One of the best things about a yard sale is scoring something from your childhood. This week I found an un-played Partridge Family game. I had this game as a child and played it all the time. Why, I have no idea, the game really is not much of a game, none of those TV show board games were all that complicated, they were just good fun. For an avid game collector nothing beats finding a game that is virtually un-played. You begin to think, how could you buy a game and never play it?
The TV shows of this era had plenty of board games, there was Charlies Angels, CHIPS, Dark Shadows (cool game), and hundreds more. In my personal collection I have a few that I really had a hard time finding, Super Car, Thunderbirds, Amazing Spiderman, Outer Limits, Batman and a few others. This is what makes collecting and reliving your childhood fun and keeps this industry of collectors always looking to find that board game from their childhood exciting. Another weekend is coming so lets see what we find?
Have you ever come across the original Mastermind Board game? The one from the seventies with the older gentleman and young lady on the box? I tried finding it on their website: http://www.mastermindboardgame.com but couldn't find it there. I can find images of it online but I can't find anyone selling it.
ReplyDeleteHave you checked out http://boardgamegeek.com/? (I'm not affiliated.) It's a forum for all kinds of games, including old board games. I think they have photos of almost every game you can think of, and many are for sale.
