our family is not especially traditional except for when it comes to Christmas, and one of those annual traditions is the board game, usually met by groans by some but always ends up being a laugh. A new one is added every year and for the past few years they have been murder, as in murder mystery games. Agatha Christie’s Trivial Pursuits which has the most random questions and we are avid Agatha Christie fans, but these are for real geeks. Then there was the vintage Clue 
video game, a jem of a find on etsy, now this was a classic vintage purchase, luckily we still have a VCR lurking around somewhere and if you’re not amused by the costumes and set then you certainly will be by the acting. For this year there are a number of possibilities which have yet to have been voted on from Orient Express taken straight from Agatha obviously, then there’s the TV detectives of Kojak
, Columbo
or Murder she Wrote? We could all eat lollipops whilst playing Kojak I suppose and have back runs of the show in the background or listen to these records, truly themed game playing. And how exactly does the Columbo game work you move around the board psychologically teases the murderer until the little board piece breaks down and confesses, we’d have to wear macs too? There really are some hilarious vintage board games to collect though, Bride Bingo 
if you’re organising a hen weekend, or What shall i wear for the fashionistas 
and my favourite find ‘ Social Security
...is getting along with people’ where nobody loses! Not sure many of us would agree with that in light of the condition of modern day social security systems.
And just one more thing…
