I can’t bear to go outside in this heat, so I’ll be playing these board games instead while hugging my nearest fan

Hot summer weather is perfect for a BBQ, getting a rare UK tan, or heading to the beach, but when it’s a heatwave I know I want to do nothing more than sit in front of a fan to avoid overheating.

If you’re also stuck inside with your family can I suggest a board game?

No matter the weather games can be a great way to spend your evenings together, and thanks to Amazon Prime Day deals, you can save big on some of my favourites, including all-star Catan.
