No Crossbows & Catapults… The one game where rules were optional?! Your 80s are incomplete. Go back to Start. Such is Life! 🙂
I appreciate the "Charade" reference. It's my favorite film!
I didn’t have the jaws game but a tone down version where you just catch fish on a motorized base. What about the mall game? Or was that early 90s?
I still love bard games
I remember going to the movies to see the Helen Hunt film "Twister". The next day, my friend asked me if it was good.
I told him that I was bored watching "Right hand red, left foot green" for 2 hours.
I came from a large family, so we had tons of board games. We played Monopoly a lot.
I would always use the top hat as my token, and when I went bankrupt, I would turn the hat upside down like I was saying, "Brother, can you spare a dime?" I remember my mother playing with us one time and I asked her what token she wanted to use. She said, "Anything but the flatiron" because she hated ironing!
One of my favorite games was a little-known one called "Hide 'N' Thief". I wish I still had that one even though I haven't played a board game in decades. Another favorite was the card game "Waterworks". (Thinking about that game makes me wish I had become a plumber when I grew up.)
We had the Titanic board game you show in this video. (I can't believe I forgot about it!)
We also had a Monopoly rip-off called "Go to Texas!" that my uncle sent us when he moved there.
We had "Trouble!" but we also had a similar game, "Headache" which also had the Pop-A-Matic bubble.
Watching this video brought back a lot of fond memories. Thank you.
