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.
