Board games / games for Christmas

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good board game for Christmas Day. Always enjoy family games at Christmas, getting kids off their phones/ tablets /tv etc..
Been playing Linkee last couple of years which is great but would like a change.
Any suggestions?

    Have you seen the video of that custard pie game? That looks a hoot

    Personally though, I don't think you can beat Trivial Pursuit meself
  • I've been plying a lot of Settlers of Catan recently, it's a great game.

    Bang is also a very fun card game.

    If you can get it ... Pie Face. It's the only way to eat a Black Forest Gateaux

    Always enjoy a game of Scattergories on Christmas Day and the ever reliable Uno cards.

    Cards against humanity, but you'll probably want to get that out when the kids are watching TV/asleep

    Exploding Kittens is great fun. Telestrations is a good family party game (pictionary meets chinese whispers). Camel Up is a great game too.

    not a board game but we had linky last year that was quite fun.
  • I would recommend Monolopy Empire, much easier and quicker than the usual Monolopy.

    But does it end with the board being upended and thrown across the room.....?

    We utilised the yes/no game. Brilliantly simple and anyone can get involved

    Pictionary in the dark - a game we made up.

    Turn the lights off. 30 seconds to draw your picture. Lights go on. Everyone shouts.

    I love Monopoly, my wife bought me an old wooden style set a few years ago.
