We share a lot of family games because we love to play together. We’ve got into the habit of playing a different game after dinner and have a great selection. We were recently gifted Pass the Pud from Gibsons Games. Read on for our review and your chance to win a copy.
With the whole family stuffed with turkey and granny snoring away in the armchair, what better way to inject some inter-generational festive fun into Christmas afternoon than a fast-paced game of Pass the Pud, a belchingly good word game – and without the calories!
Great entertainment for the whole family, Pass the Pud is an action-packed team game for four or more players and everyone’s nerves will be tested to the limits as they answer questions in a race against time to beat the burp.
It’s easy to learn and quick to play. Great for ages 8 and over, it contains a Christmas pudding with a timing device (which requires 2x AAA batteries- not included), 110 game cards and 25 sixpence tokens. Take it in turns to answer a question whilst you pass the Christmas pudding. But be quick, otherwise it will burp and your opponents will collect a sixpence!
We really enjoyed playing it. It’s small and doesn’t take much space and will be great for bringing out when we all need a break from opening presents and trying to cook dinner! You can purchase Pass the Pud for £16.00 from Gibsons Games and other good toy shops.
Win Pass the Pud from Gibsons Games
I’ve teamed up with Gibsons Games and one reader of the gingerbread house can win Pass the Pud. To enter my giveaway you must answer the question via the Rafflecopter widget below, there are some bonus entries too. The giveaway is open to those with a UK postal address only and ends on 13th December. The winners name will appear on this post. Good luck!
