Here are the top five games that are sure to get the dice rolling at your family gathering:
Monopoly
Old is gold. This board game made its appearance in 1935 and is still a hit across all age groups. It has since evolved and now comes in numerous editions, including the Cape Town, Mzanzi and Durban editions. There are also themed versions of the game, such as Springboks, Fast ‘n Furious and more. Choose a token, roll the dice and buy hotels, pay rent and trade properties. We would try to avoid going to jail and going bankrupt, though. Purchase this game from retailers nationwide.
90s Music Box Game
If you grew up in the 90s, you’ll probably find yourself saying the music was way better then. This holiday, why not try out the 90s Music Box Game? This general knowledge game will give you 90s music know-it-all bragging rights. There are 20 picture cards and 1 986 questions to answer. It is on sale at Takealot and Toy Kingdom.
30 Seconds
This game is still a firm favourite. If you’re not clued up on general knowledge, this is a fun way to learn about everything. Your teammate will ask you questions from a card and you only have 30 nail-biting seconds to guess the answers. The more you guess correctly, the faster you reach the finish line. It’s basically general knowledge Charades. A booster set is also available. Grab this from Toy Kingdom or Takealot.

After-dinner Amusements: Do You Remember?
