Liven up your next office leaving party, Christmas lunch or a team celebration by playing Gaffore. It is sure to make it a memorable evening and some of the antics will be the talk of the office for some time afterwards.

At the start of the party the organiser deals everyone there a card which they can play at some stage during the evening. They keep the details of this card a closely guarded secret until such time as they decide to issue it.

As the cards gradually get played, the sight of the loudest person at the party being told to keep quiet for 10 minutes, or the boss being instructed to stand in the corner for 5 minutes will have everyone in stitches. Anyone who is not prepared to do what they asked to do can opt instead to put £5 into a drinks kitty - but you should find that most people soon get into the spirit of the game.

Deciding when to play your card is critical and the last laugh may be on you because of the Mirror card, which means that the person playing the card has to follow the instructions instead.

It’s fun, harmless, and a good way to kick start a memorable evening.
