Let's be honest, the past year has been eventful, and whilst having the freedom to see our friends and family is lovely, there's not all that much to share.
Our lives during the pandemic sitting indoors all day doing the exact same thing aren't exactly the most exciting thing to talk about.
Wake up. Shower. Work. Scroll through Instagram. Dinner. Scroll through Twitter. Look at Insta again. Bed.
Yep, very repetitive and pretty boring - not great for keeping the conversation going.
So we reckon it's time to go old school... back to board games.
Yes, really.
We've had a look at the best board games for adults to keep you and your friends/ family/ roommates entertained.
It'll be way more fun to discuss and is sure to whip up some fun stories and conversation starters that don't for once involve tales of impromptu isolations.
