30 Weird Board Games Every 1970s Kid Actually Played

Families bought every one of them. They were wrapped for birthdays and set up on card tables after supper while the dishes waited. These are thirty seventies board games that make more sense the less you think about them. In this video: ✓ The game where a plastic door decided your date ✓ The machine that buzzed when you lied ✓ A haunted ocean on the kitchen table ✓ The shark you fished junk out of ✓ Steel balls under the refrigerator ✓ A board game that ended up in federal court ✓ Why a gong sat in the middle of the table ✓ The card game about a French road trip Looking back, the strangest thing about these games is how ordinary they felt at the time. A plastic shark, a lying machine, a haunted ocean, and a door with a boy behind it were all just a Friday night, and nobody thought it odd to pull them out after supper. Which of these sat in your closet? For now, somewhere in a basement, a plastic door is still stuck halfway open, with the Dud peering out and waiting for the next turn. # BoardGames #1970s #VintageToys #Nostalgia
