Kid Gleason Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 The problem with Battle Of The Sexes (and my wife and everybody I know of agrees with me), is that most of the "male" questions are simple, but the ones for the women are impossible. The women always win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KansasSoxFan Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 (edited) This site might give you some ideas, especially if you're looking for something out of the ordinary:  http://www.boardgamegeek.com/wiki/page/Board_Game_Gift_Guide  Boardgamegeek is a forum for board game fanatics. I discovered the site one day while looking up old board games from my childhood, like Bonkers!, Run Yourself Ragged, and The MAD Magazine game. Just about every board game you can think of is on the site.  Oooooooooo, Arkham Horror!?!

Flash Tizzle Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Some time, I want to guess around 1990-1992, there was a boardgame which centered around the idea of a plastic, cone shaped object (representing a Tornado) following a path once you spun it. Â I may be missing up certain elements of the game, but I recall the board was created to resemble mountains. Â Anyone know the title?

Is it a Dungeons and Dragons kind of game? Â All of the players are on the same team trying to beat the game. Â It's like D&D in the sense that you have characters with stats and you roll dice to determine success in actions, yes, but otherwise, no.

StrangeSox Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Just to let everyone know, they completely re-worked and ruined the game of Life sometime in the mid 90's. The game now is "see who gets the highest salary." That's basically all there is to it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
