  9. Picked up a new to me board game from the local auction house today - Axis & Allies by Milton Bradley from 1984.
    The box has seen better days, and the auctioneer said he believed it was missing 3 pieces. I'm not going to spend the time to count them. But I know it was missing the instructions - and wonder if that was part of the 3 things it is missing.
    Not having the original instructions is a bummer, but I found them on the internet.

  10. I saw this #MB #MicroVision in a shop in France.
    A handheld console with a very odd cartridge system.
    I must say it was very tempting, but I'm currently trying to reduce my collecting.

  13. The Checkered Game of Life

    Born in Vienna Maine, Milton Bradley’s first business venture was a lithograph shop he set up in Springfield, Ma. His move towards the creation of board games was brought on by a huge failure in this first business after he printed an image of the little-known Republican presidential nominee Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln had decided to grow his beard after Bradley's print was published and suddenly the prints were worthless. Bradley was forced to burn the remaining prints.
    Inspired by an imported game gifted by a friend, Bradley created The Checkered Game of Life in the winter of 1860. The game, an immediate success, was formatted along the lines of a checkerboard with the player advancing through squares with benefits and pitfalls along the way. The first player to accumulate 100 points won. Bradley even created a smaller travel version of the game to accommodate soldiers during the Civil War who needed to fill the down time between battles!
    In 1960, the 100th anniversary of the game, the game was relaunched in the more familiar format we know today as The Game of Life

  14. Anyone remember a game called DownFall? It was sold under the name of Milton Bradley, inventor of The Game of Life. Although by the mid-1980s was just a brand name of Hasbro.

    Anyway, it involved dropping plastic tokens through a series of plastic cogs, which players took turns to operate. Hoping each time that their moves would allow their tokens to drop, but not the opponent's:

    No.

    Will the MYSTERY PENDULUM answer your questions about LOVE? CAREER? FINANCE? TRAVEL?

    Did I win it at yesterday’s auction?

    Alas, no.

  16. Also came across this treasure trove in the loft too ♥️ Again boxed and near mint #EscapeFromColditz, #HeroQuest & #SpaceCrusade board games and a #N64 CD-ROM drive which attached to the cartridge slot of your N64 and allowed you to play the 'backed up' game ROM's via CD, also in the box was every single N64 game produced over 10 or so CD-R's. Happy 'retro' days lol 😜 This means there's an N64 somewhere...but where? Hmmmm....
