[Brian · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a book that is geared for nostalgia. Sadly it is something I have no nostalgia for; board games in the 50's and 60's. The book is divided into sections and contains photographs of many interesting old board games, some based on pop culture, others that are older versions of now classics. The book doesn't have a lot of information which was the reason I gave it 3 stars. I wanted to know more about these games, and instead I was just given a cute picture of them.
