to move slowly sometimes fast but just don't be the player in charge when it all come crashing down!!!
Player choices: Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling, Mervyn King, George Osborne and David Cameron.
Jack Straws : Try not to cause any wobbles at all. Ever
ReplyDeleteTwister: The game of Spin. Players read a phrase such as "The inequality gap has increased dramatically since 1997" and have to change it into good news.
"The poverty threshold has risen - The Tories were worse - this government is DETERMINED to end rich people"
{have you noticed how DETERMINED has replaced COMMITTED in government circles recently.
Determined indicates a decision has been reached, but no action taken. Committed is an actual pledge to do something.}
Liar dice: this is tremendously popular in Parliament, particularly on the NuLab benches, if you look carefully you can sometimes see them playing it during PMQs
ReplyDeleteIt brightened up my weekend. But I would rather not think about McBride's bottom, thank you.
ReplyDeleteMark. There is a cheap travel game on Engla called Ding-dong-dell.
ReplyDeleteEach player has a number of tiles shaped like gold bars, with various denominations written on them.
£1 billion - £5 billion £50 billion,etc.
Players take it in turns to throw the bars down a well. When no one has any bars left the game is over.
chumps is not precisely the word I'd use for Mandelson, Bill.
ReplyDeletewho murdered 150k iraqis....other iraqis I'd imagine with a helping hand from other Islamist 'brothers'.

ReplyDeleteFor yahtzee lovers.
ReplyDeleteOh My Godzee - a sex game for Liberal Democrat MPs. Perfect for party conferences and slow news cycles.
Role a dice to determine your gender, a second for your marital status, a third for your addiction/affliction and a fourth to see who you do 'it' with.
Surprise yourself and gob-smack your friends with your unfathomable actions!!!
Oh My Godzee: the cheeky game that no other party can match.
I dont always understand what you're on about over in the serious stuff, but these I loved :)
