Hi robert. Well there are a few things. 1. scrabble, you can buy this. loodo, snakes and ladders. peg chess of which I have a set. Probably monopoly except I have not got it. Thee are a load of board games you can buy check your local blind foundation for all that stuff. Beetle. this is a wood game where you try to put the beetle together. happy families. there are braille playing cards, plastic is more durable. ulsas. Ok I had to get mum to make the board, but it was made with cardboard and foil. connect4. norts and crosses. domonoes.
The disadvantage being though that these games are big, like huge, they all come in rather big cases,etc. Do you have a laptop? you probably can play the kitchensinc games on a bord at the same time. There is also the popomatic games, you need someone to tell you whats actually going on but its a semi half way accessible game to play. Scatogries is also good, granted, its a children's game but its got timers and such and makes noise. There is the 20 questions game you can get on the system, and also the board. there is the trivia game by jim kitchen, but I suppose you could play a game like that on the board. You probably could play risk to, as although you need to role dice and move counters you have to do strategy and it can be quite good, never tried it though. Then there is drafts, never tried that or batgammon even though I have sets of each.
