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.

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!
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!
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".

"...but no Payday, just Aggravation!"
4/10 & mostly guesses. And the 70s were my school years!
Hell I graduated High School in 1977 and I never heard of any of these. I guess that is why I got 4/10
😂 Okay, I was born in 1958 and played board games in the 70s--see photo, just to name a few. I got 0/10 and with the exception of RISK (which wasn't in the quiz), I don't remember ANY of those games. I'm thinking most (if not ALL) of them must have bombed big time when they were released. But, I do remember the companies that made the games I played and enjoyed back in the day! #Hasbro #Ideal #Mattel #MiltonBradley #ParkerBrothers
Yes those were some obscure games for sure. I guess in a way that is better as this quiz was not a breeze like some other ones have been.
🙂
Twister at a "slumber party" with our 45s--James Brown, The Foundations, Elvis Presley, CCR, Chubby Checker (The Twist goes great with Twister) and too many more to list.
6 of 10, Let’s roll the dice again. 🎲
9/10 I was a Child of the 70's
50%. I actually had the “Masterpiece” game. All of the paintings in it were replicas of ones in Chicago’s Art Institute. Basically “Monopoly” with art instead of property.
Who put this list together? I've only heard of a couple of these. Checked out all of these on Board Game Geeks they'd never heard of Tuned In.
4/10 Don’t remember most of those games 🤔
I can't say that I've ever heard of any of these games but I'm a good guesser and only missed one.
3/19. Thought I'd do better because I was a kid in the 1970's and early 80's, but they picked some pretty obscure ones.
