Anyone remember the gimmick game 'Ghost castle' with all those moving parts and the skull that you dropped down the chimney? I looked forward for Christmas with great anticipation for that one and it was a bit of an anti climax.

This might jog your memory. It came out in 1985.

Agreed,
You'd spend all day trying to find other players only to have the game degenerate into a huge argument after just a few turns. I honestly don't think i ever actually finised a game. Once i got really pissed with my brother and we tossed the board in the air and started throwing pieces at each other (we were kids at the time)

still a cracking game
Fortunately I know plenty of fans.

It is annoying to set up; I agree.

Talisman had a lot of good qualities, but in the end it was a boring game.

Fun game!
I'm at an annoying part where my Archers won't take the other guy's flag, but I have battlefield dominance. Do I need to knock down his castle with arrows?! Lame. I need some swordsmen.

I couldn't figure out how to fire the blooming arrow thing. The little men came and stole my flag, then ran off with it and I was powerless to do anything. And this after reading ALL the instructions! 😠

You need to go to the skill bar in which your "Basic Arrow" skill is present. I had that problem too.

Okay thank you. I'll have another look in the morning. Something productive to do on my days off work. 😉


EDIT: I won't give you the link to the 'South Park' game. It's more than strange. 😕

The only thing good about snakes & ladders is when snakes go up & ladders go down.

But it still sucks.
