Hello,

I was hoping someone could help a few of us remember the name of this fun game from the 70s.

It was not a board game. It stood upright on a table. I believe it was blue, all plastic with plastic parts. It was for two players. It had a clear door on each side facing each player. Each player would open the little door on his side and hang these little colored discs that had a hole in the middle from these pegs. The discs came in two colors, orange and pink. One player couldn't see what the other was doing. I could pull on the little pegs on my side (they had a little spring action) and if a disc was hanging on that peg on your side, it would drop. I think that if I got all your discs to drop first, for example, I was the winner. I would say I had it in the early 70s.

We would love to remember the name of this little game.

Sounds similar to Downfall but i doubt that thats it though.

Well, I am replying to myself in case anyone besides me is interested. It was called Slip Disc and it was put out by Mattel in 1969. Just found out.
