HOW TO HAVE A GREAT NIGHT IN Have you heard? Staying in is the new going out. Whether it’s for the benefit of your wellbeing or your wallet, not every night has to involve alcohol. There are endless ways to have an amazing night and still remember it the next day! Here are some great ways to spend quality time at home with others... 1. Get the board games out Break out the classic board games: we're thinking Cluedo, Scrabble, Jenga, Monopoly - did you know that there's a Winchester Edition of Monopoly? Board games are a great way to bond and have a laugh. Grab some snacks and you're guaranteed 3-4 hours of fun! 2. Have a movie night Why not have a theme – rom coms, thrillers, musicals, comedies, or hide under the pillows with some classic horror films! Popcorn is a must. Request an alternative format for this information by emailing: [email protected] 3. Cook a meal together Hold your own ‘Come Dine With Me’ with other student houses, or make a meal together where each person cooks a different course. 4. Master a new skill Bake something you’ve never baked before, learn to crochet, plant a herb garden for the kitchen or absorb a new language by watching foreign films together. 7. Host a video game session Gather everyone's gaming systems and all the necessary controllers and cords, and prepare some snacks to eat throughout the evening. 5. Have a craft night Use items you and your friends have around: you can make cards, learn to crochet together, or decorate jars and tins to use as pen pots for your desk. Why not make a scrap book together of fun memories while at uni? 6. Binge on a box set Why not order a takeaway too or watch reruns of old shows together?

The Story of Cluedo & Clue a “Contemporary” Game for Over 60 Years
The story of Cluedo & Clue A “Contemporary” Game for over 60 Years by Bruce Whitehill The Metro, a free London newspaper, regularly carried a puzzle column called “Enigma.” In 2005, they ran this “What-game-am-I?” riddle: Here’s a game that’s lots of fun, Involving rope, a pipe, a gun, A spanner, knife and candlestick. Accuse a friend and make it stick. The answer was the name of a game that, considering the puzzle’s inclusion in a well- known newspaper, was still very much a part of British popular culture after more than 50 years: “Cluedo,” ﬁrst published in 1949 in the UK. The game was also published under license to Parker Brothers in the United States the same year, 1949. There it is was known as: Clue What’s in a name? • Cluedo = Clue + Ludo" Ludo is a classic British game -- " a simpliﬁed Game of India • Ludo is not played in the U.S. " Instead, Americans play Parcheesi." But “Cluecheesi” doesn’t quite work." So we just stuck with “Clue” I grew up (in New York) playing Clue, and like most other Americans, considered it to be one of America’s classic games. Only decades later did I learn its origin was across the ocean, in Great Britain. Let me take you back to England, 1944. With the Blitz -- the bombing -- and the country emersed in a world war, the people were subject to many hardships, including blackouts and rationing. A forty-one-year-old factory worker in Birmingham was disheartened because the crimp on social activities in England meant he was unable to play his favorite parlor game, called “Murder.” “Murder” was a live-action party game where guests tried to uncover the person in the room who had been secretly assigned the role of murderer.
