Christmas is traditionally a time of peace and goodwill – that is until you get the Monopoly board out.

Despite people making up rules and stealing from the bank, Monopoly is still a great addition to the gift wish list. There are various boards available, but for stocking filler purposes, the Grab & Go is decent value at less than a tenner.
