We actually got this for Christmas in '67, from a relative; we never even opened the box.

What about you?
I hold the dubious honor of having for-real played THE SINKING OF THE TITANIC.

Yes, it sinks as you play. You have to collect passengers from the rooms, get to a lifeboat and then navigate a big barren blue board representing the frigid Atlantic (yet I seem to recall the islands you could row to being tropical in nature; one had a cannibal tribe, I'm pretty sure.)

This actually sounds fun.

I finally got around to looking at your YouTube. That's a truly terrible game.

They should remake this as
The Face-palm Game.

@Pacman: the actual gameplay was kind of fun, but yeah, bad taste, Ideal Games.
I bought this for my best friend many years ago:

I bought this one for myself just a few years ago. It actually comes with an "Axis of Evil" ski-mask like the one in the picture:

SUPERSTITION (1977, Milton Bradley). Description:
"Are you superstitious? Do you dare walk under a ladder? Let a toad touch you? Break a Mirror? Defy the "Evil Eye"? ...All these superstitions are waiting for youwhen you sneak through the Graveyard at midnight to break into the Wizard's Tomb. For your bravery, you capture a "Charm" and a "Whammy" to help you get back out the Graveyard gate."
Let a toad touch you? Defy the "evil eye"? What about normal stuff like a black cat crossing your path? Weird. Cool plastic props though.

Pie Face is dope.
My Dad had all these really compicated board games like Fly Finegan and some one where you are a garbage man witha zillion little garbage pieces. they were like not that good.

SUPERSTITION looks like fun.
I keep trying to imagine the pitch meeting that led to PIE FACE being released; it is just so bizarre.
