The Christmas season is always a good one to get family and friends round the table, dust off the Monopoly set and battle it out for supremacy in the board game classic. This festive season however, why not try something different?
Here are our suggestions of the unique board games you can play over the holidays…
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
One of television's most popular quiz shows, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, has made its way back into the world of board games, allowing players to go head-to-head with their loved ones for a chance at an (unfortunately fictional) £1 million.
Tackling the money ladder, you're given digital lifelines, accessible through a smart device, to help you on your way to the top of the money ladder; do you have what it takes to get to the top, or will your score be sent plummeting with a wrong answer?
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? from Ginger Fox is available now for £29.99 from Smyths.
Michael McIntyre's The Wheel
Based on the hit BBC television show of the same name, Michael McIntyre's The Wheel puts you and your loved ones in the shoes of the contestants hoping luck is on their side, as they aim to take on a variety of different trivia categories, from video games to social media.
Complete with a push-down mechanical spinning wheel that has you on the edge of your seat at all times, this is the ultimate nail-biter for the festive season.
Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel Game is available for £27.99 from Amazon, Argos, John Lewis and Waterstones.
The Crystal Maze
If you've always wanted to be a contestant on The Crystal Maze but never found yourself afforded the opportunity, then now's your perfect time to jump right in! A labyrinth of mind-boggling puzzles and tricky challenges lie in wait for brave adventurers, as you work together with your team to get through four themed time zones.
Will mental games be your thing? Or perhaps you prefer the mystery, skill or physical offerings? If successful, you can claim time crystals, which are essential if you want to claim gold tokens in the furious finale. Let the games begin!
The Crystal Maze Board Game is available for £25.99 from Amazon.
Mr & Mrs Family Edition
Based on the ITV show of the same name, players will be challenged to answer in-depth questions about their partner, friends or family members in this family edition of Mr & Mrs.
With over 300 questions, there's guaranteed to be some people left blushing when all is said and done! Just make sure you don't offend any of those closest to you!
Mr & Mrs Family Edition is available for £13.30 from Amazon.
The Very Merry Christmas Game
All of the joy of Christmas is packed together in this hilarious board game, where you'll collect presents whilst moving around to stuff your stocking. All gifts have a value, but are you going to end up with some luxury pressies, or something a bit naff?
Steer clear of the sprouts and clear your vocals; if you land on the singing space you've got to give your best rendition of a festive song or carol. Whoever has the best selection of gifts when all is said and done can claim the Christmas crown!
The Very Merry Christmas Game is available for £20 from Amazon.
The Really Nasty Horse Racing Game
If you want all of the fun of a 'day at the races' without venturing out into the cold this winter, then look no further! Don't tell anybody who you're betting on and get devious if you want to come out on top; you know that everybody else playing will only be looking out for themselves!
The objective of the Really Nasty Horse Racing Game is to win the most money at the race meeting, by getting your selected horse placed either first, second or third, by placing bets on other winning horses. But don't miss out on utilising those mischief cards! Creating havoc is key...
The Really Nasty Horse Racing Game is available for £19.99 from Amazon.
