Scissors: Ok, what’s a non-video game that you always wanted? My friend Kristi had ker-plunk and I did not I wanted it.

We need to find these and we need to play them.

Mousetrap - I was always a sucker for Rube Goldberg machines.

One of my favorites!!!

Me too! My friend had it but for some reason my mom wouldn’t let us get this one.

I never actually played the game, but I loved building the contraption!

The game was a lot less fun than the contraption-building

Hungry Hungry Hippos.

OMG MY FRIENDS HAD THAT AND I WANTED IT BAD!!!!

Pop o matic Trouble. I was obsessed with my cousins' game and popped that thing so many times just for the heck of it.

Oh, I also knew people with that and couldn’t resist the bubble, but didn’t understand the game at all.

I had kerplunk. It was not actually very fun if you don’t care for loud noises

That’s exactly why I was never allowed to have it lol

We weren’t allowed to have mouse trap cause we’d lose the pieces. Then it neighbor got it. And we lost the pieces

Oh no! Lol

Not all of them, just enough to make it not work. So annoying when parents are right

It really is

This was probably banned too.

I don’t know that one! (But if it made noise, yeah…it wasn’t happening)

I had operation, but when the battery died it was not replaced “You don’t need the buzzer. Just take the pieces out” I didn’t know I was learning so much about our healthcare system…

Ok, the other song stuck in my head this morning is the old “Operation!” commercial jingle: Water on the knee! Operation! Thousand dollar fee! Operation! …and I’m realizing for the first time money was involved and not just removing the pieces and OMG MALPRACTICE & FRAUD WAS A PART OF GAMEPLAY

lol same. Also with my Simon, I was told the batteries could not be replaced 💀

Wow. I had that and totally don’t recall that. Just found that game last night in our shore house rental; can only assume it doesn’t have batteries 🙂

LMAOOOOOOO

Similar concept as kerplunk. Remove ice cubes one by one till they all fall

Man does that look different than it used to

Not a game, but a puzzle. Well, a collection of puzzles. Each one had six identical pieces. If you collected the set, they could be combined into one giant puzzle. I had one of them as a kid, and only recently realized that eBay exists, and so have been able to collect them.

This is in my game closet right now.

Omg I am so jealous

Wait I lied. I think I got rid of it 🥲 Current closet

Oh no! But you still have a good collection!

I also need to get on a stepladder and see what else is in there. My sister reorganized it when she was here and I can’t see it all

Scrabble Deluxe—Now with vowels

🤣😜

Twister and Mystery Date are (coincidentally 🤔) very close to one another…

Lol

...Exploding Kitties?

It’s really fun!

I haven’t played it yet but it was recommended

Mystery date!

I confess I bought it at a yard sale out of pure nostalgia

I wanted Spirograph so I gave myself a set for Xmas a few years ago

I’m so glad you got it!

I still want it!

I never had Lego as a kid. 😭 When I was in college, my friends found out and they all bought me a bunch of Lego sets for my birthday, it was great and I still get them out and play now and then. I did have Lincoln Logs and an Erector Set though.

Aww! I love that! I never had Lego sets, but had a bucket of random legos. I also had Tinkertoys! Anyone remember those?

Yeah we never had sets of Lego, just random ones. We had tinker toys and maybe an erector set? Or something similar.

I had tinker toys too! My friends had tons of Lego, so it wasn't the end of the world, but I always wanted my own.

Oh, yeah. I get that. I never understood how my friends were making such cool things with their legos and I just…couldn’t. I didn’t know about “sets”. Lol

Me neither lol. I was like, I can build a house? That’s about it. I didn’t put together an actual Lego set until maybe 10 years ago. My husband and I did the Millennium Falcon, and it was so fun! Took us 3 days over Christmas Break.

You could design a nursing version for those needing hand PT, e.g., postoperative or post-stroke. Put their pain meds in the top, they need to successfully pull out the obstacles until their pill(s) drop down to a cup below.
