I love Monopoly, even if I never win at it. I'm not ruthless enough. While we're on the topic of board games: Cluedo! But only with the bits of paper, I'm hopeless without it. Forbidden Desert is a new favourite of mine, as is Dix-it, and Cards Against Humanity.

As for video games, I've always had a soft spot for hack n' slash Warriors games, like Dynasty Warriors. There's just something so simple, yet strangely strategic and tactical about it if you bother to do the harder content.
