Flash cards for younger players, containing objects to identify (e.g. dagger)
Name: Forests and Fairies
Number of players: Any number of swains, princes, maidens, and rude mechanicals, plus whoever is willing to be Oberon, the King of the Fairies
How to play: No gameboard required! Although if you're a real obsessive you can get little metal models of your characters to help you imagine. Oberon describes each situation to the player characters, who must decide how to react, such as trying out any suspicious magic potions, fighting each other for sexual favours, etc, preferably with hilarious consequences.
Aim of the game: To pair up with the correct partner. Additional points may be awarded for sufficiently amusing inappropriate pairings while you try to establish who your correct partner is.
Additional rules: Characters partially turned into animals in an amusing fashion get bonuses to their saving throws vs. erotic attacks. Characters amusingly named after body parts suffer penalties to their intelligence rolls. Under no circumstances is anyone to make lewd use of the word "Puck".

All Swell! Tha' Tends Well! - the Hilarious game of Doctors and Nurses suitable for all the family!

Background: It's a cinch to work out why the Bard couldn't resist the strong medical theme running through this Hilarious game and use it to such dramatic effect in his Hilarious Comedy of Sexism in the hospital workplace somewhere in the sick bed of Europe.
Aim of the game: Each player takes turns to create a HUGE and Hilarious swelling on a realistic body part of their choice. Then the Men - the King and the Count - pit their medical wits against the Women - the Countess and the trainee nurse - to find a way of reducing the swelling often with Hilarious results!
Equipment: The boxed game costing only £77.99 and found exclusively in only the very best branches of Waitrose comes complete with: Seven Most Likely To Swell Up Body Parts made from polyplypropyleneleneplyethate plastic - a knee, an elbow, a fat lip, a cauliflower ear, a thumb, a nose and something from the groin area. Plus A Collection of Fistulas, Cannulas, Hyperdermics, Leeches, Swiss Army Knives and Trepanning Tools which are used to Reduce or Cure the swelling, often with Hilarious results!
And The Winners are : the first team to locate the squirty pus and release it all over the opposing team!

[Breadmaster] No equipment needed? Surely a little bottle (to spin) would be a handy accessory!

Background: A game of racial stereotypes
Aim of the game: Be the first to topple 'nutty' Mr Shylock.
Equipment: 5 kosher moneylender coconuts and as many Kohl Rabbi as you can carry.
