4. Put your artistic talent to the test with Pictionary
Drawing has always been one of children's favorite hobbies, so why not turn it into a board game for Christmas? With Pictionary combine creativity and fun in exciting challenges to guess the subjects of the various contestants' drawings, in most cases more similar to works of abstract art than the object they are supposed to represent!
5. A creative Christmas with Dixit
Developed in recent years, Dixit has certainly managed to gain a large audience of loyal fans in a short time. If you're unfamiliar with it, the game consists of an imaginative comparison between participants starting from a phrase and a series of illustrated cards. Two ideas enough to bring out the most bizarre inventions!
6. Cards as a solution for a thousand different games
A deck of cards offers hundreds of different possibilities for having fun with friends and family. Among the card games to remember at Christmas are the inevitable sette e mezzo, trentuno and saltacavallo, but you can also organize tournaments of scopone, tressette, briscola, burraco and many more!
7. Uno, perfect at any time of the year
Still speaking of cards, Uno is a game that is good for any time of the year, from summer to winter, but which lights up with the most exciting competitions during the Christmas holidays. Every family has stories of relationships abruptly ended under the tree with blows of +2 and +4!
8. Dice and bluff: the challenges of Perudo
To bring a pinch of gambling to your Christmas, try Perudo. It is a pastime based on dice and raises based on a system of bluffing and psychological strategies. We recommend this as a board game gift for Christmas if you know someone who particularly loves poker and its variants.
9. Test your knowledge with Timeline
Looking for Christmas gift ideas with board games that are also educational? Timeline is a great way to learn something new without sacrificing fun. Each participant receives a certain number of cards based on how many people are playing. One side features historical or cultural events, from the moon landing to the release of some famous films, and the other shows the exact date of that event. During each round, participants place the tiles one at a time along a timeline and then turn them over to see if they've guessed the correct moment.
10. Cluedo's Mystery Christmas
Get ready for a Christmas murder mystery dinner with Cluedo. A timeless game inspired by Agatha Christie's detective novels that continues to entertain families and groups of friends. Its mysterious murders to solve provide ever-new thrills and unite entire families in exciting investigative challenges.
