Deprived- we were never allowed to have games like this

Ours were always educational except I got the Batman board game once and my sister got bed bugs, but I seriously would have killed for a game of operation

To this day I still cringe when I see boggle, yahtzee or scrabble
What is straight? A line can be straight, or a street, but the human heart, oh, no, it's curved like a road through mountains.

To teach us left from right my grade 2 teacher Mrs Smith made us play twister. And thus began a life-long obsession with the game.

Snap.

this is my favourite all time game.

In the mid seventies, I cried for 3 weeks straight- until my parent's bought it for me.
