Flea Circus & Super Magnetel games
One thing about our games: if you play with your kids, you’ll probably lose.
In Flea Circus, it takes split-second timing and coordination to make tiny magnetic fleas perform daring circus tricks. In Super Magnetel®, it takes a steady hand to aim and shoot the magnetic discs in any of ten different games. (Our third new game is Sprint. It’s the game that brings the excitement of the drag strip to the game board.) These are all games of skill, action and fun. That’s why they can keep youngsters busy for hours.

Back either in the 50’s or 60’s our family played a game that I’ve been unable to find. The playing pieces were airplanes and they sat on a clear plastic board under which a roll would turn and various weather conditions such as storms would appear. Have you any idea what this game was called or how I could find it?
Sky Lanes or Astron
Hello, Has anyone heard of a board game I believe was called Balcor or something like that from the 1960s? I had this game. I believe it was a monopoly type game buying hotels etc.
I remember a board game that had a theme of a farm and vegetables (with faces) and maybe fruit too. I think it had a spinner with arrow you would ‘flick’ with a finger to give you moves.
My sister and I played this in the early early 1960s.
The Bobbsey Twins Game, maybe?
I am looking for the game that had plastic sticks to poke into a vertical “board” with holes. You had to get your “guy” to the bottom first.
I am looking for the name of a game I played in either the late fifties or early sixties. There was a plastic game board that was three dimensional with mountains, trails and rivers, in the colors of a topographical map. (It may have been in the rough shape of America). You moved marbles along the trail (marked with depressions the marble would set in) according to dice (or a dial?) racing against your opponent. Some spots did not have a depression but had your marble slide down an incline to set you back.
Growing up in the 70s, a favorite was the battlefield game Stratego, along with Battleship. I had a lot of games that were really complicated and therefore not that much fun to play — the simplest, most straightforward games were the favorites. My mother loved Uncle Wiggly, mainly because she remembered playing it when she was little.
