Day 9: throw the dice

Christmas is often an opportunity to bond (or bicker!) with loved ones over the Scrabble set, and what better place to stock up on imaginative new board games than Cowley Road's Gameskeeper?

The newly-renovated hub of tabletop-based fun has generously agreed to give one lucky winner a board game of their own. There's a choice of:

Scythe

Pandemic and Pandemic on the Brink

Carcassonne and Ticket to Ride (European variant)

Simply email us ([email protected]), or give us a shoutout on Twitter or Facebook letting us know which game or games you'd like, for your chance to win!

Feel like you want to work harder than that for your prize, or just in a playful mood? Have a go at our Christmassy riddle!

My first is in mistle, and also in toe,
My second in glitter but never in glow.
My third can be found in the snow on the ground,
My fourth introduces a night with no sound.
My next is most central to seasonal cheer,
My last is the last of a song you might hear.
It's not around presents you'll need to wrap me,
As my whole takes a shine to your decked Christmas tree.

For those looking to make a difference during the season of goodwill, here's our charitable suggestion of the day:
