I am a boardgame freak, especially the 80s and 90s ones. I've got...a lot. No sleepover was ever complete without a round of Girl Talk, Nightmare or Atmosfear. To complete my collection, I had been after the following Milton Bradley boardgames for a long, long time:
Splat! Shark Attack & Bed Bugs.
Anyone recall these gems? I cherished the memory of playing them with my best friends when we were really little. Until very recently, I would routinely look for these on eBay, but as I am in Australia, and the games are usually somewhere in the northern hemisphere, shipping is super expensive. Well, you can imagine my reaction when I found all three in a neat stack at a garage sale at a Church on the weekend. My boyfriend pointed them out and I lost it. I literally ran and grabbed them; I grabbed them like an 80's mother grabbed a CPK doll when they first went on sale. I may have knocked over a kid or two in my excitement. I got them for $7.50 (the games, not the kids). Man, I love being in the right place at the right time. I had so much fun taking them home and cleaning them all up (again, the games, not the kids). The Splat! game still had its original 20 year old Playdoh in it. Gross. So, anyway, what are your favourite boardgame memories? I'm keen to know
