Does anyone collect board games or accessories? I collect all things related to Monopoly and wonder if there are others. Lets see if anyone collects real vintage board games also like Mystery Date and Gusher
I collect board games; have a few hundred. I enjoy discussion, insight, & word games (InkBlots, Therapy, Secrets, Moods, Imagine If, Perquacky). We also like games that don't require a lot of thought, skill, or strategy, just to take a break from the stresses of life. Visual games, like Scrutineyes or Scan, are fun, too!
I collect vintage/retro games. Uhhh mostly fantasy related games. Currently I have around 25, but always looking for my next game. :D The oldest game currently in my stock is a kids board game called 'The Hobbit Game', from 1977. Scored for 2 bucks at a swapmeet w/all pieces in tact. Yay!
I LOVED playing Mystery Date when I was growing up. I didn't have the game but my neighborhood friend did so I was always bugging her to bring the game out. Brought back some good memories. I love board games. I collect my faves: Monopoly, Star Wars Monopoly, Scrabble, Checkers (the set from my grandmother I used to play when I went to visit), Backgammon, Chinese Checkers, Parcheesi.
This is my first post in my first neighborhood. I am an avid collector of all things monopoly. I have purchased a good number of items in my collection from good old eBay. I have between 35 and 40 themed boards and numerous other items depicting monopoly. Would like to hear about your most prized board, rarest find, anything.
I collect them. I have over 200 card and board games. I love all sorts of games - Christian, mystery, bluffing, dice (dice games don't like me), fantasy, CCG/TCGs, etc. I also design my own games. I hope to get them out into the world soon.
I am slowing building up a library of games. Most are fantasy-type war games and bookcase games like Ace of Aces, Supremacy, Puerto Rico, Illumunati, Axis & Allies, Fortress America, Shogun, Diplomacy, Kings & Things... but I've moved away from all of my high school friends who I played many of these with. So now, I find myself buying more and more of them off eBay and collecting them I suppose in a way to try to capture my youth.
Sure would be nice to be able to play that mint condition Dark Tower game I accidentally sniped for $300. I really wanted it, and I know that one of those games in Mint Condition with all the pieces, was ultra hard to find (had watches out for over a year), so I bid high, thinking I would outbid anyone possibly thinking of trying to snipe it during the last seconds of the auction. Apparently, there was someone else out there with the same idea, the bid was at $120 (which is pretty high as it were for a board game), so I plugged in $350 during the last few seconds... and I won it for like $315. Heh... Funny... And some other guy's thinkin': "Heh! That idiot just out-sniped me and bought that thing for $300!" :)
I collect board games. I have about 50. Strategy games are what really attract me. My personal favorite is Risk. I have four different release years of it, one for each kind of piece released, and different variations of it as well. I have two Star Wars variatoins, God Storm, 2210, Lord of the rings and I just won an unpunched version of Castle Risk for only 15.50! I also own multiple variations of Trival Pursuit, Monopoly, and three different castle versions of Weapons and Warriors for the ultimate medeival battle to take place in my living room. Besides my 1960's version of Risk, the games I'm most proud of owning are a National Geographic game I was awarded for winning my school's Geography Bee back in 1991, the World Cup 1994 board game, the Spiro T. Agnew American History Challenge Game, and a 1953 version of Clue.
I just recently started to collect vintage board games too. I am trying to find all my old early 1980's games I used to play. Ever since I hit 30 years old I suddenly wanted my early yers back! I found a smurf game and an ET game that i played as a kid. I am now looking for a game called Junk food Jimmy or something like thatI can't remember its name. Well anyways, I wish all of you luck in your search and happy board game collecting!
