Any ideas for a board game for a weekend get together.

Real mix so need something that will keep teenagers, avid board game fans and some people who don't give a shit about board games happy. Any help appreciated

We took Space Base on holiday with us and everyone enjoyed it, kids and adults.

I would also recommend Gloom (it's a card game), Timeline (another card game - there's lots of versions, but you can buy a couple and put them together), and Codenames (played in teams - it helps if you know how the other person thinks).

Hope you find something that suits

We as a family like dobble, easy enough for the kids and the 70 year olds to play together.

We have the kids against maturity depending on the teenagers age.

Settlers of Catan is awesome and is the only legitimate time you can ask "who has wood for my sheep?"

Pictionary or Balderdash are fun, interactive and light.

Of course, my idea of a good board game is the original Civilisation, or Republic of Rome - but you need a full day and a good cushion for both.

The various flavours of Risk can be fun - my favourite is Godstorm Risk, if you can find it.

Ticket to Ride is very good, and easy for 'non-gamey' people to pick up.

Carcasonne is a classic, again, easy to learn.

Hey, that's my Fish is fun, and Kluster is a quick and easy but very fun game.

Also, Hekmeck is, another quick and fun game

As a person who hates board games arrange some other activity for the ones who don't give a shit about them. They'll thank you for it

Agree on exploding kittens.

Throw throw burrito is good as well.

So is Dobble.

Anyone can play these.
