The Old Game of Life in my Attic

March 21, 2012 |

If you found this gem in your attic,

in perfect condition, what would you do with it?

Play it?

Sell it?

Frame it and display it?

I was so excited when I found this in our attic! I bought it at a garage sale before we were married, stuck it in a box, and COMPLETELY forgot about it. I didn’t check the year, but now I’m curious.

But I’m even more curious to hear, what would you do with it?

    I would play it and then display it. I was thinking the same thing as Stacey with displaying it. What an awesome find!

    I would keep it! The games today just pale in comparison. Those were meant to last. The ones today are here today gone tomorrow! What a gem! I wish I could find the 70's version of Hungry Hungry Hippos. If you're not interested in keeping it, sell it on E-Bay. I always like when other people pay me to part with stuff!

    I just can't help but laugh. I am 48 and this IS the game I have from my childhood. I know we got it new when I was a child and it is still the game we play at our house...I just could never upgrade. Still have the ancient game of CLUE that is probably older than I am too...and it just makes me laugh to think it's vintage.......

    I love it! I would totally play it and showcase it. I went back to my Pinterest and found this idea to share with you. I would love to do this with several games. http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/displaying-game-boardsinfarran-149687

    I would play it then make a shadow box out of it. Put the box as the background and the pieces, etc. in. It could be really cool!
