Board Games!

Another one of those things everyone already knows about but don't think about sometimes when they're bored. Yet again not for everyone but most people like one or 2 board games, heres some ideas and guidelines to help you out.


Number of people: 3-10 (not many board games support more than 10, OK a 2 person board games is just sad so I'd recommend 3+)

Time of day: Anytime, but I'd recommend rainy days or night time.

Duration: 2 hours - 5 hours

Budget: $0 - $100 (depending on if your going to buy a board game or not)

Equipment:

-The board game, here are some common ones which are good fun.
  • Monopoly - Good game but sometimes people get too competitive
  • Cranium - Good fun and all round game for everyone, some funny out comes.
  • Risk - A old classic, more for the boys but do suit some girls
  • Pictionary - You get some good laughs from the pictures
  • Cludo - Another good all round detective game
  • Settlers - Very fun to play, a little like risk mixed with monopoly
- Some snacks and drinks

Guidelines:

Remember its a game don't get all worked up over it, have fun, kill some time.

Leave town for a few days

Camping or just leaving town for a few days is quiet fun, a snow trip, camping in the woods, on the beach, fishing trip etc, I usually go away about 3 times a year and its quiet fun, nice to get away from usual life.



Number of people: 2+

Time of day: All

Duration: 1+ Nights

Budget: $100+

Equipment: I'm sure you know what camping or renting a Bach is and how to do it so I won't go into detail too much but here are a few things which would come in handy.
  • bug spray
  • togs
  • night games
  • music
  • night light
  • food
  • spending money

Guidelines

No real explaining needed really, just find a place to stay, find some stuff outside town to do and go do it. Realistically its going to cost you $100+ after gas, accommodation food, activities etc, plan for it.
