You don't need it to be Christmas, we have loads of bloody board games here, horse racing games the works. Trivial pursuit etc etc etc. I'm a quiz buff, used to run them for our hospital and they were always well supported, put time and effort into them I do.

Horse Racing? The old 30s one you screw to the wooden table and crank the handle so they move forward (or more likely, fall over). Escalado?
