Electronic devices might be the new craze, but it's board games that have lasting appeal - classics like Monopoly and Scrabble have been around for over 75 years, and with good reason. Every family should have a few board games tucked away on a shelf, at the bach, or a travel set in the car for those holiday journeys. And there's really nothing quite like doing a jigsaw puzzle on a rainy day! Of course, if you're looking for brain trainers, we have educational games too, such as memory games, word and language games, and general knowledge quizzes such as Kiwi Quiz and Trivial Pursuit.
