The Happy Puzzle Company TAXI
board games - game
One of the best
board games we have seen for many years. Each player is a taxi driver. The aim of the
game is to be the first to collect a certain number of passengers and then drop them off at their destination. There is an ingenious twist. With each turn, there is an opportunity to draw a road sign and position it somewhere on the road network. The other players have to obey the road signs, meaning that you can send your opponents on detours and slow them down! It's a brilliant idea, it works superbly well ...

How to prepare for a Fun Board Game Night
When did you play a
board game for the last time? Do you think it was too long ago? Well, then it s time to get back on track. Just start planning your next
board game night right away. As I happen to love
board games, I m an expert in setting up the perfect
board game night. Here are the 3 big Ws you have to answer in advance: Where? Who? What? Where? To make your

game night with those closest to you. In fact, we at Shopaholic love
board games so much, we ve compiled a short list of our favourites to help you take your family back. Just don t forget the Early Grey and HobNobs. Best use of an imaginary island: Settlers of Catan Why we love it: Umm, let s see

One that matters: The chess set
When I was growing up, I remember playing chess against my dad after dinner and competing in my primary schools annual chess competition. I grew up on that
game and while I cannot say that I play quite as much as I used to, I still find myself coming back to it time and time again. It is one of those
games that will be played for centuries to come. Sadly, chess sets are becoming less popular in the average household. When I was growing up, just 10 years ago, every house I visited had a quality chess set. It is a real shame that the traditional playing
board is losing out in favour of computer versions, but the
game has remained the same. As somebody who grew up playing with the traditional
board game, I believe that every household should have a nice chess set
