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

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...

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...

Anyone remember this game. You went on holiday around the board game and the action cards came out of a camera dispenser. It was around early 80's?

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...

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?

Hi, New to the forum, just really stuck and trying to work out the name of this board game i used to play when i was a kid. All i can remember is that there were loads of games on it, it was like a book the boards were big and one of the games had snakes and ladders in it. I think the...

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...

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.

I remember a game my sister had call Holly Hobby or something? ring any bells?

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...

In the 70s i played a Pirate game, you each had a little ship, and you had to cross the bored to pick up things like rum barrels and treasure

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...

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...
