Switch the TV off (everythings on record anyway). We play Trivial, Dingbats, Dominoes, jigsaws etc. I buy old games in charity shops. Makes for a nice evening without having to think of work and so on. Still hoping to play the Dr Who Time Game and the Da Vinci Code game soon (bought 2 copies of each cheap) and a new Lego Pyramid game. Failing that, get a child's colouring book and some felt tips. Go Retro, you can dress up if you want and serve appropriate food. Good night in which doesn't cost much. Am I sad or what?

Whether people actually play them, of course, is another matter ;-)

(PS: Living on my own, and with no close social circle, I don't get the chance to play any board games these days, but I used to like Cluedo. I've also enjoyed playing Monopoly and Trivial Pursuit. I've only played a couple of games of Backgammon but I think that I could get into it. I was also one of the first people in the country to acquire the British Chess Federation's 'Regional Coach' award).

Me and dad can beat mum at trivial persuit. But we are planning on getting a newer version as some of the geography answers are countries that don't exist or in sports the answer no longer stand as someone has won wimbledon more times since etc.
We also play monopoly and cards in the winter if there's nothing on tele.

Yes we do, although Mr Jules and son are not too keen, but can be persuaded at family gatherings like Christmas. DD and her friends at 18+ all play and love Articulate and Monopoly. I received the new Monopoly Revolution as a Christmas gift and we had fun playing the old favourite with the new twist (still took just as long to play though!)
I feel quite deprived if i don't play chess every day. Since there is no local chess club
i am obliged to play the game against the computer. I realise that i'm addicted, but I
need to get my blood-chess level topped up regularly.
Why chess ? Because it's the finest game in the world, and it prevents the onset of pre-senile dementia. I like Bridge too, but that's not a board game.....
