Chocolate Trivial Pursuit

Ask any board game nut out there (you know who you are) what one addition would make their gaming experience totally complete, and they'll all tell you the same thing (probably): chocolate.

It's a good thing we've got these amazing versions of classic games that feature chocolate as their centrepiece, then. You can tackle the likes of Cluedo, Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble and even the card shark's favourite, Poker, all with the highly beneficial inclusion of some quality Belgian chocolates - a perfect incentive for a chocoholic victory. So the mouth-watering chocolate replaces the chips in Poker, the question cards in Trivial Pursuit, the word squares in Scrabble and the evidence and characters in Cluedo. The actual boards themselves remain boards, which is a pity. But still, the winner of Trivial Pursuit will get a tasty trophy to munch on, while Cluedo players get to eat the characters (which seems unfair if only one of them is a murderer). Scrabble victors get a whopping chocolate coin and whoever triumphs at Poker simply gets to eat their winnings. Be gamble aware, folks.

You'll notice that, all of a sudden, board games such as these become slightly higher-octane when the stakes are chocolate-based, so watch out for devious tactics. You might want to reconsider playing with those people for whom chocolate is a way of life (again, you know who you are). The only other problem we can see is with Cluedo - someone might eat the evidence.
