Forum: Board games

Talk about the board games of the 70's, 80's and and 90's. Which was your favourite board game? Which game were you best at? Which games do you still play?

  1. 3 or more

    This was a card game of sorts with small cards that had 3 coloured spots on that you placed down in turn to make a row of the same colour a bit like dominos but with coloured spots i think it was a Spears brand

  2. Cowboy Gun Game?

    Hi All, Wondering if anyone can help me remember the name of a game I used to have as a kid back in the late 70's. It was a large plastic moulded board with terrain all over it, in 2 of the corners were hills with indents where you would rest your revolver-type gun. The gun was spring loaded and...

  3. Question Elastic Band Game

    Hi, just found your site today, and boy has it brought back some memories for me. I had a game where you had a board with little pegs and some rubber bands. You had to move your pegs, stretching the bands.... and that's all I can remember, basically cos we had it confiscated by my parents for...

  5. 70's game

    I don't know if anyone can help me, I'm trying to remember the name of a game. You had to drop bombs onto targets on a moving map. You looked down through a bomb aimers sight and it became easier as you could memorise the map the more times you played it. I think the map was circular and may have...

  7. My Dog Has Fleas

    Not sure if this has been mentioned but no-one ever seems to remember it. It was basically a plastic dog-a hound-and you got lots of plastic fleas with it. The idea was to place the fleas on the dogs back and turn its tail which would make so many of the fleas jump off. I also had a big...

  9. Line Game - Hours of fun, so fun I can't remember it's name!!

    Hello everyone, I've been trying to remember a game that my brother used to have when we were younger. My Nana bought it at a Jumble Sale and we played on it for hours. I think the box only lasted a year and it ended up in a tin which is why none of us can remember it's name. We got it in the...

  10. Magnetic table football?

    Again, only slight memory of this, but a table football game like, but NOT Subutteo, where you controlled the players by moving an independent magnet on a stick under the playing surface. Anyone help with image or name?

  12. Wacky Races game?

    Digging deep in the ageing brain to remember this one. There was a round spinning saucer with an indentation for one marble in it. A number of coloured mabled were put in it and spun, only one was selected by sitting in the recess. I don't remember much else - maybe the black marble was...

  13. Title of game with marbles?

    I want to know the name of a game that involved black and white marbles I think. It was a square grid of maybe 8 x 8 recesses where you placed mables. Something happened where you pulled or pushed levers and the marbles either stayed on top or fell through. That's about all I can remember.

  16. Boxing and vampires!

    There used to be two games that I'd love to see again: 1. Two robotic boxers. One was red and the other blue. You had to punch the opponents robot until its head popped up! 2. A vampire board game set in a castle. One person controlled the vampires and s/he could control the players...

  18. Soccerama

    Did anyone else have this as a kid? Think it came out around 1970, and was prominently endorsed by Alan Ball as "The Best Game I Ever Played" which made you wonder about the 1966 World Cup final. Bit like Monopoly except that you worked your way from Division 4 (as was) up to Division 1 and then...

  20. Christmas Board-games

    It's coming up Christmas: board-game time, even if it's a dreaded tradition in some families. What games do you have from up to 40 years ago (to keep in in the 70's) that still get outings? My most popular ones tend to be from the "first wave" of German games in the early 80's Hare and...
