Explaining 1950's American pastimes

We have guests coming around for drinks next week. We have been brainstorming activities appropriate for entertaining a professional couple one generation older.

Passenger H: What's that cheesy game again?
Passenger J: What? Do you mean Parcheesi?
Passenger H: Yeah, that's the one.

Parcheesi is known in Europe as Ludo. Fortunately, sarcastic suggestions about 1970's fondue parties are understood on both sides of the Atlantic.
