From the archives: A look at the good, bad, and ugly games we played before computers. | ✍️ hollo
I’m privileged to have a built-in “stay-at-home bubble” because I rent an apartment from my friends, who live on the first floor of the building with their son . We all have a fondness for the design and aesthetics of board games from the 70s and 80s, and quarantine time has given us a bit of an excuse to do a deep dive into the household collection. Note that while these are all games that were sold in the U.S. more than 30 years ago, for the most part we have the Canadian versions .
As such, the cover art features the ape on top of the twin towers, and the board includes a plastic version of Kong that spins as he climbs. Kong basically knocks down each player with each spin on the board, so it takes forever to get your player past him and win. But the painting of the building is so detailed and wonderful that I give this an “A” as an art object and a “C-” for tedious game play.
