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. Vintage Monopoly

    We used to have a very old Monopoly set, probably from the sixties, tatty from constant use. The original box had been lost long ago, so everything except the board was kept in an unmarked box once used for something else. The board was of the standard design, but across the middle was a...

  6. Spaghetti based haunted house board game.

    Hello, I'd love to rediscover an image of this game that I played many times in the early seventies. I'm thinking it was a free game, sent off for by cutting coupons perhaps. It came from Spaghetti Letters (or was it Alphabetti-Spaghetti?). Hence, it had no box. It was a board game...

  8. Just William

    The board game from around 1976. I bought one from ebay a few weeks ago and my 11 year old son loves playing it. He doesn't know who Just William is though :D, but for a 30 year old game it's still good fun. Any one else remember it?

    I don't really remember what the game was about, it had a pretty big board with a castle drawn on the top with red flags on its towers, a big part of the sky was visible and lower on the board there was a forest with little gems all around and I think 4 mushroom houses of different colors. There...

  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...
