SPEND! SELL! SQUASH! BOARD GAMES THAT CASH IN ON POP CULTURE
December 21, 1992|
Imagine a rare Sunday afternoon when you and your child have nothing to do. “Let’s play a board game,” you suggest and your youngster eagerly agrees. The two of you pop up some popcorn, grab a soft drink from the fridge and settle around the kitchen table for a relaxed respite from the hectic holiday season.
Splat! In seconds you can kill a bug in the popular Bug Squisher’s Race. Or Yahoo! Be the first to catapult little plastic cowboys onto a bucking bronco. Got a yen to spend? You can Meet Me at the Mall, or shop till you drop with Mall Madness. You can pose as a stockbroker in Pit!, yelling out prices for wheat and soybeans. Tired of taking turns? In ASAP, you race to see who can name members of categories the fastest.
