Zhenya's hand shot up into the air

"Professor, some of my favourite board games are Cranium, Phase 10 and Tabboo! In Cranium you have four different types of cards and you roll dice to see what card you will get." She thought for a moment. "The blue cards are Creative Cat and you have to draw or mould dough into the picture the card instructs. The red ones are Data Head and you answer trivia questions. The yellow cards are Word Worm and you have to spell words or figure out what anagrams are with clues. And the green cards are Star Performer and you act out or sing what the card tells you. It's so much fun!

Phase 10 is a card game where you have 10 cards, and you go around in a circle having your turn and you have to get different phases with the cards you have. It takes really long when you have lots of players.

And Tabboo is a game that is based on defining a word from a card without using certain "tabboo" words that are also written on the card, and your aim is to go through as many cards correctly through your team as possible," she said. She missed playing games with her family and friends.
