Indoor Fun For All

1. Board game session
Board games have a typical reputation of being old fashioned fun, yet many games have been enjoying a renaissance in recent years. With many new additions to add to the inventory, there are now board games in abundance. A particular favourite of mine being Ticket To Ride, which is a cross-country train adventure in which players collect train tickets and complete journeys, providing hours of fun for all the family.
