Foxy - I am afraid that neither word is listed. I wish I had this dictionary before - I am sure I let my wife win a game because when she played 'quo' I agreed it was a word.

Thanks PoP, I was the culprit on this occasion but I didn't get away with it unfortunately

I am a great scrabble fan and have games nights at my friends house.
Unfortunately we always have a few bottles of Smirnoff Ice which leads to not very tuneful singing and not very good words on the board. Great fun though.
Sicker might disagree

New Years day is a family gathering and usually the Trivial Pursuit comes out after dinner. I still have the original questions which are a bit dated now. Should really invest in some new ones.

We got BOP IT too...it's brilliant. Highest score 53...not me I hasten to add. I'm still trying to figure out what the guy says

PoP I am sick of telling you, b***** s always try that sort of stuff to beat you. The main Scrabble difference between us is: you let them get away with it.
Quo is not a word and neither is Tweak.!!

Risk is my board game of choice as well (But only if I get Kamchatka of course!)

When the doorbell rings, Penny barks uncontrolably but when Teddygirl and her companions singalong starts the bark is replaced by dirgeful yowling and I retire to my room closing the door firmly behind me. (leaving the poor dog to her fate.)

Oh, Sicker you're getting very brave. Once I've had a word with Mrs Sicker you'd better watch those pretty legs of yours..............I see a few new bruises appearing

Must arrange another night soon

I bought Cluedo and Monopoly for my nephews this Christmas, Cluedo is proving v. popular They've tweaked the Monopoly to make it more complicated no-one could be bothered to read the instructions to work it out but it's nice to know that the old games still can hold their appeal against playstations and gameboys.

I bought Jenga to have in my house for them to play with and that went down well too. I now have to buy another one as a birthday present!

I catch up with everyone on POL! As now .......

I have never played Trivial Pursuit, and have always wanted to ..... I'm rubbish at Scrabble. I have not yet got to the bottom of this thread, but has anyone suggested a POL board-game evening? I have a couple at home, which I never get to play ...........

I have been involed in some cut-throat Ludo games - especially after drink has been taken! Usually followed by a backwards version called Odul .........

I'm a backgammon man myself. I took a board into work recently and I've taught a few of my colleagues to play it, so that's how I spend most of my lunchtimes now. Connect 4 is my other fave.

I agree. I really enjoy playing it. Always reminds of holidaying in the Med because many bars have it and you can relax in the sun with a beer and while the hours away.

I bought Othello from a charity shop 2 weeks ago for Ã‚Â£1.25 - It was on 1/2 price sale from Ã‚Â£1.50!

Sounds like you got ripped off to me DG - half of Ã‚Â£1.50 is 75p!

But I like Othello. It's easier than draughts. Mind you the only game I ever win is Frustration.

Sounds a good purchase but I wouldn't recommend you buy a calculator from there.

Oops! Bit too rushed at work this morning (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it

). I meant to write Ã‚Â£2.50.

Still wouldn't buy a calculator from them - it then should have cost Ã‚Â£1.25!
