Parlour Games for Modern Families by Myfanwy Jones
What about conversations, in which players discuss a topic by starting each sentence with a consecutive letter of the alphabet? This title sets out to revive the tradition of indoor family games. It features games of logic and memory, wordplay, card games, role-play, and rough and tumble.
I was expecting to meet with a wall of resistance from our computerised childrenBut far from it: they all eagerly threw themselves into the game, and absolutely loved it ... It was the same with all the games we have tried from this marvellous book. -- Tom Hodgkinson * Guardian *
Myfanwy Jones and Spiri Tsintziras were sitting in a Melbourne park one day, watching their children play when they started reminiscing about the games from their own childhood and the idea for this book was born. With 4 children and 20 nephews and nieces between them to test all these games out, they've spent a hilarious couple of years gathering the material and writing this book. In their time not spent playing games, both are journalists and writers.
