Where To Watch
Can you name these board games from the '70s?
Take a Risk, you won't be Sorry!
It's a Friday night in 1978. You've got a big pizza, and all your family and friends gathered around for some tabletop entertainment. You crack open a couple of cans of soda, turn on your favorite record, and let the games begin.
We've blurred out the names of these board games, and we want to see if you can figure them out!
Good luck, and be sure to share your score (and your favorite game) in the comments section below!

4/10. I was born in 1972, yet I've never heard of most of these games.
2......oh, well. Was born on 1978.

2/10; although I grew up in the 70's, I never heard of any of those games.
I have never seen any of these games before. The 70s must have been fun. I was a baby then. I guessed and got 5 correct. In the 80s my mom would buy me old board games at garage sales. Never got to play any of these though. Wah wah wah!
here's food for thought - would board games sell with the advent of thee almighty CP?
5/10 .that was bad.i never played any of those games shown.there was a game I still have somewhere and need to look for it that I miss.might be called leviathan? Not sure but you had two controls and had to balance a ball bearing thru a maze.i was pretty good at it but never made it to the end.
I never heard of any of these games we played Monopoly operation
4 out of 10. Had no clue about the other six games that I missed. 😕😕😕😕😕
6/10. All guesses except Masterpiece. Board games were a staple in our household in the 70's (while raising kids who LOVED to WIN), but I've never seen nor heard of these games.

Where were these games played ? Not here in the US I loved board games growing up in the late 60s thru 70s and at 63 I’m still playing them and I never heard of these games. Make a real quiz now
4/10 never heard of any of them.
YIKES!!! 4/10. 👎 Got a "Thumbs Down". Never heard of ANY of those games. 🤔
The 4 I got right were all guesses.

6/10 but I never heard of any of them and I grew up in the 60s/70s. Funny it didn't include Stratego, Sub Search, Battleship, RISK.
Don't forget "Mousetrap" Blackandwhitetvfan. Loved that game.
And "Operation" where a light went off if you touched the sides removing bones.
Oh, yes, forgot all about that game. Loved it!
battleship was a zen good one fer sure - heck even "trouble" was a great game - loved Parcheesi and backgammon also - but I wish I could find someone who would play Chess with me:( (I think the oldest game)
8/10; I had plenty of ‘70s board games. Good quiz!
5/10 Never heard of any of these games.
4/10 and I lived through the 70s. Just didn't play many board games, I suppose. I'm more of a word game person.
3/10. All guesses.
5/10 - again, all guesses, except for "Masterpiece." I was expecting board games like, "Clue," "Payday," "Billionaire," "Sorry" and maybe, my favorite, "The Inventors" (remember the machine that patents your invention?)? I never played any of the games in this quiz!
Right! Me too.
6out of 10. Not too bad since they were all guesses! Never heard of any of these.
Me either , Bermuda Triangle 🙃What ? anyway 5 / 10 🫤
5 of 10 which is not bad as only one, maybe two, I recall having ever seen. C.H.U.D. would have been a hilarious game seeing how the movie was and all.
The tag line for this quiz was "Take a Risk, you won't be Sorry." Should have included "but no Payday".
