The best way to ruin friendships
The classic monopoly game really brings out the worst in people, as the need to keep giving the same person money repeatedly becomes very frustrating. When playing with kids, I have found we have to agree that once someone has bought the first property of a group, nobody can buy the rest. Without such rules anarchy would reign.
The game takes quite a long time to play and technically only ends when someone runs out of money and properties completely, which can take days.
Not really enjoyable but an excellent concept (the junior version is much better).

Comic fantasy that reminded me slightly of the great Terry Pratchett (writen in that vein), but not quite as good as his.

Set in an alternative medieval period, in the reign of Uther Pendragon (who is one of the characters in the book): in this case, Uther (and not Arthur) is the 'Once and Future King'. Unfortunately, the book also states that the author is working on a sequel: if he did, I never saw any sign of it in any of the bookshops, with the ending of this book leaving plenty (too much?) open to be included in that sequel.
