Hands up who loves board games?
I’ve always been particularly partial to them – I remember sitting round the table playing Monopoly with my dad and sister and brothers when I was little, and enjoying great games of Cluedo with my best friend at her house.
Today I think board games still have a place in the family – it’s a fun way to bring parents and kids together and get them talking to each other. Perhaps that’s a function these games have never had before – they get people communicating in an age of DS, Playstation, XBox and Wii. I know that often the only answer I get from Dot when I ask her a question and she’s playing her DS is “Uuh”.
Board games can be a couple thing too. The number of rounds of Trivial Pursuit I have played with my OH over the years are too countless to mention – and the addition of a bottle or two of wine makes it into a party. Perhaps the less said about the better…
So where am I going with this? With Christmas just around the corner, the lovely people at Drumond Park have given me a copy of their bestselling game Logo – What Am I? to give away to 40s Chic readers.
This board game, worth £25, is all about challenges that players solve by drawing, guessing and describing the answers. It’s for children (and big children) over eight years old and is a fun way to spend an evening, especially when the weather’s cold and wet outside and you’re snugly and warm inside.
To be in with a chance of winning, simply leave a comment below.
(One entry per person; please leave a twitter handle or some other way to contact you, but not telephone numbers and preferably not email; UK giveaway only – sorry; entrants should be over 18 years old; the giveaway closes on 7 December and the winner will be chosen at random through random.org).
