A good amount of the effort I devote to boardgaming is focused on recovering games I used to own and enjoy, but somehow disposed of in the past. Thank goodness for E-Bay!
A few of the games I seek remind me of happy times growing up and playing boardgames with my family.
Most though are just flat out great games I wish I still had so I could play again.
Every once in a while, I’ll purchase a game that just isn’t as good or as cool as I remember from 20 years ago, but most are still extremely entertaining.
My most recent acquisition is a copy of Milton Bradley’s Bermuda Triangle (1976).
What a fun game!
Players move their cargo ships between
Caribbean ports, trying to be the first to collect $350,000.
A sinister, dark cloud moves around the map sometime sweeping over the fragile ships, magnetically lifting them from the board, never to be seen again.
Bermuda Triangle is without a doubt a low brain power game, but still suspenseful and enjoyable.
Now to check on my bids on Storm over Arnhem and B-17 Queen of the Skies....

You know, this is what I regret when I read stories like this on BGG. I was never much of a boardgamer back then. Other than your usual Monopoly, Life, Battleship...I didn't have any other cool games as a kid. Not even Risk. I think I played Risk twice in my life, and hated it.
In high school, my gaming centered around trying to play a decent campaign of AD&D second edition, and then eventually Magic the gathering. Boardgaming I picked up by accident last year as I focused my energies on PC gaming. Damn you Scrye Magazine and your special feature on a Board game named after my ________ (state/commonwealth....we really don't know what we are).
Hey, regarding that missing post. Did some one make a comment they came to regret, or did the Bermuda Triangle hit our blog?
If it's the former, then know I have been there first.
If it's the later, then that's pretty funny.

I was intrigued, Ted, but I checked, and it was Robert who deleted the mystery post.
