The trick with games is to actually get the board and other things out of the box first and read the rules in conjunction with them. from popular retailers I would say this is worth having a look at if you're wanting to invest in a new board game. It’s really nice to be able to play with such an interactive and tangible mechanic as this – it keeps the game fresh and means the player is always involved.

This could be three fruit, three numbers, three animals, or the three things that are in your colour group. Baffled is one of those games where I made the mistake of just getting the rules leaflet out first and reading that in isolation to try to get to grips with the game.

You probably won’t want to play a second game straight away as you will still be remembering the positions of the symbols from the end of the previous game. As is fast becoming our measure of whether a family board game is good or not, discussion soon turned to whether my mum would enjoy the game.

In this fun board game, contestants have just 60 seconds to memorise the position of the twelve symbol tiles before they get covered up. How exciting to be on safari, trying to spot all your favorite animals… but, hang on, one of them has wandered off!
