For some people, the nightmare at Christmas is spending time in close quarters with family. For us, it's a joy. We actively enjoy spending time together, playing, talking, singing, walking, and just being in the same space.
The Elder Offspring bought the family a present, the game 'Concept', and we have played it a number of times. "In Concept, your goal is to guess words through the association of icons. A team of two players – neighbors at the table – choose a word or phrase that the other players need to guess. Acting together, this team places pieces judiciously on the available icons on the game board."
An example is 'Titanic'. The main icon would go on 'movie'. A second one might on on transport, and on the downward arrow. 'Clockwork Orange' was guessed from 'movie', 'time' and the colour 'orange'.
It's all about communication, and is similar in nature to the game 'Charades'.
