Compendium of Games

[chickenrunner]

I remember blow football being included in some compendiums.

Bloody hell that would be a bit of a super spreader event in the current 'difficulty'.

I remember this but never thought of it as a Christmas collection. Going to have to start building a board game collection now we have a little one, so might have to buy one.

My mother in law bought my father in law Subbuteo last year, so we had a decent little tournament on Boxing Day! Gonna have to get Test Match Cricket this year I think

He always beat me at Subbuteo
'cause he flicked the kick
And I didn't know

We got spoilt. We had a satsuma in the sock as well

Got to say Eziozi that in this thread you paint an interesting picture of your childhood. Its like the house in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. 10 to a bed including both sets of grandparents, one shouting death to The Japanese.

Our outside loo always had the gazette, I can't remember if the inside one did. Izal was brutal stuff though.

Knocky knocky hide oh, filled many a boring night.

 

[Eziozi’s Ghost]

Izal and Jeye’s were both akin to using an Argos Catalogue today to be fair.

Good job we never had underpants.!

I’ve not played a game of ludo for over 50 years. And yet I still remember it clearly. That anguish when you get taken just short of the finish.

In those formative years of playing I never realised the game was so named because ludo is Latin for “play”.
