ARE you looking for tips for a fun night in?
Now the evenings are dark and chilly, I am much less likely to make plans to go out. But that does not mean Horlicks and bed. Instead, it is the perfect time to host a games night. If you fancy following suit, these ideas will help make your bash a success — and they will not take a gamble with your bank account . . .
- DO NOT GET BOARD: You will find deals on classic board games at Smyths. Monopoly is down from £21.99 to £16.99 and Mouse Trap is reduced from £23.99 to £14.99. Buckaroo is now £12.99, RRP £16.99. There is also a two-for-£10 offer on games such as Bingo and Word Stax at The Works, usually £7 each.
SAVE: £9 on Mouse Trap - WILD CARD: Get a pack of £1 playing cards at Wilko and look up the rules for Spoons or Crazy Eights. They are two of my favourites. If you are a quiz show fan, The Chase cards are £4 at B&M — £1.99 less than at John Lewis. Head to sendit.co.uk for a £9.99 poker set. It is much cheaper than Argos’ £25 version.
SAVE: £15.01 on a poker game - SWEET DEAL: Sillier games include the After Eight challenge, which involves you having to get a chocolate from your forehead to your mouth without using your hands. Poundland’s £1 Mint Nights are a great After Eight dupe, £2 at Waitrose. You will already know how to play musical chairs, two truths and a lie and Mr and Mrs – these cost nothing but your imagination.
SAVE: £1 on mint chocolates - APPY DAYS: There are loads of great party game apps out there, most of which are free, but have in-app purchases. I love Psych!, Who Can’t Draw? and Just Dance Now. The latter is a digital dance mat — a physical one would set you back £24.99 at very.co.uk.
SAVE: £24.99 on mat - QUESTION MASTER: Pub quizzes are fun, but you usually end up spending at least £10 on drinks. Luckily, there are ready-made free quizzes online._
SAVE: Around £10 on drinks - PRICES correct at time of going to press. Deals and offers subject to availability.
Deal of the day
THE Even Bigger Night In deal at dominos.co.uk is simply dough-licious. You get two large pizzas, potato wedges, cookies and large soft drink for £28.99, usually £52.95.
SAVE: £23.96
Cheap treat
SNACKS are key to a great games night, so get to Asda for a share size bag of sea salt & balsamic vinegar Kettle Chips for £1, down from £1.99.
SAVE: 99p
