does any one have any vintage board games? where can you get them????
thanks:-D
I think everyone has a slightly different idea as to what is "Vintage", but I have quite a few board games from my childhood that I've kept over the years... Plus, I've added quite a few more games to my collection from looking on E-bay. I usually just do a search for Milton Bradley or Parker Brothers... that brings up a lot of stuff!! Or, you can always click on their search catagories under board games. There is a neat website called "boardgamegeek.com" that has a lot of info as well.
