Busta Rhymes is an unstoppable movement
Played king of new york yesterday with the family. Thought it was very simple once we got the hang of it. The instructions were a bit intimidating to start with.
I'm going to stop buying games now though and play the ones we have a bit more.
To be honest Cluedo is the one I've probably been most impressed with. However non-hipster of me it is to say that. Really simple on the face of it but loads of depth and scope for playing tricks on other players.

Never played KoNY. If you like solid family games that don't require serious amount of set up or are easy to learn check out Spyfall!

Will do. We played another 3 games of KoNY yesterday. It's really quick and fun but works better with 3 or more than with 2. Some of the powers are quite cool, does feel a little bit like it's all over just as you're getting started though.
Maybe.

What tricks can you play?

Keep track of which cards are in your hand as opposed to what other people have told you. If you have a theory about which combination is the answer then you can go to a room which you have the card for, or a weapon or person (or two of those) and then add in the one you're not sure about. If nobody has it then you know that is the correct answer. The side effect being that the other players then think that the room and weapon that you're holding in your hand could also be the answer as they just hear that nobody has any of those cards.
Then do the same thing next turn but with completely different cards.
It's a game about what the other players are doing and trying to keep them off the track, as much as finding the truth out yourself.

You can also tick off cards without seeing them if you keep a track of what other people have asked for. I used a (fairly) simple mark up system for that once, but I haven't played for ages and would have to give it some thought again.

Sounds fun, I like a good light fun game, helps variate things on those evening when you play a heavy ass war game!

Great idea, it's fab fun to pull out with folk who are into it. However, watch out for some of the typos as they can really bugger up an evening. I think the most recent reprint (the third maybe?) might have got rid of a few, but best to check.

And another one, although this time my wife ordered it after hearing me rave about it. One game and she was like "I like this!"

Has anybody played this?
Kingdom Death: Monster is the £300 board game borne from bloody nightmares
Looks amazing. There is a Kickstarter on at the moment for an updated version. It's raised over 5 million dollars in two days.
The basic set is $250 and with "basic" upgrades you're looking at $750.
Kin hell..

We've spent a happy Christmas evening playing Tsuro, everyone from the two-year old to my 70-year old dad had had a go.

Ah thinking about getting on the brink! Other than the fifth player does it actually add that much to the base game?[emoji848]

Iirc it makes it quite a lot harder. Been playing pandemic legacy recently and that's really good too.
Got Hive for a friend's Christmas present, played a few Games, seems like a great 2 player game, short (20-30min) and with some decent tactical depth, interesting to play.
