Bored? Games!: 101 games to make every day more playful, from the author of THE FLOOR IS LAVA

Un libro pieno di giochi semplici, spunti ludici e tante altre cose. Molto carino e, nonostante fosse un usato, il libro sembrava nuovo.

Being an adult with no kids, a book like The Floor is Lava seemed an odd choice for a purchase. I mean,it's games right? Playing? Adults don't play! Not true. I love board games and have a wall full of them, but sometimes you just need something that's not as serious as those colossal, time-devouring German simulations (Power Grid? Never again!). Sometimes a pen, some paper, a sense of fun and a busy imagination is all you need. 'Lava' kept me and my partner incredibly amused during the lockdown. It's an absolute joy!I will be honest and say that I didn't think a second book would work. Are there that many more games you can play with paper, pencils, odds and sods from around the house? I worried about the lack of variance.I needn't have worried. 'Bored? Games?' is another 101 riotous times in book form. 'What you'll need' lists ranging from "Nothing at all" to "A house full of stuff" for Marble Run... we've not played that yet, but we have got some marbles turning up soon. Favourites include Nuclear Apocalypse - which, I'm happy to say I absolutely pasted my partner at - Frog on Log, best played while ever so slightly squiffy, Three-Coin Croquet and Hackenbush but there's an embarrassment of riches here. Some do involve being outside or in shops - with the evil potential of Lieutenant Mallard waiting to be exploited in Sainsbury's - so I'm going to have to wait to play those.You should never forget that playing is incredibly important. Forgetting how to is one of the biggest tragedies to befall adults. This book - and its predecessor leaves you with no excuses. Go on! Have some fun!! Some marvellous, marvellous fun!Oh yeah, kids are going to absolutely adore it, too...
