| What's the tradition in your house? We never miss Go For Broke. You start with a pile of dosh and winner is the first person who loses it all. Great fun. Happy Christmas everyone! 
 Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. | |

| We have a number of versions of trivial pursuit which usually come out first, my kids are 16 & 18 and a lot better educated than I was so its usually a closely fought game.

| The game I mentioned in the OP is relatively short. If anyone starts to consider anything cerebral or likely to take more than an hour then us old 'uns sneak away for a crafty nap to recharge the batteries.

| Inevitably one of my kids ends trivial pursuit without the result that they wanted (sad face) so then at their insistence we move on to Monopoly.

| Got little ones in the family so played Cleudo the year before last. 6 of us. I was the 5th to go. Guessed it first time. My Dad didn't even get a go. Ruined board games for everyone. We're rolling out Monopoloy (my 6 year old is obsessed) and Ticket to Ride this year. Plus Monopoly Deal (card game, brilliant, even if you hate Monopoly) is always a great go-to.
