Schuss looks like becoming the new choice of after-dinner board game, pushing Trivial Pursuit off the table.

The board itself is designed like a piste map, with blue runs throwing up easy Alpine-related questions, with tougher questions on the testing blacks. Mountain restaurant stops help you to change runs and wipe-outs can have 'hilarious consequences' - with dares (why not make up your own?) in order for fallers.

We've checked out the game in the Natives office and a formal vote rated it above Pictionary and Charades and only slightly below Sardines and Twister.
