Th is year I am sharing 24 mini games over advent, where the rules can be explained on the back of a single business card. Today's game is called "Coin Toss".  Day 24 "Coin Toss" Players:  2-10 players Equipment:  Coins (chocolate recommended)  Concise rules:  Place this card face up in the centre of the table, make sure everyone has an equal number of coins. Everyone takes turns tossing a coin towards the business card. The first player to land a coin touching the words "Merry Christmas" wins all coins previously thrown.  Notes: I loved marbles growing up and I always saw people on TV or in books  playing marbles  but I never really played a competitive games with them. I like collecting and I liked marble runs. As an adult I have been curious about the history of marble games and have learnt a wide variety of ways to play with them.

This year I am sharing 24 mini games over advent, where the rules can be explained on the back of a single business card. Today's game is called "Coin hunt".  I love little games, that take moments to explain and can be played in 2-15 minutes. So, I set myself a challenge to collect and create as many  business card games  as possible.

But in recent years I have found it a great game to bring into youth clubs. Loads of teenagers have never played it and depending on ...

This year I am sharing 24 mini games, where the rules can be explained on the back of a single business card. For the 24 days of advent I will be sharing one a day on my blog. Today's game is called "Coin Tales".  I love little games, that take moments to explain and fill between 2-15 minutes. So, I set myself a challenge to collect and create as many as possible. I have had them printed on business cards with a festive Gold emboss and I am slipping them into all my Christmas cards this year.  Day 1 "Coin Tales" Players: 2-12 players Equipment: 1 coin per player Concise rules:  Everyone grabs a random coin, check the year it was minted. You need to think of a short story from your life that happened that year. Flip the coin to decide if  your story is true (heads) or a lie (tails). Everyone tells their story and players guess if it is true or a lie.  Alternatively, the stories can be general knowledge and you can use your phone for research.  Notes: Many ...
