Australia or South America are the winners, though. Depending on how many are playing, of course.

16. I wish I still had my Mystery Date game

I had the 70s version. I see it on ebay for $100, these days. My mom gave it away at some point.

18. Flashback time!

Haven't thought of Broadside for years. Do they still make it? My six year old would get a kick out of it, having just seen Master & Commander.

21. They don't make it anymore.

I checked. It is, however, available on ebay. Several copies are on sale now so I presume it's a fairly common item. I may pick one up for my daughter. I certainly had fun with it and, if she likes it, it will be a good transition to more abstract board games a few years from now.
