TBT...
We all have those ‘generational’ memories...
I found another pic from the 60s of some of the girls at the pool party...
Yes, it’s black and white, and the suits are plain, but the girls are nice!!!
And 20 years later, there was a ‘new’ board game that caught everybody’s attention...
It’s a complete game set I haven’t pulled out in years... This is an original version dating to 1984, that we used to play back in the day. It spawned a lot of ‘trivial pursuit’ games in bars, and we had one helluva team and won quite a few drinks over the years! :-)
Strangely, our best sports answerer was a young lady who was into statistics!!!
And to be perfectly honest, I think the real board games were a lot more fun that playing online. You got to see the actual expressions real time, and could make fun of the outlandish answers...
What games do you have squirreled away? Do you still play any of them???
My grandkids are now playing Monopoly, Risk, and a few other real boardgames. It’s also teaching them how to plan tactics, and how to lose gracefully... mostly... :-)
I remember when a friend found a WRONG answer (Star wars trivia). I don't thing he's still forgiven them for that, decades later now.
Scrabble. But it is difficult to find someone who wants to play nowadays. I remember playing Scrabble with my dad back in the 80s when I was home on leave. I played "ogive". Dad was well-read and an excellent Scrabble player. He challenged the word and said, "Use ogive in a sentence!" I sang to him, "♫ O give me a home where the buffalo roam...". Dad challenged the word. He lost. I never let dad forget it.
And that picture of the young women. No tattoos. No green hair. No nose rings. ***sigh***
