A Happy New Year to all. May it be filled with laughter, lovely company, great food and good health.
The season to be jolly is now giving way to the season to be resting. And playing. Which is opportune because if you didn't get it the first time around, a new edition of Parlour Games for Modern Families is out now. It's a bit smaller, a different colour, and cheaper too ($24,95). It's still jam packed with games you can play without a trip to the shops for more stuff. Click on the pic in the sidebar if you would like to order it from Readings bookshop - it's one of their recommended reads.

And if you have an iPhone or an iPad, it's now available as the app '50 Fun Games for the Whole Family' ($5.49). This means the rules for our top 50 games are fully mobile. One user has already given it five stars which is most exciting:
Brilliant! by Carly Smith
"I'm laughing out loud just reading how to play these games! Can't wait to try them. Great layout, simply explained instructions, and using the spinning wheel to pick a game is a nice touch, if a little sensitive. Plenty of games in here, but also hoping that more games from the original book might become available to the app at some point. Good price for the content."

So if you are pressed for entertainment that involves real people using their very own brain and body power, check out the new edition of the book or the app. Happy playing!
