This is a discussion based activity, aimed at finding the best game we ever played. The idea is to print off picture handouts of the rounds (take screenshots) and have members sit on several tables with one picture round each. Then ask members to ...
Name the games
Discuss how each was played
Decide which one or two were the most fun to play or watch (and which were the most boring to play or watch)
NB. Members can also opt for a missing game.
Once the first task is completed bring the finalists together - the five or ten most fun to play games, then ask members to choose from the finalists which is the best game ever (maybe go for a top three).
There is some music interspersed between the rounds which could break the session up.
