With the economy the way it is, it might not be too long before we’re all forced to stay in and play board games. Which is when The Boardgame Remix Kit will come into its own.

Containing 27 tweaks and mash-up ideas, it uses the board and pieces of Monopoly, Scrabble, Cluedo and Trivial Pursuit to create brilliant new games. Some are silly, like ‘Judy Garland on the Moon with a Bassoon’, while others, ‘Zombie Mansion’, are intense and involving.

The Boardgame Remix Kit is available as an iPhone app, eBook and a limited edition of rulecards at www.boardgame-remix-kit.com.
