When times are hard, gifts take on a special meaning, brightening the lives of those around us. Here’s our pick of thoughtful gifts that won’t cost the earth… Quoridor wooden strategy game Quoridor is an elegant wooden game that’s suitable for anyone over eight. Quoridor has previously received the Mensa Mind Game award and was the Game of the Year in the USA, France, Canada and Belgium. It can be played by two or four players and is one of those games that’s easy to learn, but can involve deeper strategic gameplay. Players try to strike the right balance between building a wall to create a maze for their opponents and moving their pawn across the board to reach the other side first. Around £35 from www.amazon.co.uk or hobby retailers.
