HMS Victory included in The Best of British
The iconic image and questions on HMS Victory have been included in a brand new board game that celebrates what makes Britain best!
Portsmouth Historic Dockyard worked with the UK’s leading independent games company Drumond Park, as they created a brilliant new game concept, light heartedly delving into our everyday life, reminding us of the diverse, unique and hilarious everyday things, people and places that make Britain such an outstanding place to live. The result is a fun, fascinating board game that is set to be this year’s big family favourite.
Drumond Park felt that there’s so much about this wonderful country of ours that we take for granted. There are cups of tea, the weather forecast, double-decker buses, pubs on every corner, the ‘national pastime’ of queuing… and lollipop ladies, sandcastles, conkers, Blackpool rock, deep fried Mars Bars… Big Ben and Eros, Winston Churchill and Thunderbirds, Mr Whippy ice cream… and not to mention red phone boxes, juicy leeks, screeching bagpipes and Dennis the Menace? They created this game to celebrate the diverse and quirky British culture that gave the world William Shakespeare, Eccles cakes, Spitfires, Irn Bru and EastEnders!?
The Best of British (rrp £29.99, age 12+) is a family board game from the people who created Top Ten perennial favourites Articulate and Absolute Balderdash. Last year, they introduced the fast-paced brand recognition game LOGO, which proved to be immensely popular with families everywhere - earning itself the much coveted title of UK’s Top Selling Board Game for 2009.
Now they have developed The Best of British as LOGO’s sister product. Similarly it, too, is a knowledge and recognition game, for two to six players. As with LOGO, you can also play in teams, or individually for real competitive cut and thrust.
The National Museum of the Royal Navy will be selling the game in their shop, as well as being a great resource within Portsmouth Historic Dockyard for families to swot up on their British knowledge in time for the Christmas board game competitiveness!
