ENGLISH BOARD GAMES CLUB The English Board Games members learned a few new games this year as we competed with each other each Wednesday after school. Most of our club was made up of Prep, Grade 9 and Grade 10 students. One of our favorite games this year was Dixit, a French board game which involves beautifully illustrated cards. Using words to describe the cards, you try to fool the rest of the players into choosing or not choosing your card. Another favorite was the series of QuizBox games which are made by Redhouse here in Turkey. Each box contains a set of card with prepositions, synonyms or antonyms. You need to guess the meanings of each. The cards are organized from easy to difficult. Qwirkle is an award-winning game which involves patterns, shapes and colors. The students who like geometry usually like this game. If you like normal Sudoku, you will love this game. Most students already know how to play, so it was an easy game to enjoy very quickly. Taboo is always a favorite with the Club. With the new expanded Taboo, there is more than just talking. We have drawing and using the puppet as well. This game brought a lot of laughs to the group. 124 THE CLAPPER 2016 - 2017
