If I had to choose one vintage board game as my most favorite of all time, this would be it: the classic Disney Haunted Mansion Game made by Lakeside in the 1970s. Based on the beloved attraction at Walt Disney World, the game beautifully recreated its scenes and specters.I had this game as a child, and my sister, cousins, and I played it over and over, until the game literally disintegrated. Last year, I finally decided my nostalgic yearning was strong enough to justify paying the steep asking price for a decent example. Now, we play it again, but very, very carefully!
I agree! One of my very favorites! So sad I've lost mine, all but one of the ghost couples... I think my step-dad sold it at a garage sale after I went to college... :\
ReplyDeleteLike most of the toys I had in the mid 70's, my Haunted Mansion was given to younger cousins and eventually got lost. I liked it so much, it was such a nice game. The design was cool, and all the little pieces were adding to the appeal of this game. I have been looking at auction for 2 years now...I resist but one day I'll just pay up and get it back too :)
ReplyDeleteHi Tracy. I am going to try to build a refreshed version of the game. I need a lot of pictures though. Would you be willing to take pictures of all the parts and send them to me? Hi resolution with no glare so I can reprint them and attach to chipboard and 3d print all the plastic parts. If you agree, I can send you my email address so I can communicate in more detail.
