Our Big Potato favourites
We love games at Bookspeed, almost as much as books. And we’re not alone. Board games have been growing in popularity year on year. Families, couples and groups of friends are looking for ways to connect, have fun and entertain themselves at home, and tabletop games are increasingly the answer.
That’s why we’re excited to be a supplier for Big Potato Games, one of the UK’s leading independent games brands. These products offer fresh alternatives to the annual family game of Monopoly at Christmas. Bold, bright, inventive, these products are destined to turn into entertaining staples. Here are a few of our favourites:
1. Sounds Fishy
Who’s it for: Adults and older children, age 10 and above.
What’s it about: It’s a quizzing party game that sees participants try to identify the right answer among a sea of red herrings invented by fellow players.
Why we love it: This bestseller has a simple concept that will keep large groups entertained and generate a few laughs too.
Price: RRP £19.99 (trade price: £10.80 excluding VAT)
2. The Chameleon
Who’s it for: Adults and teens, age 14 and above
What’s it about: Players are tasked with describing a secret word that everybody knows except the Chameleon, who has to pretend they know what everyone is talking about without being outed as an imposter.
Why we love it: Loads of fun and perfect for people who enjoy games, such as the Traitors.
Price: RRP £19.99 (trade price: £10.80 excluding VAT)
3. Herd Mentality
Who’s it for: Adults and older children, age 10 and above
What’s it about: A party game that asks players to work out the most common answer to questions, such as “what is the best pizza topping?” or “name a very cold country.”

4. P for Pizza
