If you aren’t the type to settle for the usual fare when it comes to board games (Monopoly, Scategories, Balderdash) which can leave us bored rather than stimulated, how about playing with Scabs and Guts? It’s on the frontier of board gaming, meant to entertain and educate players about the human body.
Scabs and Guts players travel around a body-shaped board and are required to answer a multiple choice question on each turn. There are three categories: Scrapes and Scabs, Blood and Guts and Blubber and Bluff. WARNING! Scabs and Guts is gross but that makes it super-fun. The perfect holiday gift, for the aspiring surgeon in your family.
