Vintage Board Games

Do you remember any games you used to play as child that they don't make anymore? There were several that I used to have that are now out of production and I wish I still had them. One that I used to love was called Which Witch. I managed to get one of these on Ebay a few years back... it was kind of expensive but I really wanted it. It's a 3-D game... you move through a haunted witch's house to get to the charmed circle at the end.... along the way you might get turned into a mouse. Steffie loves to play this game. I can't say it's really educational... but I do make her count the dots on the dice and then of course the number of spaces she is supposed to move... and it helps her learn about taking turns and following the rules... so I guess it's not a total educational loss. She insisted on playing it this morning... so that is what we've been doing... counting dots and getting turned into mice :) Here are a few pics of the game



I also remember a game called Voice of the Mummy... you had to travel around an Egyptian pyramid to get to the top where the mummy was and collect jewels along the way... the mummy talked and gave instructions that you had to follow. I've seen this one on Ebay as well for around $100... that's expensive for a game... but someday I would love to have this game again.

Another one I used to have was Seance... oooohhh spoooky... I remember sitting around my Grandma's huge dining table playing this with my family. You got instructions from the deceased Uncle Everett from the seance table included in the game. The goal was to collect his valuable... or maybe worthless items from his estate... and at the end of the game whoever had the most valuable ones and therefore the most money won the game. This too is a highly collectable game and worth quite a bit of money. I would love to have this game again for the childhood memories... yes I was into the strange and the paranormal even back then.

Did playing these games make me strange and interested in the paranormal? Did they make me a Witch? No.... I already was what I was.... even as a child.... and I would be who I am now even without these games.... but they sure made made my childhood a lil more interesting. Would I let my own child paly these games? Yes! They are just games... and Steffie already loves to play Which Witch.... she calls it my "magic witch game".

I also had a magic genie bottle and a Zodiac Ball... I couldn't find any pics of the genie bottle but you pulled the top off and smoke came out and it predicted your future. The Zodiac Ball is just like a Magic 8 Ball that you can still buy.... you ask it a question and turn it over to get your answer in the window in bottom.

I think it would be great if they would update these fun games and and make them again.

Do you remember any of these??? Did you have any of them? Do you still have them tucked away somewhere in a closet, attic or basement???
