Milton Bradley

With some interesting theme ideas the Bermuda Triangle had the potential to be a pretty good roll and move game. Unfortunately that potential is never fulfilled.

In 1964 and 1965 a children’s gameshow called Shenanigans aired on ABC. In order to cash in on the show, Milton Bradley made a board game about the show. While the game had some potential, too many of the games rely entirely on luck.

Times to Remember is a solid game that will definitely appeal to trivia buffs (who know their years), but it may be too tough for more casual trivia fans and younger players.

In the 1930’s through the 1950’s a radio show by the name of Fibber McGee and Molly ruled the airwaves. In 1940 Milton Bradley tried to make a board game based on the comedy. While the “Mad Lib” story mechanic can provide some laughs, the game is otherwise sorely lacking.

Despite being a roll-and-move game, Big Foot towers over most of its competition in the genre and is quite a bit of fun for families.

Are you ready for some Pig Pong? No not Ping Pong but Pig Pong. Pig Pong is a 1986 game created by Milton Bradley where players use a pig in order to blow air to push the ball onto the other side of the net. Pig Pong may be a children’s game but is is surprisingly more enjoyable for adults than you would expect.

Ready! Set! Spaghetti! In this 1989 Milton Bradley game you try to roll up your spaghetti before your competitors. While Ready! Set! Spaghetti should appeal to children, the game relies too heavily on luck to be very entertaining for adults.

Are you sick of the traditional roll and move games? In 1989 Milton Bradley tried to revolutionize the roll and move genre with This Game is Bonkers. In This Game is Bonkers players play cards on the board which alter how players move around the gameboard. This Game is Bonkers tried to be innovative, but its’ new ideas for the most part fall flat.

Cardino is a light to moderate strategy game created by Milton Bradley in 1970. After having picked it up for cheap from a rummage sale/thrift store, I didn’t have high expectations. As it turns out I was pleasantly surprised by the game.

Yahoo Buckaroo! is a children’s game at heart. Despite some issues though, Yahoo Buckaroo! can be enjoyable for adults as well in short doses.
