HMFC01 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Some grounded funtime... I actually used to like ludo alot as my favourite board game. No idea why 😊. Probably because it was easy to play. Not as exciting and frustrating as snakes and ladders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because it was easy to play. Not as exciting and frustrating as snakes and ladders. Our family played Ludo every evening for about 4 months during last years lockdown. Spent most of the summer being tactically outthought by a 7-yr old. Main thing was it took them away from screens for some wholesome family fun 🤩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can't believe my folks let me loose with it. Only time in my life I've had methylated spirits in my hands was as a 10 year old at Xmas as part of a chemistry set.

I remember when we lived in Canada in 79-81, I had the whole truck, furniture, stunt cycle set up. There was a garter snake nest under the bush in our back garden, I set the truck (it had a ramp on the back) and had Evel jump over it... You could say he actually did jump Snake Canyon after all...

Tazio Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 We found one of these in my work a couple of years ago. As it turns round the fishes mouths open and close revealing a bit of metal inside and you have a fishing rod with a bit of string with a magnet and whoever pulls the most fish out wins. It kept us amused for months on breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I saw it.. pre shaped crap encouraging absolute zero imagination...
